"Chris and his crew did an amazing job. They fit us in as a rush job and went above and beyond to move furniture, paint, clean up, and finish the job ahead of schedule. I only wish I had called them sooner."

Section 10 · Frequently Asked

Six questions asked often.

Click any row to expand. If you don't see your question, write to us.

01Do you give free written quotes?
Yes. We come to your home, walk through the space with you, take measurements, and send a detailed written quote within forty-eight hours. It is itemized so you can see what every part of the job costs.
02How long does a typical interior job take?
Most interior jobs take two to four days depending on size and scope. A whole-house interior with ceilings, walls, doors, and trim typically wraps in three to five days. We give you an exact timeline in writing before we start.
03What paint do you use?
We use trusted name-brand paints selected for the surface, sheen, and Florida climate. We walk you through the options at the quote stage so you know exactly what is going on your walls.
04Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We carry general liability insurance and operate as a licensed Florida painting contractor. We are happy to provide proof of both before any job starts.
05Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. We back our painting with a workmanship guarantee. If something we did fails inside the first year, we come back and fix it at no charge. Most paint failures come from bad prep, and we do not skip prep.
06Where do you work?
Gainesville and the surrounding towns in Alachua County: Haile Plantation, Tioga, Jonesville, Newberry, Alachua, High Springs, and Archer. The whole county is on our regular rotation.
