Services
Residential Painting
Our residential painting service transforms interiors and exteriors with premium Sherwin Williams products. We handle complete home makeovers, room-specific updates, and accent wall projects. The process includes surface preparation, primer application, and multi-coat finishes for optimal coverage. Clients receive color consultation services to select hues that enhance their property's aesthetic and market value.
Deck Staining
Deck staining preserves wood surfaces against weather damage and UV degradation. Our process includes power washing, sanding, and application of semi-transparent to solid stains. We offer color-matching services and protective sealants to extend deck lifespan while maintaining natural wood aesthetics.
Cabinet Refinishing
Cabinet refinishing revitalizes existing cabinetry through stripping, sanding, and repainting or staining. We offer custom color matching and durable finish options that withstand daily use. This service provides a cost-effective alternative to full cabinet replacement with minimal disruption to homeowners.
Drywall Repair
Our drywall repair service addresses holes, cracks, and water damage in residential properties. We use multi-step patching techniques and texture matching to create seamless repairs. The process includes priming and painting to restore walls to original condition with minimal visible evidence of damage.
Power Washing
Power washing removes mold, mildew, and surface contaminants from home exteriors. We use calibrated equipment to clean driveways, decks, and siding without damaging substrates. This service improves curb appeal and prepares surfaces for painting or staining projects.

Questions
How often should homeowners repaint their houses?
We recommend repainting every 5-10 years depending on weather exposure. Signs like cracking, fading, or chalking indicate the need for repainting regardless of timeline.
Do you offer color selection assistance?
Yes, our team provides color consultation services using Sherwin Williams fan decks to help clients choose optimal exterior and interior color schemes.
What distinguishes professional painters from DIY efforts?
Professionals ensure proper surface preparation, use commercial-grade materials, and apply techniques that guarantee even coverage and long-lasting results unattainable through amateur methods.
Which paint brand do you use?
We exclusively use Sherwin Williams products for their superior durability, extensive color range, and proven performance in residential applications.
Should I repaint before selling my home?
A professional paint job enhances curb appeal and perceived maintenance, often increasing resale value. We recommend neutral colors for broad buyer appeal.
Can I get an estimate remotely?
While we offer preliminary consultations via phone or email, in-person assessments provide the most accurate project cost estimates for custom painting work.

We used Absolute because they came recommended to us.
Pros: owner is very professional, employees are respectful excellent prep of walls
Cons: we are still finding spots that arent covered. Looking back over the estimate, it doesnt state 2 coats; it states complete coverage. Its smart wording for sure. The walls had never been painted, so 1 coat looked sufficient from a distance, but there were some big spots that didnt get touched up. And it would be nearly impossible to walk around and find every place that needed to be touched up (especially when youre talking about 2300

I interviewed tons of painters and was hesitant to use somebody that was not referred by somebody else that I knew. I took a chance with Absolute A painting and could not have been more pleased. The work was such a good value for the price, so professionally done. He removed old rotten wood, replaced wood, caulked, and removed debris. The exterior of our home looks 100% better. He is a wonderful professional painter and we will be using him for the interior.

Id admired several jobs of AbsoluteA on my Sterling Point bike route for a couple years until I finally had to ask the homeowner to who made their house the showcase of the block. Owner couldnt say enough about Chris and how meticulously and beautifully his job was done. Absolute A restored my deck and put new life in some sorry looking planks . Now I gotta new furniture to complete the glam deck makeover. Like I told Chris,
Im more than happy - Im satisfied ! Ill use Absolute A for all of my future painting projects for real real.
