While it seems like all of us will eventually try our hand at painting at one point or another, we often see a lot of house painting projects being left up to the professionals.
Climbing on ladders or the roofs of our homes is dangerous especially for someone who isn’t used to doing it on a daily basis. Hiring a professional like Kings Custom Finishes for your home painting needs is a no brainer. We carry insurance, have the right equipment and are experts at what we do.
After many years within the paint industry, we have uncovered that attention to detail, communication, and hard work that is what you want out of your home paint contractor. In an effort to meet those needs we have developed a very specific procedure we like to follow when tackling a home paint project.
In order to get you an accurate quote, we must see the project so that we can access the condition and get proper measurements. This estimate typically takes 60 to 90 minutes to complete but roughly only 20-30 minutes of your time.
After arriving at the home, we will start with a Q&A to find out what you need, what you want, and what you’re looking for along with some basic information about paint and our company. Following that, we will do a walk around the house together to address all areas, cover details, and provide options based on your needs.
Your painting consultant will than need a little time to get measurements and pictures of the project. Depending on the home and project we may be able to provide the price on site, but more than likely we will need more time to put together an accurate and competitive estimate.
We will provide you with a comprehensive quote detailing the job scope, requirements, and price within 48 hours of the estimate. The quote will be sent via email and can be signed electronically for your convenience. All quotes include labor, material, pressure washing (for exterior projects) and prep unless otherwise specified.
Upon request, we will assist you during your color selection journey. How will we assist?
Depending on if we are painting the interior or exterior of your home, we will prepare the surfaces differently. For exteriors we start by pressure washing the exterior of the home and completing any repairs. Pressure washing and removing all the dirt from the exterior creates a clean surface for the paint to adhere to which will ensure you get a top-quality, long-lasting
finish.
After the surface is clean, we must prepare it for paint. Paint does not adhere correctly to siding or wood that has rot, water damage or failing paint. If you are doing the repairs yourself, be
sure to have it complete before painting is applied.
This step could also include the following:
For the interior we start off by masking off any floors to be protected from any dust or paint overspray. We then go through and do any wall repair needed, this includes fixing any drywall repairs, caulking any settling cracks, and filling any holes left behind from pictures or hangers that are no longer needed. Trim prep is similar, we do a thorough degreaser cleaning and then sand to dull any shiny surfaces to promote proper adhesion from trim paint. We apply multiple coats of trim enamel to ensure you have a tough and durable finish on all of your trim and doors to stand up against the daily wear and tear of life.
We will prepare the area for the work by putting down drop cloths and masking off areas that are not getting painted. We ask that you make sure to move anything of value and please keep kids and pets out of the work area so that we can avoid any accidents.
We will complete the painting outlined on your signed contract. For most projects, we will paint a minimum of 2 coats for superior coverage and durability and we use the “Spray and Back Roll” painting method. When you spray and back roll you use an airless paint sprayer to apply the paint first and then immediately go back over the surface with a short to medium nap roller while it is still wet. For trim, doors, and cabinets where applicable we will spray multiple coats of topcoat for a flawless finish. For projects where we are unable to spray, we cut and roll using proper tools and techniques which still leave a beautiful and smooth finish. These processes help to ensure proper application thickness, adhesion, and texture.
We will unmask the area, clean up and dispose of any used masking material and trash created from our process of the project.
After the work is completed, we will walk the project with you. During this walk we will complete any final touch ups you see and ensure 100% satisfaction before collecting payment.
The days following your final walk will include some emails including your Warranty and a request to review us and your experience online.
This painting process has helped ensure you get the best quality paint and service we can offer. Not to mention, it is all backed up with our Exterior Painting Warranty and Service Guarantee!
