Six services, and the same prep behind all of them.

Take one room or the whole house. Either way the wall gets fixed before it gets painted, the edges get cut in by hand, and you get two full coats.

Cabinet Refinishing work by Two Coats

03 of 06

Cabinet Refinishing

A kitchen that looks replaced for a fraction of the cost, sprayed to a smooth factory-style finish.

  • Doors and drawer fronts numbered, removed and finished off site
  • Degrease, sand and bond primer so the color actually sticks
  • Sprayed topcoats with a hard cure before anything goes back on
  • Hinges adjusted and bumpers replaced on reinstall

Trim, Doors & Ceilings work by Two Coats

04 of 06

Trim, Doors & Ceilings

The detail work most crews rush: crisp lines at the casing, clean doors, ceilings with no roller shadow.

  • Baseboard, casing, crown and window trim cut in by hand
  • Doors finished on both faces plus the hinge and latch edges
  • Ceilings rolled in one direction so there are no lap marks
  • Hardware removed rather than taped around

Drywall Repair & Prep work by Two Coats

05 of 06

Drywall Repair & Prep

Patches, seams and water stains fixed and blended first, because paint does not hide a bad wall.

  • Cracks cut out, taped and floated rather than skimmed over
  • Popped nails and screws reset and spotted
  • Water stains sealed so they cannot bleed back through
  • Texture matched to the surrounding wall before priming

Color Consultation work by Two Coats

06 of 06

Color Consultation

An hour with real samples on your own walls, in your own light, before you commit to a whole house.

  • Large brushed samples placed on two walls per room
  • Reviewed in morning light and again in the evening
  • Trim, ceiling and door colors chosen as a set, not one at a time
  • Final selections written into your quote so nothing gets mixed up

No surprises

What is in a written quote.

Painting quotes are famous for being one line and one number. Ours is six sections, and you get it on paper before anything is booked.

Ask for one
  1. 01

    Every surface, listed by name

    Walls, ceilings, closets, trim, doors, both sides of each door. If it is not on the list, it is not in the price, and you will know before you sign.

  2. 02

    The prep steps, one by one

    Wash, scrape, fill, sand, caulk, spot prime, full prime. You can see exactly how much of the job is preparation, because that is where the money goes.

  3. 03

    Coats and sheen per room

    Two coats is the default. Where a color change needs three, we say so up front instead of finding out on paint day.

  4. 04

    Who moves what

    What we move and cover, and the few things we would rather you took down yourself, like curtains and anything breakable.

  5. 05

    Start date and working days

    The day we start, roughly how many days we are in the house, and the hours we work.

  6. 06

    A flat price, not a range

    One number for the scope described. It only changes if you add work or we find rot or water damage, and then we stop and show you first.

Good to know

Questions we get most.

Anything else, call (555) 555-0123. A painter picks up, not a call center.

Do we have to leave the house while you paint?
No. We work one room at a time and use low odor products indoors, so most families stay put. Cabinet doors go to our shop, so the spraying happens away from you.
How long does a typical interior job take?
Three to five working days for the main floor of an average home, longer if there is a lot of trim or wallpaper to deal with. Your estimate gives you the number of days before we start.
When is it too cold to paint outside?
In Vermont we usually run exteriors from late April into October, and we watch the overnight lows more than the daytime highs. If conditions will not let the coating cure, we reschedule rather than push it.
Do you supply the paint?
Yes, and it is in the price. You pick the color and the sheen, we handle the ordering, the tinting and the leftovers, which we label and leave with you for touch ups.

Not sure which of these you need?

Send us a couple of photos. We will tell you what the room actually needs and what can wait a season.
