Four reasons
the paint still looks new
at year five.
Surface prep is the job
Most paint failures aren't the paint — they're prep failures. Painting over peeling exterior, dirty surfaces, or unpatched drywall holes. Day one of every job is prep day: scrape, sand, patch, prime, mask, drop-cloth. We don't open a can of paint until prep is done. The paint is the easy part.
Premium paint, two coats minimum
Sherwin-Williams Emerald, Cashmere, Resilience exterior. Benjamin Moore Aura, Regal Select. We don't push the contractor-grade discount paint that "covers in one coat" because it doesn't — and it fails in two years. Premium paint plus two coats is what hits the five-year warranty mark.
Cut-in by hand, not taped
Watch a pro painter cut a clean line between wall and ceiling without painter's tape — that's craft. Tape leaves a ridge of paint. Hand cut-in by a brush in the right hand makes a cleaner line every time. All of our painters cut by hand. The senior painters can do it with a 4-inch brush and no tape on the ceiling.
Color-card delivered with the keys
At final walkthrough we hand you a touch-up bag — every color we used, paint name and code, in a small jar. So when you scuff a wall in year three you can do a 5-minute touch-up instead of repainting the whole room. Most customers tell us this is the part they didn't know they wanted but now can't imagine doing without.
