FAQ

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 — 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.

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.

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.

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 — 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 — 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.

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.

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.

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.

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’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.

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 — 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 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.

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’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.

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 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 — 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 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.

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 — 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 — 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 — 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.

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 — 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.

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
