FAQ

Yes — we often mix sheens based on room use and lighting. For example, we might recommend flat or matte in bedrooms, eggshell in living rooms, and semi-gloss in kitchens or bathrooms. You’re also welcome to request your preference. We’ll explain the pros and cons of each finish and how it affects the look and durability. If you’re unsure, we can provide sample boards or test patches so you can see it in your space before committing.

Before we start, we cover or tape off vents, thermostats, light switches, outlets, and nearby electronics to keep them safe and paint-free. For ceiling vents or exposed ductwork, we’ll either mask them off or remove the covers and reinstall them after painting. If you have smart devices, cameras, or special electronics installed, we ask that you either unplug or secure them — or let us know so we can take extra precautions. We work clean, but we also work carefully around anything valuable or delicate.

Yes — we can do test swatches or sample patches before starting large or color-sensitive jobs. This is especially helpful when trying out bold colors, working with natural lighting, or matching existing decor. If you already have a paint color in mind, we can apply a sample to a small wall section so you can see how it dries. If you're undecided, we can apply two to three sample colors side-by-side to help you choose. Just ask during your quote — we’ll include it in the plan.

We specialize in residential interior and exterior painting throughout Orange County. That includes walls, ceilings, trim, doors, garage doors, stucco, siding, fencing, and even cabinets. We also handle prep work like drywall patching, sanding, caulking, masking, and priming. Need something specific like an accent wall, a fence re-stain, or a small touch-up? No problem — we handle small jobs with the same care as large ones. Our crew is known for clean work, fast turnaround, and showing up exactly when we say we will.

We use high-end, professional-grade paints from trusted brands like Sherwin-Williams and Dunn-Edwards — not the cheap stuff you find at big box stores. These paints last longer, cover better, and resist fading, chipping, and peeling over time. We’ll help you choose the right finish (flat, eggshell, satin, etc.) based on the room and surface. If you’ve got pets, kids, or high-traffic areas, we’ll steer you toward washable, durable options. Need something eco-friendly or low-VOC? Just ask — we’ve got those too.

We get it — life happens. If you need to reschedule or cancel, we just ask that you give us at least 24 hours’ notice. That way, we can adjust our crew schedule and possibly fill your time slot with another customer. There’s no cancellation fee if you give notice. If it’s a same-day cancellation or a no-show, we may charge a small rebooking fee to cover crew prep and materials already purchased. Either way, just text or call us — we’ll work with you to find a new time that fits.

Yes — we take care of all standard prep, including masking off baseboards, covering floors, protecting furniture, taping trim, and removing outlet covers. We bring clean drop cloths, plastic, and tape to every job so your space stays clean from start to finish. We ask that you move small and fragile items ahead of time, but for larger furniture, we’ll work around it or shift it gently as needed. If you're unsure what to move or how to prepare, just send us a message — we’ll guide you step-by-step before the crew arrives.

We don’t offer full mold remediation, but we do provide basic mold and mildew treatment as part of prep for painting. If we notice minor mildew on bathroom ceilings, exterior siding, or window trims, we’ll treat the surface with a safe antimicrobial solution before priming and painting. If we suspect deeper or active mold issues — especially from water leaks — we’ll let you know and recommend a specialist before proceeding. It’s important to address the source of the moisture first. Our goal is always to give you a clean, sealed, and safe surface before applying any paint.

Absolutely. In fact, text and email are the easiest way to reach us — especially if you're on a job site, at work, or don’t want to talk on the phone. You can send over project photos, ask questions, or book a time — and we’ll respond quickly, usually within minutes during business hours. Many of our clients text us after hours, too — we’ll reply first thing in the morning. Once you're scheduled, we’ll send you a confirmation with all the details so there's no guesswork. Clear, simple, and no back-and-forth.

Yes — we include full cleanup at the end of every job, including any windblown dust, paint flecks, or overspray that may happen during the process. We take steps to avoid it upfront with proper masking, low-pressure sprayers, and drop cloths, but if anything gets where it shouldn't, we clean it thoroughly before we leave. That includes wiping down windows, fixtures, walkways, driveways, or nearby plants if needed. Our crew double-checks all edges and surroundings during final cleanup — you won’t be left with a mess or hidden overspray to deal with later.

Yes — for areas like bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, or around sinks, we use moisture-resistant primers and durable paints that hold up to humidity, steam, and cleaning. If your walls have water stains or mildew, we treat and seal them before painting. You’ll also get the right finish recommendation — usually satin, semi-gloss, or specialty mold-resistant paint depending on the room. We don’t cut corners in high-moisture zones because poor prep there leads to early peeling and mold — and that’s something we prevent from the start.

Payment is due upon completion of the job, once you’ve had a chance to walk through and make sure everything looks the way you expected. We don’t ask for full payment up front — we want you to feel confident that the job’s been done right before anything else. We accept Zelle, credit cards, debit, checks, and cash. If you need a receipt, invoice, or breakdown for your records or taxes, just let us know and we’ll email it to you on the spot.

Absolutely — we’re fully licensed in California and carry general liability and workers’ comp insurance. If you need documentation for your HOA, landlord, or records, just ask and we’ll send everything over by email. We want you to feel 100% comfortable working with us — and we’re happy to provide proof of coverage, business credentials, or anything else you need for peace of mind.

Yes — we offer light sanding and sealing as part of our fence staining or restaining service. If your fence has old, peeling stain or weathered wood, we’ll sand the surface enough to open the pores and help the new product absorb better. After staining, we can apply a clear or tinted sealer to protect the wood from UV, rain, and wear. This is optional but highly recommended if you want the color and finish to last longer. We’ll assess your fence’s condition and recommend the best approach when we quote the job.

Yes — we can paint over popcorn (acoustic) ceilings if they’re in good condition. This is a great option if you want to refresh the ceiling without going through the mess and cost of removal. We use the right rollers and techniques to get solid coverage without flattening or damaging the texture. If you're thinking about removal, we can refer you to a local specialist, but painting over is often faster, cleaner, and much more budget-friendly. We’ll take a look (or review a photo) and let you know if painting is the right approach.

Yes — if you’d like, we can send daily photo updates, a short status message, or both. This is especially helpful for out-of-town clients, rental property owners, or realtors managing the project remotely. Just let us know your preferred update method — text, email, or both — and we’ll keep you in the loop. We want you to feel informed every step of the way, even if you’re not on-site.

Sometimes, yes — if a job requires extra equipment, scaffolding, or time due to ceiling height or difficult access, we’ll include that in the quote. Examples might include two-story entryways, tall exterior peaks, or vaulted ceilings. We’ll always let you know up front if there’s an added cost and why. The goal is never to nickel-and-dime — we just want to make sure we’re sending the right crew with the right gear to get the job done safely and professionally.

We’re available for calls, texts, and emails Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. If you message us outside of those hours, we’ll get back to you as soon as we’re back online — usually first thing the next business day. For painting projects, we typically start between 8:00 and 9:00 AM, and finish by late afternoon depending on the scope of work. If you need a special start time (for access, tenants, or noise rules), just let us know when you book and we’ll work around your schedule.

Yes — priming bare surfaces is included as part of our prep process. If we’re painting over new drywall, patched areas, raw wood, or stains, we’ll use the correct primer to ensure solid adhesion and even color. We don’t charge extra for necessary primer work — it’s part of doing the job right. If your walls are in rough shape and need a full primer coat throughout, we’ll let you know during your quote and break down why it’s important.

Yes — for exterior painting, you don’t need to be onsite as long as we have clear access to the property and you’ve approved the scope of work in advance. Many of our clients schedule remotely, especially investors or out-of-town homeowners. For interior work, someone 18 or older must be present when we arrive and available to do a final walkthrough once we’re finished. If you're not able to be there personally, we can coordinate with a property manager, family member, or trusted neighbor to let us in.

Absolutely. We paint garage interiors, garage doors, drywall, ceilings, and freestanding sheds. Whether you're looking to clean up a dusty garage or update a backyard structure, we’ll prep the space and use the right coatings for the surface and exposure level. For garages, we often recommend washable, scuff-resistant paints — great for tool areas, workout zones, or general storage. If your garage is unfinished drywall or has stains, we’ll prime and patch first to give you a clean, fresh result.

Yes — we can paint shutter boxes, overhangs, eaves, soffits, and other hard-to-reach exterior features. These areas take a beating from the sun and weather, so fresh paint not only improves curb appeal but helps protect the surface from damage and rot. We use ladders or scaffolding as needed and always prep the area first — that includes scraping, priming, and sealing if necessary. If your shutters are faded, cracked, or made of specialty materials like vinyl or composite, we’ll make sure to use the correct type of paint for long-lasting adhesion.

Yes — we’ve worked with many Orange County HOAs, and we know the drill. If your community requires pre-approval for color changes, we can help you with documentation, paint samples, product specs, license/insurance certificates — whatever your HOA board needs. We’ll also make sure your paint choices comply with the HOA’s guidelines if you're not sure what's allowed. Many neighborhoods have a pre-approved palette, and we can help you choose something that fits. Let us know your HOA name when you book your quote, and we’ll handle the paperwork side while you focus on the look.

Yes — sealing cracks is a key part of our standard prep for exterior painting. We inspect siding, stucco, trim, and fascia boards for hairline or open cracks, then use high-grade elastomeric caulking or patching compounds to seal them before painting. This step helps prevent water intrusion, insect damage, and premature peeling. If your home has large gaps or structural separation, we’ll point it out and offer repair options before we begin. We don’t just paint over problems — we prep the surface so the paint lasts.

Yes — we can color match to samples, old paint, or even a photo, as long as there’s a reference we can work from. If you have leftover paint, a color chip, or a sample wall, we’ll bring a digital color reader or use fan decks to get the closest possible match. If your paint was done by a builder or contractor, just let us know the community or builder name — we may already be familiar with their palette. We’ll also test the match in a small spot before painting to make sure it looks right in your lighting.

Painting costs vary depending on the size of your home, how much prep is needed, and whether it’s interior or exterior. That said, we make the process super simple. You can call, text, or email us — and if you send photos or a short video of the space, we can often give you an instant quote within seconds (yes, literally seconds in many cases). No waiting days or playing phone tag. One of our live team members will reply quickly — no bots, no forms to fill out, just fast, friendly help from a real person who knows painting. You’ll get a transparent, no-pressure quote so you can plan your budget and book when you’re ready.

Most jobs take 1 to 3 days, depending on the size of the space, the amount of prep required, and the number of coats needed. For example, painting a few rooms with minimal prep might be a one-day job. A full interior or exterior repaint with repairs might take 2–3 days or longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront based on your project, and we stick to it. Our crews work efficiently but never rush, and we keep you updated along the way so there are no surprises.

We occasionally offer seasonal promotions or referral discounts, depending on the time of year. If you’re looking to gift a paint job or credit toward a future service, we can set that up — just let us know the amount and recipient. Gift jobs are especially popular for move-ins, new homeowners, or family members who want help with a home update. We’ll make sure the recipient is taken care of, and we’ll honor the value toward any paint service they choose.

No problem — we see this all the time. Crayon, markers, scuffs, dents, and holes can all be primed, patched, and painted over with the right prep. We use stain-blocking primers to keep artwork or stains from bleeding through, and we’ll smooth out surface damage before painting. For deep gouges or structural wall damage, we may recommend light drywall repair first (which we can often include). Just send us photos of the area — we’ll let you know what’s needed and include the fix in your quote.

Yes — for interior jobs, we either wear clean shoe covers or remove our shoes based on your preference. We also lay down drop cloths and plastic to protect flooring, rugs, and hallways. If your home has no-shoe policies or special flooring, just let us know ahead of time. We respect your space and treat it like our own — that means no dirty boots on your carpet and no mess left behind.

Yes — power washing is included in all our exterior painting jobs. It’s a critical step that removes dirt, mildew, chalky old paint, and other surface contaminants. Without this prep, paint doesn’t adhere properly and won’t last nearly as long. We use professional-grade equipment to clean surfaces safely without damaging your stucco, siding, or trim. After washing, we allow proper drying time before we start priming or painting — so the finish sticks and holds up for years to come.

Yes — weather matters, especially for exterior work. We don’t paint in rain, extreme heat, or high humidity, because those conditions affect how paint adheres and dries. If the weather looks questionable near your scheduled date, we’ll reach out ahead of time and adjust your appointment. We always want to paint under the right conditions so your finish lasts longer, looks better, and doesn't peel or bubble. We’d rather push a job back by a day or two than rush something that won’t hold up. And don’t worry — if we have to reschedule due to weather, there’s no extra charge or penalty.

In most cases, yes — we can paint over wallpaper or murals, but only if the existing surface is in good condition and firmly attached. If the wallpaper is peeling, bubbling, or poorly installed, we usually recommend removing it first to avoid problems down the road. If painting over is the best option, we’ll clean the surface, apply a bonding primer, and use the right finish to make sure the new paint looks smooth and lasts. Keep in mind that the texture of the wallpaper may still show slightly through the paint. We’ll assess the condition during your quote and let you know the best approach for your walls.

Yes — we offer custom pricing for bundled jobs, especially for property managers, realtors, or homeowners who need multiple rooms, buildings, or addresses painted. If you're planning ahead for multiple projects, let us know — we’ll work out a fair rate based on total scope. We also love referrals. If you refer a friend, neighbor, or client who books with us, we’ll send you a referral bonus or discount on your next job. Just make sure they mention your name when they contact us, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Absolutely — and not just the bare minimum. We’re fully licensed in the State of California and carry top-tier general liability and workers’ comp insurance. That means your home, your property, and our crew are all protected every step of the way. A lot of painters will tell you they’re “covered” — but we actually carry professional-grade coverage from trusted carriers, and we’re happy to show proof upon request. Whether we’re working in your home, around kids or pets, or on ladders three stories up, you can feel confident knowing you’re in good hands with a fully qualified, fully insured painting crew.

Yes — if you already have paint on hand or a brand you prefer, we’re happy to use it. Just keep in mind: we can’t offer a workmanship warranty on jobs where materials are customer-supplied. That’s because the quality and coverage of each product varies, and we can’t guarantee results unless we know exactly what we’re working with. We usually recommend using premium brands like Sherwin-Williams or Dunn-Edwards, which we can provide at contractor pricing. But if you’ve already purchased your paint or are matching an existing color, that’s totally fine — just let us know the details when you book.

Yes — we paint wrought iron, steel, aluminum, and other metal surfaces, including railings, gates, garage doors, and exterior vents. The key is proper prep: we remove rust or flaking paint, clean thoroughly, and apply a bonding primer designed for metal before painting. We use enamel or oil-modified acrylics for long-lasting durability. If your metal is severely rusted or structurally compromised, we’ll flag that during the quote and offer repair suggestions before we begin.

Yes — we can paint over walls where wallpaper was recently removed, but the surface needs to be properly cleaned, sanded, and primed first. Old glue residue or uneven texture will show through paint unless we prep it right. If you’ve already removed the wallpaper, we’ll assess the surface and determine if light skim coating is needed before priming. If the wallpaper is still on, we can either remove it or refer you to a removal specialist. In either case, we’ll make sure the final surface looks smooth and clean before painting.

Yes — we paint walk-in closets, reach-ins, built-in shelving, and the interiors of cabinets upon request. These areas are often skipped by other painters, but we’re happy to include them if you want a full, clean look. Just let us know ahead of time so we can include the extra labor and materials in your quote. If closets are packed or need clearing, we’ll give you simple prep instructions. For cabinet interiors, we’ll mask off the area carefully and use fine-finish tools to avoid overspray or drips on shelves.

Yes — we often paint cabinets in place to save time and avoid the need for full disassembly. We use careful masking, dust control, and fine-finish tools to get a factory-smooth look on doors, frames, and drawer fronts — all without removing everything from your home. In some cases, we’ll remove doors and drawers to spray them off-site, depending on space and ventilation. Either way, we’ll walk you through the process during your quote so you know what prep is needed and how long the project will take. We also offer hardware upgrades or reinstallations if you’re looking for a full refresh.

Yes — we’re used to working alongside other trades on remodels, flips, or big projects. If you have flooring, cabinetry, plumbing, or HVAC work happening before or after us, just tell us your timeline and we’ll help coordinate our part of the job. We can shift start dates, adjust the order of rooms, or phase out the work to stay out of the way and keep your project on schedule. Clear communication is key — and we’re happy to work with your GC, property manager, or subcontractors to make the job smooth.

We use dust-control tools, sealed work zones, and protective coverings to minimize dust during sanding or scraping. For interior work, we tape off doors and vents, use vacuum-attached sanders, and lay down heavy-duty plastic to keep your home clean. If you have pets, allergies, or young kids, let us know — we’ll take extra precautions. And after the job, we wipe down floors and surfaces, vacuum where needed, and leave no mess behind. You’ll never be stuck cleaning up construction dust after we’re gone.

We take overspray seriously and use professional masking, drop cloths, and covers to protect windows, plants, walkways, light fixtures, and anything else near the paint area. On exteriors, we tape off glass, cover landscaping with breathable mesh or tarps, and use low-pressure spray settings to minimize airborne mist. If there’s wind, we’ll pause the job or adjust our method to avoid drift. In the rare case something does get a light misting, we clean it right away — no excuses. Our goal is a flawless finish with zero cleanup left for you.

We’ve worked in many shared-wall buildings and understand the extra care needed. We’re mindful of noise, ventilation, and property boundaries. If we’re working on a shared exterior or wall that belongs to an HOA, we’ll confirm in writing which parts we’re allowed to paint. For interiors, we take extra care to protect your neighbor’s space from noise or overspray — especially if there’s no insulation between units. Let us know any building rules, quiet hours, or elevator policies, and we’ll plan around them.

Yes — we offer low-VOC and zero-VOC paint options for clients who are sensitive to paint smells, have kids or pets at home, or just want a cleaner, healthier finish. These paints are designed to reduce indoor air pollution while still providing excellent coverage and durability. We’ll recommend the right product based on the space you're painting (bedrooms, nurseries, kitchens, etc.), and we only use reputable brands that balance performance with safety. If you have a specific product in mind, let us know — we’re happy to work with it or suggest an equivalent.

If you want to add something to the scope after we’ve started — like an extra wall, ceiling fan trim, or new door — just let us know as early as possible. We’ll review the request, confirm the pricing, and give you a written update so everything stays clear. We understand that plans change mid-project, and we’re flexible. We just want to make sure we adjust the schedule and materials properly so your project still finishes on time and looks cohesive.

If the wind or dust is high, we’ll pause the job or adjust our process to protect your home and get the best finish. Wind can carry dust onto wet paint or cause overspray to drift — which affects both quality and cleanup. If it’s not safe or smart to paint, we’ll reschedule at no extra cost and keep you updated. We plan around weather daily and always prioritize doing the job right over rushing to get it done. You’ll never be left guessing — if something changes, we’ll call or text you with next steps.

Yes — we paint ceilings, baseboards, crown molding, door frames, window trim, and other detail work. We include baseboards and trim in most interior quotes by default unless you ask us to leave them out. Ceilings are often painted in flat white for a clean, even look, but we can do any finish or color you want. We’re careful to mask everything properly, use the right rollers and brushes for crisp lines, and make sure every edge looks intentional and sharp — not rushed or sloppy.

Absolutely. In fact, it’s often more efficient — and more cost-effective — to bundle multiple areas into one job. Whether you're painting a couple of bedrooms, your whole downstairs, or both the interior and exterior of your home, we’ll group it all into one clear estimate so you can see the total cost upfront. You can also add areas as you go. A lot of clients start with one room and end up adding more once they see the quality of our work — and we’re happy to adjust the schedule and quote as needed. Just let us know what you're considering and we’ll map out your best options, whether it's one space or your whole house.

Yes — we handle drywall repairs as part of most painting jobs. That includes small holes, nail pops, minor cracks, and surface blemishes. These are usually included in your quote at no extra charge. If you have larger damage — like water stains, sagging areas, or sections that need to be replaced — we’ll assess it during the estimate and let you know the plan. We’ll make sure the surface is smooth, sealed, and properly primed before we paint so everything looks like new when we’re done.

Yes — and we know exactly what you’re looking for. Realtors and property investors love working with us because we’re fast, dependable, and make properties show-ready without dragging things out. Whether it’s a flip, a rental turnover, or a listing that needs to pop in photos, we’re your go-to crew. We offer tight scheduling, flexible pricing, and a clean finish that makes a property look fresh and cared-for — without overdoing it or wasting budget. Need one color throughout? Done. Just walls? No problem. Want baseboards and cabinets too? We’ll knock it out. We’ve done dozens of “get it market-ready” jobs and know what sells — and how to make it shine with minimal delays. You can text us photos, get an instant quote, and even schedule remotely if you’re managing things from out of state. We’ll walk the job when it’s done and send you updates with photos if needed. This is why a lot of our investor clients keep us on speed dial.

Yes — we understand that noise can be an issue, especially in apartments, shared buildings, or homes with young children. If you need us to start early, later in the day, or during specific time windows, just let us know when you book your quote. We’ll do our best to accommodate quiet hours, HOA rules, or neighbor concerns. We can also adjust the order of tasks — for example, doing prep work early and saving noisy equipment (like sanding or spraying) for approved hours. Flexibility is part of what we offer.

Once you receive your quote by text or email, all you have to do is reply “approved”, and we’ll confirm your job, lock in your start date, and send you a prep checklist if needed. You’ll also receive your job details in writing so everything is clear — no guesswork. Prefer a phone call? No problem. Just call or text and we’ll go over the quote together. We keep booking easy, fast, and hassle-free so you can check painting off your list and move on with your day.

Yes — if you're not sure which shade of white is the right shade of white, you're not alone. We offer basic color guidance for free, and for more in-depth support, we can connect you with a professional color consultant who works with our team. We’ll take into account lighting, finishes, furniture, and your overall vision. Whether you want something timeless, bold, or just "not beige," we’ll help you pick a palette that looks great now and ages well later. And if you’ve already chosen your colors, just send us the codes or samples — we’ll take it from there.

Yes — we can remove and reinstall baseboards or trim, and we can also replace damaged or outdated trim during your painting project. A fresh coat of paint looks even better when paired with new, clean lines — so many homeowners choose to update their trim at the same time. We’ll include labor for basic removal, replacement, and painting in your quote if requested. For custom profiles or larger trim packages, we may refer you to one of our trusted carpentry partners. Just let us know during the estimate, and we’ll make sure it’s factored into the job plan.

Yes — we offer free touch-ups within 30 days of your completed project if anything peels, flakes, or doesn’t settle right. This rarely happens, but if it does, just send us a photo and we’ll come out to fix it. If it’s been longer than 30 days or the damage was caused by external factors (like water leaks, furniture scrapes, or pet damage), we can still help — just let us know and we’ll quote a quick, affordable fix. Our priority is making sure your paint holds up and looks great, even after we’ve packed up and left.

Yes — just let us know at least 24 hours before your scheduled start date, and we can update your job details with the new color(s). If we’ve already purchased paint for your project, we’ll do our best to exchange it, but there may be a small restocking or tinting fee depending on the supplier. We understand that color decisions sometimes change once you’ve had time to think it over or see a sample on the wall. We’re flexible — and we’d rather you love the finished result than feel rushed to stick with a choice you’re not sure about.

Yes — we don’t believe any job is too small. Whether it's a few scuffs on a hallway, an accent wall in a bedroom, or a ceiling that needs refreshing, we’re happy to help. In fact, a lot of our repeat clients first hired us for a small touch-up — and came back later for the full house. Our quotes are transparent, even for small jobs. If it’s just a one-hour fix, we’ll price it fairly and let you know upfront. No pressure, no upsell — just quality work, even on the little stuff.

Yes — we work closely with trusted local paint suppliers like Sherwin-Williams, Dunn-Edwards, and Benjamin Moore. These partnerships allow us to get reliable product availability, custom color matching, and professional support for every type of project. If you already have a preferred brand or a store you want us to use, just let us know. We’re happy to source products that align with your preferences or past paint history.

It depends on the condition and your goals. If the quarter-round is in good shape, we usually recommend painting it to match the baseboards for a clean, finished look. It’s a simple, cost-effective update that makes a big visual difference. If the trim is damaged, loose, or outdated, replacing it might make more sense. We can remove and reinstall it or refer you to a trim specialist. During your quote, we’ll inspect it and let you know which option is best based on your flooring and design.

Prep is everything — and we take it seriously. Before we even open a paint can, we’ll inspect your surfaces, fill small holes or cracks, sand where needed, caulk joints, clean dirty walls, and mask off areas like floors, outlets, light fixtures, and furniture. For exterior work, we power wash and scrape any loose paint. For interiors, we make sure furniture is covered, flooring is protected, and edges are clean and straight. Our crew is trained to prep the right way — not rush it. That’s how you get sharp lines, smooth finishes, and long-lasting results that don’t peel or bubble months later.

It depends on the job. In many cases, trim and baseboards are included in the quote if they’re part of a full interior repaint. If you only want trim or baseboards done (without the walls), or if the design is more detailed — like crown molding or multiple coats — we’ll break it out separately in your estimate. We always give you a clear, itemized quote so there are no surprises. If you’re not sure what should be included, just send us photos and we’ll walk you through it line by line.

We treat every home with care — but in the rare case that something goes wrong, we take full responsibility. We’re fully insured for both general liability and workers’ comp, so you’re covered no matter what. If there’s ever an issue — a spill, a scratch, a scuffed floor — we’ll fix it or replace it right away. You won’t have to chase us down or deal with excuses. Our goal is to leave your space looking better than it did when we arrived, and to make any problem right without delay.

Yes — if you have a target date or time frame, just let us know when requesting your quote. We’ll do our best to lock in your preferred date and will always confirm your start date in writing once you're booked. We’re flexible with move-in/move-out schedules, remodel timelines, or tight turnarounds (like prepping for a sale or showing). The sooner you reach out, the better chance we have of giving you your ideal spot — especially during spring and fall, when schedules fill up fast.

Yes — we offer basic garage floor painting and light-duty epoxy coatings, which are great for giving your garage a clean, finished look. We’ll start by degreasing and prepping the surface, then apply the right product for your needs — whether that’s a simple concrete sealer or a full flake epoxy. We don’t offer industrial/commercial epoxy or polished concrete services, but for standard residential use, we can help you get a durable, easy-to-clean garage floor that looks sharp and holds up well. Ask for a quote and we’ll walk you through your options.

If we run low or need more paint mid-job, we handle it at no extra cost to you (unless there's a change in scope). We keep detailed logs of how much paint we use per room, and we always plan for overage — but if something unexpected comes up, we’ll pick up more and finish the job without delay. You won’t be asked to make paint runs or cover mistakes — that’s our responsibility. If your color is a custom blend or older batch, we’ll match it carefully so everything stays consistent.

Yes — in fact, most of our quotes are done virtually. Just text or email us a few clear photos or a quick video of the space, and we can usually send back a firm quote within seconds or minutes, not days. No need to block off time for an in-person visit unless the job really calls for it. For more complex projects, we might ask a few follow-up questions — like ceiling height, square footage, or special prep needs — but we’ll guide you through what to show us. It’s quick, it’s easy, and you’ll get an accurate price without waiting around or playing phone tag.

Easy — just call, text, or email us. Most homeowners text us pictures or a short video walkthrough of the space. That helps us give you an accurate quote almost instantly, often within seconds. Seriously. We're that quick. You don’t have to wait for an estimator to visit or sit on hold. Just send us what you can, and a real person on our team will review it and reply — often with a price and available schedule right away. Need help filming or don’t know what to include? Just call, and we’ll guide you step by step.

Yes — every quote we send includes a written breakdown of what’s included, the paint we’ll use, surfaces being painted, the timeline, and the total cost. We’ll email or text it to you for easy reference, and if anything changes, we update it before the job starts. This isn’t a vague “ballpark” — we’re specific about what’s covered and what’s not so there are no surprises. You’ll know exactly what you’re getting, when we’re coming, and how long it’ll take.

Yes — we offer financing options for larger jobs through trusted third-party partners. Whether you're painting an entire house, upgrading cabinets, or adding extra work during a project, we can help you spread out the cost in a way that fits your budget. Financing approval is typically fast and easy, and there’s no pressure to use it. Just ask us about it when you request your quote, and we’ll walk you through the available options. If you already have a personal financing method, like a credit card with rewards or 0% APR, we’re happy to accept that too.

Yes — we offer professional cabinet painting and refinishing for kitchens, bathrooms, built-ins, and vanities. It’s a great way to update your space without the cost of full cabinet replacement. We remove doors and drawers, prep surfaces thoroughly (cleaning, sanding, and priming), and use durable, furniture-grade paints or lacquers for a smooth, long-lasting finish. You can choose modern white, bold colors, or rich neutrals — whatever matches your vision. We can even install new hardware if you’d like a full refresh.

Yes — we use low-impact, biodegradable cleaners and zero-VOC paints whenever possible, especially for indoor cleanup. We also minimize waste by reusing materials, recycling empty paint cans, and properly disposing of any hazardous leftovers. If you have specific environmental concerns or allergies, let us know — we’ll make sure to select products that align with your values and keep your home clean and safe.

Yes — we stand behind our work and offer a written workmanship guarantee on all exterior paint jobs. If your paint peels, blisters, or fails due to improper prep or application within the covered period, we’ll come back and make it right at no cost to you. The specific warranty timeframe depends on the paint product used, surface condition, and environmental exposure. We only use high-quality, name-brand paints designed for our local climate, and we follow manufacturer prep guidelines carefully. If long-term durability is a concern, let us know — we’ll walk you through the best options for your home and budget.

Yes — we’re really good at color matching, even if you don’t know the brand or code. We can take a paint chip, a piece of trim, or even a well-lit photo and match it to a modern equivalent using our supplier’s tools. If your paint has faded over time (which happens with sun exposure, especially on exteriors), we’ll match the current appearance, not just the original color. Our goal is to blend the new paint seamlessly with the old so no one can tell where the work started or stopped.

We use professional-grade tools and trusted paint brands like Sherwin-Williams, Dunn-Edwards, and Benjamin Moore — depending on what works best for your project. Our brushes, rollers, and sprayers are designed for high-quality results and clean lines, not DIY shortcuts. If you have a preferred brand or product line, let us know — we’re happy to use what you trust. We also stay up to date on the latest paint tech, from low-VOC formulas to specialty primers, so we can recommend the best fit for your surface and situation.

We use low- or zero-VOC paints by default for most indoor work, especially in bedrooms, nurseries, kitchens, or homes with pets or sensitive individuals. These paints produce very little odor and dry faster with less off-gassing. We also ventilate properly while working — windows open, fans on, doors taped off when needed — and we’ll let you know if any areas need extra airing out before use. If you have asthma or allergies, just let us know. We’ll recommend the cleanest options available and schedule the job to keep your space comfortable and safe.

Yes — we specialize in stucco painting and repair throughout Orange County. Stucco requires the right prep, primers, and breathable coatings to ensure the paint bonds properly and doesn’t trap moisture inside the walls. We use products specifically designed for sun-exposed, coastal climates to prevent cracking, fading, or peeling. We also inspect for any cracks or damage in the stucco before we start. Small cracks are patched and sealed as part of prep. For larger repairs, we’ll let you know during the quote and include options to fix them properly. Whether your home is smooth, sand-finished, or heavily textured, we’ve got the tools and experience to get a clean, long-lasting result.

Yes — we offer seasonal and annual maintenance plans for clients who want to keep their home, fence, or outdoor trim looking sharp year-round. This is especially helpful for exterior touch-ups, fence re-stains, or refreshing high-traffic areas indoors (like kitchens or hallways). We’ll create a custom plan based on your home and budget — from once a year to every few months. You’ll get preferred scheduling, consistent results, and a home that always looks well cared-for. Let us know if you'd like to set something up or get a reminder before each season.

Yes — we work with HOAs, condo owners, apartment managers, and multi-unit properties all across Orange County. We understand the extra steps that come with these jobs, like HOA color approvals, quiet hours, shared walls, tight parking, and limited access. We’ll make sure the job is done smoothly, cleanly, and without disrupting your neighbors or tenants. If you need help submitting colors, scheduling around move-outs, or coordinating with a property manager, we’ve got you covered. We’re used to handling multi-phase painting projects and working with tight turnarounds. Whether it’s one unit or twenty, we bring the same level of care and professionalism from prep to final walkthrough.

The fastest way to get started is to text or email us a few photos or a short video of the space you want painted. Tell us what you’d like done, and we can usually send back a firm quote within seconds to minutes. If needed, we can also schedule a quick in-person visit. You can also call us if you prefer to talk it through — we’re happy to walk you step-by-step. Once you approve the quote, we’ll book your start date and handle the rest. No stress

Yes, we offer limited weekend and after-hours appointments, especially for projects that need to be done fast or worked around your schedule. These spots fill quickly, so we recommend booking early if you need a non-standard time slot. There is a small convenience fee for nights or weekends — mostly to cover our crew’s availability — but many homeowners and business owners find it worth it to avoid disruption during the week. Just let us know what times you’re working with, and we’ll do our best to accommodate.

Yes — we can paint certain types of tile, including ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone backsplashes, but it depends on the condition and location. Tile painting works best in low-moisture areas like laundry rooms, dry kitchen walls, or decorative backsplashes — not inside showers or tubs where constant water exposure can break down the finish. We use specialized primers and durable topcoats made for glossy or slick surfaces. Keep in mind: this is more of a cosmetic upgrade than a forever fix. If you want to refresh the look for staging, rentals, or a budget makeover, it’s a great option. We’ll evaluate your tile and let you know if it’s a good candidate.

We handle minor surface repairs, like patching small wood rot, filling soft spots, and replacing basic trim boards. If it’s something small — like a damaged fascia board or weathered window sill — we can usually take care of it as part of prep. If we discover deeper structural issues (like framing damage or widespread rot), we’ll stop and let you know. In those cases, we may refer you to a licensed carpenter or contractor first. Our goal is always to paint over solid, safe surfaces — not to patch over problems that will come back later.

Yes — we offer a range of decorative and specialty finishes, including faux textures, sponge or rag rolling, metallic sheens, and custom accent techniques. These are a great way to create a high-end look in spaces like dining rooms, feature walls, or offices. Because these techniques are more time-intensive and require specific materials, they’re quoted separately based on the design and surface size. If you have a finish or inspiration photo in mind, send it to us! We’ll let you know what’s possible, how long it will take, and how to get the look you want.

Not always. In fact, many of our clients request quotes without meeting in person. If it’s an exterior job, we can often do a drive-by estimate or use photos you send us by text or email. For interior work, you can walk us through the space by video or send pictures — we’ll guide you on exactly what to show. If the project is more complex or involves custom finishes, high ceilings, or special prep, we might recommend an in-person visit — but we’ll always work around your schedule. You don’t need to take a day off or wait around all afternoon. We make the process fast and easy, whether you’re at home or not.

We use precise color tracking, labeling, and sealed storage to keep paint consistent throughout multi-day jobs. Every paint can is labeled with your color, room name, and batch details. If a project is paused overnight or split into sections, we shake and remix all paint before restarting to avoid any shade variation. We also use the same tools and techniques throughout the job to keep textures and finishes consistent. If you're doing a phased remodel or adding to a job midway, just let us know — we’ll make sure new areas blend seamlessly with previously painted ones.

Yes — we’re proud of the homes we’ve painted. We can send photos of recent projects by text or email, or you can view our online gallery. Want to see a color in real life? We may even be able to show you a home in your area with the same finish. We’ve painted everything from clean, modern interiors to complex multi-surface exteriors, and we’re happy to show you our work so you can feel confident in the quality and attention to detail we deliver on every job.

Yes — we leave behind any usable leftover paint so you can handle future touch-ups. We’ll label the cans with the room, color name, and finish so you know exactly what’s what. If there's a small amount left, we’ll pour it into a smaller container for easier storage. If you prefer that we dispose of extras instead, just let us know and we’ll recycle them properly according to local guidelines.

We serve most of Orange County, CA, including but not limited to: Irvine, Santa Ana, Tustin, Mission Viejo, Lake Forest, Orange, Costa Mesa, and Anaheim. If you're nearby and unsure, just reach out — we’ll let you know if we cover your area (chances are we do). Many of our clients find us because they’ve seen our work in the neighborhood or got referred by a local friend. Whether you’re in a quiet cul-de-sac or a downtown condo, we’re used to working around HOA rules, neighbors, and tight driveways.

We work in many homes with pets, kids, and sensitive family schedules — so we plan ahead. Let us know if you have indoor pets, nap schedules, or areas to avoid, and we’ll adjust our setup to fit your routine. We close gates, tape off rooms, and never leave tools or materials where children or animals could get into them. If your pet is nervous around strangers or equipment, we’ll work in sections to reduce stress. Clear communication goes a long way, and we’ll always respect your space and rules.

We don’t guarantee specific crew assignments, but you’re always welcome to request someone you’ve worked with before — and we’ll do our best to accommodate it based on the schedule. Everyone on our team is trained to meet the same high standards, and we track quality across every job. If you have a concern or want extra oversight, we can assign a lead technician or schedule a supervisor check-in during the job. Our focus is on making sure you feel comfortable, heard, and confident in the result — no matter who’s on-site.

Painting multi-story homes or tall staircases requires extra care, planning, and the right equipment. We use extension ladders, scaffolding, and professional drop cloths to safely reach high ceilings, stairwells, and second-story walls without risking damage to your home. We take special precautions in tight or awkward areas, and we always cover handrails, floors, and fixtures to protect everything below. If your staircase has high walls or vaulted ceilings, we may recommend breaking the job into phases for safety and drying time. Either way, we’ll give you a detailed plan and timeline before we begin so you know exactly what to expect.

We can paint over popcorn ceilings if the texture is in good shape. However, if you want it removed, we don’t handle that in-house — but we can refer you to a licensed local contractor who does. Once it’s removed and prepped, we’ll come in to paint the fresh ceiling and give it a clean, updated look. If you're not ready for full removal, painting over popcorn is a cost-effective way to brighten the ceiling and reduce yellowing. We use the right rollers and techniques to get even coverage without damaging the texture. For papier-mâché or art surfaces, reach out with photos — we’ll let you know what’s possible.

Yes — we offer fence and deck staining or sealing using weather-resistant products that hold up to sun, moisture, and everyday wear. We handle all the prep, including cleaning, sanding (if needed), and applying the right number of coats based on the wood type and condition. Whether it’s a brand new fence that needs protection or an older deck that needs to be brought back to life, we’ve got the right tools and experience. You can choose clear sealers, natural wood tones, or rich stains — and we’ll help you pick something that complements your property and lasts longer outdoors.

Yes — we stand by our work, and that includes one free touch-up visit within 30 days of completing your project. Sometimes paint settles, shifts, or a small area might get nicked while moving furniture back — no problem. Just reach out and we’ll schedule a time to come fix it. For clients who want ongoing maintenance (like exterior touch-ups once a year), we also offer scheduled repaint plans. Ask us if that’s something you’re interested in — it’s a great option for rentals, vacation homes, or just keeping your house looking its best all year long.

Nope — quotes are always 100% free. Whether it’s a quick text estimate or a more detailed written quote for your HOA or realtor, we never charge to tell you what something costs. We believe getting a painting estimate shouldn’t feel like a commitment or a hassle. You’ll get a clear breakdown of what’s included, when we can start, and what to expect — all with zero pressure to book.

If you can, it helps to remove small items, wall hangings, fragile decor, and anything of personal value before we arrive. For larger furniture, like sofas or beds, we can work around them or carefully move them if needed. We’ll cover all floors, fixtures, furniture, and nearby surfaces with clean drop cloths or plastic sheeting. You don’t need to prep walls or clean anything — just make sure we can access the area easily. If you’re unsure how to prep, give us a call and we’ll walk you through it.

It depends on the season, but most of the time, we can schedule your project within 1 to 2 weeks of your quote approval. During busy months (like spring and early fall), we recommend booking a little sooner to lock in your spot. That said, we do keep a few flexible slots open each week for quick-turnaround jobs, urgent requests, or clients working with tight timelines — like listings, move-outs, or rentals. Just reach out and let us know what you need — we’ll find a way to make it work if we can.

We’re extra careful around plants, flowers, mulch, and garden beds. Before we start exterior work, we cover nearby landscaping with breathable drop cloths or mesh, tape off any hard edges, and move light items (like planters or hoses) out of the way. We avoid spraying on windy days and always clean up leaves or debris afterward. If there’s a sensitive area (like a vegetable garden or delicate flowers), just let us know — we’ll adjust our approach to protect your space.

Absolutely. We treat every home like it’s our own — and that means no paint cans left behind, no dusty floors, no tape on your light switches. Every day we’re on the job, we clean as we go. At the end of the project, we do a final cleanup and walkthrough to make sure your home looks better than when we arrived. Trash, drop cloths, tape, plastic — all removed. Any paint left over? We’ll label it and leave it behind neatly in case you want it for future touch-ups. You won’t be left with a mess, ever.
