We take pride in the quality of work and customer satisfaction that we give to every one of our clients to ensure that your project is unique! Complete exterior and Complete interiors only please *Saturday by Appointment Only*

"Another beautiful paint job delivered by Brent Garvey Painting! Outstanding attention to detail. Careful and thorough prep work. Quality products and excellent color matching to my very exacting requirements. An experienced crew of professional painters and a master carpenter arrived everyday on time and left a clean job site at days end. They were very personable and easy to work with. The siding on one side of my home needed to be replaced as a result of decades of sun, salt air, and being battered by winter storms for decades. The new work blends flawlessly with the old! This is the second time Brent Garvey and his crew of professionals have delivered a 5 star job for my home. The first time was 13 years ago. When it was time to repaint this year I didn't hesitate to call him to come back to do it again!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

The average labor cost for painting in the U.S. is $2 to $6 per square foot. Research what similar pros in your area charge to get a good idea of the normal labor costs for your region. Don’t forget to add charges for materials, complicated work, and project minimums to cover your overhead, if you’re doing a smaller project. 

If your already-painted walls have glossy paint, scuff the surface with 220-grit sandpaper or its equivalent before applying primer and paint. For all other paint sheen finishes, clean the walls and repair any spots that need it. Remember to protect the places that you don't intend to paint.

When you should repaint your house is largely up to you since it’s primarily a cosmetic update, but many people choose to repaint when they notice signs of fading, bubbling, or peeling paint. You might also want to repaint prior to selling your home to boost its resale value or if you want a new color.

You don’t have to sand between primer coats. However, if you’d like, you may lightly sand your last coat to ensure a smooth surface before you apply the paint color.

When applying multiple coats, wait four to six hours for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.
