Interior Painting
Our interior painting service transforms living spaces with premium, low-VOC paints applied by skilled technicians. We handle surface preparation, drywall repairs, and trim work while maintaining clean workspaces throughout the project. Clients receive detailed color consultation referrals and customized timelines based on room size and complexity.
Cabinet Painting
Specialized cabinet painting includes thorough deglossing, primer application, and multi-coat finishes using durable, chip-resistant paints. Our process preserves hardware functionality while minimizing disruption through strategic masking techniques. Projects typically complete within one week for standard kitchen layouts.

We restore period-accurate finishes on historic properties using traditional techniques and period-appropriate materials. This includes lead-safe practices for pre-1978 structures and consultation on maintaining architectural integrity while meeting modern durability standards.

Our exterior painting service includes pressure washing, surface repairs, and application of weather-resistant paints. Projects incorporate moss removal and gutter cleaning options, with scheduling prioritized during dry seasons to ensure optimal paint adhesion and longevity.

Report
Owner came to the house and promised a proposal for painting the exterior. Weeks and weeks went by and I followed up with emails and text messages asking for a status on the proposal but owner refused to respond. Telling me they were no longer interested in the job would have been completely acceptable. Ignoring emails and text messages is not. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise because it could be indicative of how the company shows up (or doesn't) once hired.

Being a business owner it's so valuable to have good people to refer your customers to when they have additional work to be done. Tristan has done work for me personally and multiple clients of mine and has never disappointed. Highly recommended.
