Services
Interior Painting
Transform your home's interior with precise, low-disruption painting. We move furnishings, protect surfaces, repair imperfections, and apply premium paint with crisp lines. Our 2-coat spackling and siliconized caulk ensure flawless finishes that last for years.
Exterior Painting
Protect and enhance your home's exterior with thorough preparation. We power wash, scrape peeling paint, sand surfaces, prime bare wood, and apply durable acrylic latex paint. Our process includes mildew treatment and window reglazing for long-lasting results.
Deck Staining
Revitalize outdoor spaces with professional deck cleaning and sealing. We power wash to remove dirt and mildew, make necessary repairs, then apply protective stain or sealer. This process enhances appearance while extending your deck's lifespan against weather elements.
Power Washing
Prepare surfaces for painting with industrial power washing at 3,000 psi. We remove salt deposits, chalk, and mildew that compromise paint adhesion. This essential step ensures proper paint bonding and extends the longevity of exterior paint jobs.
Wallpaper Removal
Eliminate old wallpaper to create smooth painting surfaces. Our method includes drywall repair, trim work, and complete removal of adhesive residue. This service prepares walls for fresh paint while maintaining minimal disruption to homeowners.
