  • We offer free estimates for the total cost of your project, which may vary depending on factors like the number of rooms, the surfaces being painted, and the extent of preparation needed. We can also provide a rough estimate for material costs. If the final material cost ends up being lower than our estimate, we'll deduct the excess from the final bill.

  • Absolutely! We paint everything from single rooms to entire homes. We also make sure to pace our work and plan it out so we can keep things running smoothly and minimize any disruption to you and your family’s routine.

    • We use Sherwin Williams paints and primers, as we've worked with the company for years and find their products to be top quality. I pass along my professional discount to clients, offering the best possible price.

    • Benjamin Moore is an alternative option, but please note that the discount isn't as significant as the one available through my Sherwin Williams Pro Account.

    • For murals and furniture, I work with acrylics, latex paint, chalk paint, and other materials that are suited to the unique surfaces I’m painting on.
