Where possible, large pieces of furniture are moved to the center of the room and covered with new drop cloths or plastic. If necessary, we can temporarily remove furniture from the room and reinstall it once the project is completed.

In most cases, a homeowner can remain in their home while it is being painted. It may be determined by the scope of the work and the length of time the work will affect critical areas such as the kitchen or bathrooms. If all of the surfaces in the room are going to be painted, the room will have to be sealed off until it is finished. If a homeowner must remain during the process, we design the project so that they are as comfortable and uninhibited as possible.

In most cases, yes. Normal wear and tear frequently causes damage to wood trim. Dings, dents, holes, and peeling paint are examples of normal wear and tear. This is especially noticeable on door frames and baseboards. The best way to treat and restore wood is to carefully sand down the existing layer of paint to de-gloss the surface and remove any failed material. The damaged areas are then filled in with a wood filler such as Bondo or Spackle, sanded until they blend with the surrounding area, primed, and the surface is ready for painting.

There are a few fundamental guidelines:

Consider the existing color elements in the room, such as furniture, a wood ceiling, a brick fireplace, and so on.
The size of the room – darker colors make a room appear smaller.
Light in a room – a lighter or brighter color can increase the amount of light.
What will the room be used for – a child’s room, an office, or a bedroom?

If you get stuck and can’t decide, we offer a 1-hour consultation with a professional Color Consultant. We’ll also use a small 2’x 2’brush to paint the wall and trim.

In most interior projects where moisture and heat are not present, bubbling and peeling are not a common problem. Homeowners who have pets or children will notice more nicks, dents, and dirt. In these cases, we recommend a higher sheen paint, especially in the hallway or children’s bedroom, so that most of these items can be wiped down.

The cost is determined by the scope of work, the surface conditions, the desired color scheme, and the amount of materials required. The best way to understand cost is to schedule a consultation so that we can fully understand your objectives and what will be required to complete the project.
