We realize that the exterior and the interior of your home makes the first impression on visitors and family.

We use Sherwin-Williams paints unless you choose another brand. We also use top-notch equipment to ensure a satisfying outcome. Since the weather is always changing in Alabama, we work diligently to paint your exterior and interior before the elements can create any altercations.

Choosing the right color

Choosing the right color of paint can be a challenge. With all the choices, it's hard to even know where to start. We have gathered some of the best painting tips over the years and are here to help you decide. When picking out your paint, it's not just about matching the furniture or curtains, but how the colors make you feel. Our preparation process allows you to see the process in detail. Pricing for paint varies between the amount of prep and material per job. A basic room obviously involves painting walls, ceiling, trim, windows, closets, and doors. Pricing is per room and starts at $100.00 per room.

PAINTING PRICES

Exterior re-paint costs vary depending on the square footage and preparation time. The materials used vary on the structure and these things must be taken into consideration. Most projects start at around $1500.00. Interior painting prices also depend on the square footage of the room. Most projects start around $200 per room.

Preparation Process For Interior Painting

When painting inside the interior of your home you have many facets of prep. This process can be very messy and inconvenient to a homeowner and their family. That is why we put a lot of effort not only into preparation for the sake of the finished product but keeping things clean as possible during this process for the homeowner's comfort.

Laying drop clothes, plastic, taping thick paper on floors to prevent scratching during high labor foot traffic.
Sealing off entryways that lead to areas that do not need to be disturbed by the renovations to keep the rest of your home as clean and comfortable as possible during this process.
Hand washing your walls, baseboards, window/door casings, moldings, etc.
Sanding all walls and knocking down any imperfections that have been acquired throughout the years.
Skimming all imperfections with sheetrock mud, spackle or plaster.
More sanding
Washing again to get rid of dust created during this process
Applying caulk to all joints in moldings, etc.
Priming all areas that were repaired or drastic color changes
Cutting in paint in corners of walls, doors, windows, closets, trim, and moldings with brushes
Followed closely behind is the "roller man" who rolls walls right after the "cut man" cuts paint to keep a "wet edge" to prevent lines on walls.

Preparation Process For Exterior Painting

Unlike Interior painting, working with the exterior of the house presents many unforeseen challenges. Gutters clog. Rain and weather create mildew or even rot. Insects make nests and deteriorate wood. Especially in the south, we have many critters and the humidity causes siding and caulk to expand and contract throughout the changing seasons. The paint can be caked or cracked from years of wear. For some people, a simple new look is all that is needed. Investing in the exterior face can be a great way to improve your home.

Preparing the exterior of a house can take some time. Often, the wear and tear of time can leave surfaces rough or cracked. Our painters first need to inspect the outer perimeter for extreme cases. If there are missing planks of broken bricks, you will have to repair these major areas before the painting process can begin. Once that is done, a general clearing of debris will begin. Wood splinters must be sanded, spider-webs or other foreign matter must be removed and the exterior completely cleaned before moving forward. The painters will then caulk and fill-in those places that can be amended. This will provide the homeowner with a beautiful, smooth surface to be painted. If there are any window panes, the crew will remove and paint, if needed, to bring more flair to your home.

Our professionals are in uniform with a positive and willing attitude to make you happy throughout this process. We not only want to paint or repair your home but everyone on your streets home! So we have other incentives to keep this up as well.

Inspect the entire house for rotten wood or faulty hardware throughout
Hand and pressure wash the entire exterior with plant and human safe solution that helps strip dirt flakey paint off of your house before repair.
Allow home to dry out. Weather is imperative in this process.
Demo everything on the inspection list and repair. This includes any veneer, door, window, fascia, soffit, gutter, any type of siding, window glazing, window screens, roofing, brick, stone, etc.
When repairing these items we use the best material we can get so further damage isn't an issue for you down the road.
Apply caulk, glazing, putty, etc. to all joints of windows, doors, etc. around your home.
Spot prime every repair or major color change around your home
