Questions
Asked most weeks.
Do you paint ceilings too?
Yes, usually in a flat white one shade warmer than the trim. Textured ceilings are sprayed; smooth ones rolled.
Can you match a color from another brand?
Yes. Bring the chip or a painted sample and we match it in the line we are using.
What about trim and doors?
Trim and doors are a separate line on the estimate so you can see the difference. We brush trim; doors are sprayed off their hinges when the budget allows.
