Written scope

Same crew throughout
What's included
Prep is most of the work and none of the product.
A paint quote is really a prep quote. What separates a finish that looks new from one that looks painted-over happens before the first coat.
Preparation
- Masking and floor protection
- Filling and sanding
- Caulking gaps at trim
- Spot-priming every patch
- Full prime on new or repaired board
The line item worth comparing between quotes.
Paint
- Walls, ceilings and trim
- Doors and millwork sprayed where maskable
- Cabinet refinishing
- Colour matching and sheen advice
What it costs
What moves the number.
Typical range
Ask for a figure
We publish real numbers rather than "it depends" — but only once they're ours to publish. Our written ranges are being finalised; call and we'll give you one over the phone in a minute. What moves the number:
- Area, ceiling height and number of rooms
- Condition of the existing walls — cracks, patches and previous bad repairs
- Popcorn removal, and whether testing is needed first
- How much trim, and how many doors
- Colour change severity — dark to light can need an extra coat
- Whether cabinets or millwork are sprayed

Questions
Questions, answered.
How much does prep actually matter?
It is the job. Filling, sanding, caulking gaps and priming patches is most of the labour in a good paint job and none of the visible product. Two quotes that both say 'two coats' can be completely different pieces of work.
Can you remove popcorn ceilings?
Yes. The room is masked and sheeted, the texture is scraped, then the ceiling is skimmed, sanded and painted — the skim coat is what separates a flat ceiling from a patchy one. Note that texture in homes from roughly the late 1980s or earlier can contain asbestos; where age suggests it, it gets tested before anything is scraped, and if positive it goes to a licensed abatement contractor, not to us.
Do you spray or brush and roll?
Depends on the surface. Walls and ceilings are cut and rolled. Cabinets, doors and trim are sprayed where we can mask properly, because a sprayed finish on millwork is visibly different from a brushed one.
How long does a repaint take?
A typical main floor is three to five working days including prep. Cabinet spraying adds several days, most of it drying between coats rather than working.
