OUR PROCESS

Take a look at how we do things

Scheduling the Estimate

We will work to arrange the estimate around your schedule. Our professional staff will work with you to determine the best time for us to come out and give you a free estimate on your project.

Estimate

We will assess your needs, describe the process, and answer any questions you may have. You will be left with a contract that includes all the specifics of the house painting project.

Colour Consulting

Whether you know what colour you want, or you need some help choosing the right colour, we will always do a test patch (or several) until your needs are met. We want you to be happy with the choice, so we will not start any project until you have signed off on the colour.

Washing

Our crew will be scheduled to thoroughly hand and power-wash your home to ensure the surface is ready for paint.

Painting

Our experienced painting crew will prepare your home for painting. This may include scraping, caulking, and other minor maintenance. We will protect all surfaces where paint could drip, and collect all paint chips left from scraping. Once ready for paint, we will begin painting of your house, using the brush, roll and spry technique.

Clean-up

We keep the work site organized and clean on a daily basis. All trash from the project is collected and disposed of upon completion. You will have the opportunity to inspect all work and job site cleanliness, before our crew leaves.

Lead safe and eco-friendly contractor

We follow all OSHC, rules and regulations regarding lead paint. We will test all homes built prior to 1978 for lead paint. We will adhere to the following procedures on any home that tests positive for lead.

– Any paint chips that come off in the process of washing will be removed from the area.
– When scraping paint, the exterior base of the home will be surrounded with 6 mil poly tarp extending 10-20 feet out where possible.
– This will collect any paint chips or dust falling from the house. The poly will be disposed of upon completion of the work.
– Wet scraping is the acceptable method of preparing the house. This is the process of spot wetting the area and scraping at the same time, ensuring that dust particles fall to the tarp below and are not air-borne.
– Lead paint chips and dust will be disposed of in 6 mil poly trash bags, reducing the risk of punctures.
– Signs will be posted to alert people to the lead based paint, and caution tape will prevent unnecessary visitors from entering the worksite.
– The health of workers will be ensured by testing for lead levels in the blood before each painting season, and then later at the end of the painting season.
– We will provide workers with OSHC approved face respirators with HEPA filters. These will be professionally tested to ensure a secure fit.
– Workers will wear disposable body suits while scraping the house.
