Why should I hire a professional painter? There are many reasons to hire a professional to paint your home or office. Besides being more time efficient, hiring painting contractors ensures your project meets health codes, is properly prepped and cleaned up, and provides a professional finish.

Do you give advice for house painting color selection? Yes, our paint color consultant gives expert advice on what colors to choose. You also have the option to test sample house painting colors on your walls before making your final decision.

What should I do to prepare my house for painting? Our painting crews protect all your furniture, fixtures, and floor coverings when they prepare the area, however we ask that you clear the room of small items and breakables. We can also move the bigger items for you when we arrive upon request.

4.

What type of paint do you use? We like to pair the paint we use with the job we are doing. Most commonly we use Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, and Hirshfields for interior painting and Benjamin Moore, Sikkens, Cabots, Storm, and Sherwin-Williams for exterior painting. If there is a different paint brand or type you would like to use, we are more than happy to use that as well. Just ask!

Do you provide touch up paint after you are finished? We sure do! Once we've completed painting, we provide all the leftover paint for the touch-ups. We can also remove and properly dispose of your old paint as well, just be sure to inquire about our removal service when our estimator comes to your home!

6.

Are you a licensed and insured painting contractor? Yes, our painting company has been fully licensed and insured since 1980 by the State of Wisconsin. This means that not only do we carry liability insurance, but we also carry workers' compensation insurance. This isn't only because it is required by the state, but because it protects our work force as well as you, the home owner, because unfortunately, injuries do happen.

How long does a job take? The length of a project varies. Most of the residential painting we do can be completed in less than a week, however we also have jobs which take upwards of two weeks. Commercial painting projects can take longer depending on the size of the building(s). Throughout the entire project, we make sure to keep you very informed of the timeline. If we think the project may take longer than expected, we let you know right away.
