We use Benjamin Moore exclusively. Regal Select for most rooms and Aura for kitchens and bathrooms where extra durability and moisture resistance matter. These paints provide better coverage, richer color, and longer-lasting results than builder-grade alternatives.

Yes. We move all furniture to the center of each room and cover it with protective cloths. Heavy items like pianos or wall units are moved with extra care. Floors are fully protected with drop cloths and plastic sheeting.
How do you handle wall damage and repairs?
Every project includes filling nail holes, sanding rough spots, and fixing minor cracks. For larger issues like water damage, significant drywall damage, or textured surfaces, we provide a separate repair estimate before painting begins.
Do I need to prime before painting?
Not always, but often yes. We prime when painting over dark colors, new drywall, stains, or patched areas. Primer ensures even color coverage and better adhesion. We use the right primer for each situation so you get the best results.
