We are an owner operated company. The owner, Greg, having over 20 years experience in the painting field, works on, and oversees all jobs with the help of a small, professional crew. All painters have at least 5 years experience, are detail oriented, well mannered and always professional. We do mostly interiors and some small exterior projects. Anything from a single room to a whole house interior, condo, or office suite. We also do projects for condo associations and property management companies such as stairwells and common areas. We focus on one project at a time from start to finish. No skipping from job to job. Cost is determined by the job. Prices include all labor and materials including paint. We generally use Benjamin Moore paints. We get good prices on paint and pass our savings on to our customers. We have a long list of happy, satisfied customers. We also get a lot of repeat customers and referrals. Please feel free to contact Greg via phone or email to schedule a free estimate. You will not be disappointed!

"Greg was recommended to us 4 years ago by friends who completed their entire home gut reno project including extensive painting, so when it was time for us to do the same, we took our friends' recommendation to call him and are so glad that we did! We've been working with Greg and his team for the past 4 years on other painting projects at our prior home, but most recently (and extensively), he and his team painted the entire interior of our new home, which included all walls, ceilings, new crown moulding and new baseboards, as well as brand new interior doors throughout the home that were spray painted. They also painted the interior of our garage. This project was complicated by the fact that many of the walls had wainscoting, so his team had an extra level of detail to account for. Additionally, they worked around the schedules of other contractors who were completing a gut renovation simultaneously in the house and to make it even a little more complicated, we were also living through the whole renovation as it was happening. Greg and his team were the consummate professionals, working with us on scheduling, proving to be flexible and accommodating to our ever changing needs. Their attention to detail is something we are so grateful for. Additionally, they are just the most pleasant people to have working in our home, which is something we don't take for granted. They're so professional, very easy to communicate with and fair with pricing. We have several smaller projects on the horizon and will have Greg back to complete the painting portion of all of them. We've recommended Greg to several friends and neighbors (the neighbors were very keen on knowing all about Greg as they were so impressed with the work as it was happening). Can't recommend him enough!"

Deck staining services FAQs

You should paint your home exterior every five to 10 years, on average. Climate and surroundings can affect how well paint holds up. Wood siding will likely need a fresh coat of paint every three to seven years. Paint on brick tends to last about eight to 17 years, on average.

There are a few ways to make your deck look new without professional power washing. First, you can use either store-bought cleaners or dish soap and water to mop your deck regularly to clean off accumulated dirt. To clean your deck and remove mold, mix two gallons of warm water with a ½ cup of distilled white vinegar or apple cider vinegar, rinse the area, and then scrub with a stiff-bristled broom.

The cost to professionally pressure wash your deck is $150 on average. This cost can range from $100 to $600, depending on the size of your deck and its condition. 

For an average deck of about 300 square feet, you can expect to pay around $100. However, if you have a spacious 1,000-square-foot deck or more, expect that cost to be closer to $300 to $400. Likewise, if it’s been a long time since you deep cleaned your deck, the deck professional might need extra time and to use deck-specific detergent, which will increase the overall cost.

To calculate the square footage of a home exterior, painters multiply the length of the wall by the height of the wall to be painted. Then they add the total square footage for all of the walls to be painted. To calculate the price, they multiply the total square footage by their cost per square foot to prep and paint. Additional costs may factor in such as repairs, additional trim, and walls higher than the first story.

The cost to paint the exterior of a house ranges from $1,900 to $4,500 or about $1.50 to $4 per square foot, depending on the size, height, and complexity of the home layout. Other cost factors include your location, the type of siding (e.g., wood, aluminum, brick, stucco, etc.), and the kind of paint (e.g. oil-based, latex, acrylic, etc.). Painting the trim a different color or painting intricately designed trim can also increase the cost.
