Odor level

Our Process

Painter laying down floor protection in a living room

Step 1 · Preparation

Protect and prepare the room

We cover floors and furniture with protective sheets, tape edges, and remove outlet and light switch covers so nothing is splattered or damaged.

Walls and surfaces are cleaned to remove dust and dirt so paint adheres smoothly from the first coat.

Painter repairing and sanding an interior wall

Step 2 · Repairs

Fix nail pops and wall imperfections

Nail pops are filled, small holes are spackled, cracks are repaired, and rough areas are sanded smooth so they disappear once painted.

Painter cutting in and priming an interior wall

Step 3 · Priming

Prime for coverage and adhesion

Once repairs are complete, we prime bare walls and problem areas so finish coats cover evenly and last longer. If color changes are drastic we prime full walls.

Step 4 · Painting and finish

Cut in, roll, and reveal the room

After priming, we carefully cut in around trim, corners, and edges, then roll paint in multiple thin coats, allowing each layer to dry.

Once everything is dry, hardware and covers are reinstalled, the space is cleaned, and we walk the room with you to make sure every detail looks right.
