We also use a number of different sheens. We recommend the following sheen choices: Walls - Eggshell, Ceilings - Flat, Closets and Interior Wooden Areas - Semi Gloss, Exterior Projects - Satin.

Q: Is a deposit required before the work begins?
A: Generally we do not require a deposit for projects totaling less than $10,000. Those big projects usually require a significant amount of money to be invested before the work can begin in which case we ask the customers to cover the cost of the materials beforehand. For anything less than $10,000, there is no upfront cost. This provides our customers with a risk free guarantee that we do stand behind our word and that we want to show off the finished product and go through the final inspection prior to payment.
Q: How do I schedule my project?
A: Simply review the contract proposal that we have submitted to you. If everything looks satisfying and you agree with all the terms and conditions, please sign and date the proposal in the appropriate area and fax or email it back to us. We will get back to you as soon as we receive your signed contract. If you would like to contact us with any special instructions or if you have any other questions or concerns please give us a call directly at the office 972-375-5100 or use our online contact form here .

Q: How do I prepare my house for the painting?
A: It will depend on what type of painting we will be working on. If it is interior painting we will ask you to only move small/fragile/valuable objects out of the way. These could be pictures, small plants, or other easily breakable objects including small furniture. Your pets will need to be locked away for the duration of the painting. Our crew will take care of all big pieces of furniture and they will move everything back the way it was before they started. For exterior projects we will require you to clear the perimeter around the building structure of any obstructions like gardening tools, children's toys, small exterior decor, and vehicles. Again, the pets will need to be locked away. All plants, trees, shrubs and other landscape including patio furniture will be thoroughly covered or temporarily moved out of the way by our men.
Q: I'm getting my entire house painted. Can I stay in the house during the project?
A: Only in extreme cases will you be advised to move away for the duration of the project. That will largely depend on the size of the project, the materials that will be used as well as the time and the type of painting involved. We will let you know ahead of time whether a temporary move will be necessary in your case.
Q: What will happen on the first day of the project?
A: The crew will arrive anytime between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. It is important to communicate any changes, revisions, questions or concerns directly to the office or to the estimator. If you need to reschedule your appointment with the crew, other than letting them know about it directly you have to make sure to let the office know as well. We can only be responsible for a timely work progress based on the information that the main office will receive. Only then can we avoid any unwanted miscommunication and misunderstandings.
