What’s Included in Our Painting Pricing

Many quotes look similar at first glance. The difference is in the prep, protection, and cleanup. Our pricing includes the steps homeowners are often surprised to learn are not standard elsewhere.

  • Furniture moving & protection (floors/fixtures protected)
  • Surface preparation (light sanding/cleaning for adhesion)
  • Filling nail holes & minor imperfections
  • Caulking where needed around trim/doors/windows
  • Minor stain blocking (included) for isolated areas
  • Two full finish coats for consistent coverage
  • Professional cleanup + final walkthrough

Extensive stain blocking or full priming is quoted separately when required. Larger stain areas, heavy bleed-through, color sealing, or adhesion primers are evaluated during the estimate and outlined in writing.

Our prep-first process

  • Walkthrough + surface evaluation (paint-only vs repairs)
  • Protection: floors, furniture, fixtures, and adjacent surfaces
  • Prep: sanding, patching, caulking, and correcting issues
  • Priming only where required for adhesion/coverage
  • Two finish coats for consistent, durable results
  • Final walkthrough + touch-ups before sign-off

Common problems we correct

  • Nail pops, dents, and surface dings
  • Cracked seams and failed caulk lines
  • Water stains (evaluated + blocked as appropriate)
  • Glossy/failed paint that needs sanding for adhesion
  • Uneven patches that would “telegraph” through paint

Repairs beyond standard prep are clearly outlined during the estimate.

Exterior Painting: Built to Protect & Impress

Michigan weather is tough on siding, trim, and woodwork. We don’t stop at paint — we prep, seal, and protect so your home looks sharp and holds up season after season.

Exterior work we commonly do

  • Wash / scrape / sand so paint bonds properly
  • Caulking and sealing around windows, doors, and trim
  • Rotten wood replacement and trim repairs
  • Two coats of premium exterior paint under proper conditions
  • Siding, shutters, decks, garages, and outbuildings

If drywall repairs are needed before interior painting, we’ll scope that clearly and handle it the right way. See our drywall page for repair options and examples.
