What to Expect from Start to Finish

No-Name Painter recognizes that painting can be disruptive and strives to minimize the impact to you. We do almost all the work for you and leave your home neat and tidy so you can enjoy your new colors without all the effort. To help you know what to expect, here are our steps from beginning to end:

Step 1: Request an Estimate
What you do:   Contact us to request a free estimate.
Select the colors and areas you want painted.
     
What we do:   Help you select colors if you like. We specialize in color assistance and can help you achieve the color you desire.

During a free estimate we look at:
  • Each area you want painted
  • Amount of cutting in (kitchen can be more costly)
  • Condition of walls for amount of repair work needed
  • Color depth and number of coats it will take
  • Estimate available within 24 hours once all information is finalized
  • See What adds costs to the estimate? for more information
 
Step 2: Scheduling and Preparing for Painting Day
What you do:   Contact us to schedule a time to paint. Before we come you will need to:
  • Move your furniture 2-3 feet from the walls.
  • Remove all paintings, photos, and items on walls.
  • Mark any thing on the walls you want to stay. For example, picture hangers. Anything else will be considered wall repair.
  • That's it!
What we do:   Prior to painting we:
  • Cover everything with painters plastic. This includes doorways to reduce dust in rest of house during wall repair.
  • Remove outlet and switch plate covers, window treatments, and stair railings.
  • Put drop cloths down
  • Remove any wallpaper
 
Step 3: Painting Day
