Answer: We generally work Monday through Saturday, 8AM – 5PM. But we understand that each person and HOA schedule is unique and we pride ourselves on the flexibility to accommodate ones schedule

Answer: On exterior projects, there are several tasks that can be performed in light rain or fog, such as power washing, scraping and caulking. However, we cannot apply sealants, primer or paint in wet weather. In these instances, we must wait for the surface to dry out to ensure the coatings we apply leave you with a quality, and dependable finish.

Answer: We do our very best to minimize the disruption to your everyday life, and get out of there as quickly as possible. We understand the inconvenience it’s causing you, with your furniture moved, drop cloths, and plastic hanging all over. We have a motto, “Always leave a job site better than you found it.” We’re fanatics about cleaning up after ourselves everyday we’re on site, and especially when we’re all done. We want you to start enjoying your newly transformed space right away.

Answer: Yes, we can match colors! With today’s computer matching technology, it’s easy to get an almost exact match. It’s helpful if we have an old paint can, or the paint color from the manufacturer. If we don’t, our options are to get a small piece to take to the paint store for a custom match, or pick a color from a fan deck that is very close. Colors may look different in different lighting, and surrounded by different things like carpeting or countertops – so we encourage that a color sample be applied to see how it will look in your space.

Answer: For interior painting, we will generally need to know what your choices are the day we start. For exterior painting, if we have a lot of prep work then you can decide even slightly after we get started. For interior painting, when we are doing prep work, we can put some sample colors on the wall for you to see how they look in real life as well.

Answer: Absolutely. Color is by and large a very personal decision, and sometimes color can be very subjective. What we might like, might not be your taste, and vice versa. But we’re very experienced in helping guide our customers to the right family of colors and thinking through all the factors that can change how this color might look like after it’s applied. Things like lighting, flooring, cabinets, and furniture can all effect that color and how it looks in your home.

Answer: YES – EPA’s Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule (RRP Rule) requires that firms performing renovation, repair, and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities and pre-schools built before 1978 have their firm certified by the EPA (or an EPA authorized state). You should only use certified painting contractors who are trained by EPA-approved training providers and follow lead-safe work practices.

Answer: A fully encapsulated house poses no threat, but once the paint starts to deteriorate, the risk of lead dust is probable. If the house is showing signs of paint failure, such as peeling and blistering, then the paint may very likely be releasing lead dust. If we are painting a house and disturb any lead paint, we are required by law to follow all EPA RRP and OSHA rules.

Answer: It’s very simple for us to check and we always do. We use a 3M lead check swab, we rub it on surface and if swab turns red, there’s lead. If you have specific questions about lead paint the EPA maintains a phone number you can call to ask questions: 1-800-424-LEAD

Answer: Lead paint is not a joke. Amongst a variety of other symptoms, it causes learning disabilities in children, digestive problems, impotence, irritability, lethargy, hyperactivity and insomnia, headaches, and in extreme cases it can result in seizures, coma and even death. Children are particularly at risk for lead poisoning by ingestion because of their small size, their tendency to put things in their mouth, and the fact that lead dust has a slightly sweet taste to it, so they tend to return to it if they know where to find it. The EPA, OSHA and DHS all have regulations covering responsible practices for contractors who disturb lead paint, and we follow them strictly. You might find a contractor willing to “bend the rules” to save you some money and you can hire them at your own risk. We don’t play that game.

Answer: Yes, we leave the leftover paints, properly labeled, along with a color schedule for each surface that was painted.
