FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: What happens when I ask for an estimate?

Your estimate will normally take 30 minutes or so. Walk us around the project area. We may take pictures to ensure the quote is accurate and possibly for before and after pictures.
Once the appointment is over you will be emailed or texted a printable written estimate. This will show you the price we would charge to complete your full project. Includes: paint, materials, aprox hours, labor, etc.
Once you have received the estimate please contact us to let us know if you would like to proceed and set up an appointment to get the project started. If you would be so kind as to also contact us and let us know if you would like to pass that would help us out as well.
If you agree to the estimate together we will set a start date and time. You will also receive a confirmation email or text as a reminder.
