FAQs
We ask that you remove furniture in the room when possible. If that is not possible, we will place tarps over the furniture to protect it. Please remove all wall hangings so that all walls are bare and ready for our arrival. And lastly, please make sure there is a clear path for our painters with no obstacles.
There’s really no way to tell just by looking at it. You can have a painter come in and assess the situation or purchase a lab test from your local hardware store to find out. In general, if your house was built before 1978, chances are it has lead paint in it.
Latex paints are more environmentally friendly than oil-based paints, which often give off fumes. Latex primers and finishes have come a long way over the years and are very durable. For example, a latex finish on an exterior painting job will last for many years and remain elastic, whereas oil-based paint dries to a hard and brittle film. Latex paint will move with the surface as it expands and contracts with weather.
Yes we are. We are a lead-safe certified firm by the EPA, which means we are certified and qualified to provide lead abatement services.
Interior paint gets dirty in many different ways, from hand prints around switches and knobs to splashes in kitchens and bathrooms. There are also chances for dirt when it comes to marks on hallways and corridors or when soot accumulates above electric lamps and other heat sources. When you remove dirt before it accumulates, this not only improves appearance, it reduces the risk of the dirt getting permanently embedded in the paint.
