How do you prep a house before painting?+
Prep is where the final result is won or lost. We wash or scrape surfaces as needed, handle caulking around trim and gaps, patch any drywall issues, and apply primer where bare wood or repairs need it. Drop cloths go down before any paint is opened, and we protect landscaping and walkways along the way.
Do you match existing paint colors or help pick new ones?+
Yes, color matching is something we do regularly, whether it is touching up a single wall or matching trim on an older home in Nashville or Franklin. If you are choosing something new, we can talk through sheen options and how different finishes hold up in kitchens, bathrooms, or exterior siding.
How many coats of paint will my project need?+
Most interior and exterior jobs get two coats over a properly primed surface, which is what gives you even coverage and color that holds up over time. Some repairs or color changes from dark to light may need extra attention in specific spots, and we will walk you through that before starting.
Can you paint cabinets without replacing them?+
Cabinet painting is one of our regular services and a good way to update a kitchen without a full remodel. We remove doors and hardware, prep and prime the surfaces properly, and spray or brush clean, even coats depending on the cabinet style and sheen you want.
Is it safe to paint an older home that might have lead paint?+
We follow lead-safe work practices when painting older homes, which is common in established neighborhoods around Nashville, Brentwood, and Murfreesboro. If your home was built before 1978, mention that upfront so we can plan the prep and containment accordingly.
How do you handle scheduling and staying on track?+
We plan out the scope of work with you before starting so you know what to expect day to day. Weather can shift exterior painting timelines, but for interior work and most projects, we aim to stay on schedule and keep you updated if anything changes.
