Questions, answered plainly.

It depends on the surface, the prep it needs and the product, so every job gets a flat price in writing after a free walkthrough. The ballpark estimator on the home page gives a range from your own numbers. There is no hourly billing and the price does not change unless you add to the scope.

Exterior paint and stain need the surface dry and nights above roughly 40 degrees, which up here means June through September, sometimes a little either side. We book exteriors early in the year and do prep in the shoulder weeks so the painting days are not wasted. Interiors run all year.

Almost always the prep. Paint over chalky, unwashed or unprimed wood has nothing to hold on to, and a mountain winter finds every weak spot. We wash, scrape, sand, prime every bare spot and caulk the gaps before the first coat goes on, and we use products rated for the elevation and the sun.

A typical interior room is a day, a whole-house interior about a week, and a single-family exterior one to two weeks depending on the prep and the weather. We tell you the schedule in the written price and let you know the day before if weather moves it.

No. We move furniture to the middle of the room, cover it and the floors, and put it back. Take down anything fragile or personal from the walls and we handle the rest.

Yes. We bring real samples, put them on your wall and look at them in your light at different times of day. For exteriors we also check what the HOA allows before anything goes on the house.

We walk every job with you at the end and touch up anything you point at before we leave. If something shows up later, call and we come back.

We are based in Summit County, Colorado and paint in Breckenridge, Frisco, Silverthorne, Dillon, Keystone, Copper Mountain and Blue River. We take bigger jobs in Leadville, Fairplay, Vail and Georgetown. If you are a little farther, ask; for a whole exterior we travel.

Yes. Log and timber get washed or media blasted, treated where they need it, and finished with a breathable stain rated for the elevation. Stained siding, decks and fences run from transparent to solid, and we show you the difference on a sample first.

Yes. Doors and drawer fronts come off and are sprayed for a factory finish, the boxes are done in place, and the schedule is in the written price so you know how long the kitchen is out of action.

Yes. Whole buildings or phased rows, with a written scope, photos, one point of contact and a sign-off walk, scheduled around tenants, guests and the season. We keep a color record so next year's phase matches.
