How a job runs

Prep is the job. The paint is the easy part.

Most of what makes a paint job last happens before the first coat. Here's the whole thing, start to finish.

  1. Call or send the form

    Tell us what you're painting and when you'd like it done. David calls back within one business day.

  2. Walk-through and color talk

    We come look at the surfaces, measure, point out anything that needs repair, and talk colors and sheens. No charge, no pressure.

  3. A quote you can read

    Written, line by line, with the prep spelled out. You know what's included before you say yes.

  4. Prep is the job

    Wash, scrape, sand, patch, caulk, prime. It's most of the work and it's why the finish lasts.

  5. Paint, then walk it with you

    Two clean coats, hand-cut lines, daily cleanup, and a final walk-through together. Done when you're happy with it.

Why an owner-run painter

One person quotes it, and answers for it.

One number, one person

The number on this site is David's. The person who walks the job and writes the quote is the person you call if anything comes up.

A quote you can read

Line by line, with the prep spelled out and the product named. If we find soft wood or damage while prepping, we show you rather than paint over it.

Built for weather here

Humidity, afternoon storms, salt air near the bay. We prime bare wood the day it's exposed, treat mildew instead of hiding it, and plan coats around the forecast.

Before you call

Questions we get before the first call.

How much does it cost to paint a house in Mobile or Baldwin County?

It depends on the size, the surfaces, and how much prep the house needs, so we don't guess over the phone. The walk-through and the written quote are free, and the quote lists exactly what's included so you can compare it line by line.

How soon can you start?

Tell us your timeline in the form and we'll be honest about the schedule when we call. Exterior work also depends on the weather, and we'd rather wait a few days than paint a coat that won't cure.

Do you help pick colors?

Yes. We'll talk through what you're after, and put sample patches on the wall or siding so you can see the color in your own light before we buy the paint.

Do I have to move my furniture?

No. Take breakables and small items off the shelves and we'll move the rest to the middle of the room and cover it. Floors, fixtures, and outlets are protected before any paint is opened.

What paint do you use?

Quality coatings from the major paint manufacturers, chosen for the surface and the exposure: mildew-resistant exterior acrylics for Gulf Coast siding, durable enamels for cabinets and trim, and scrubbable finishes for busy interiors. We'll name the product in the quote.

Which areas do you serve?

Mobile and the surrounding county, including Theodore, Semmes, and Saraland, and all of Baldwin County's Eastern Shore and south county: Daphne, Spanish Fort, Fairhope, Foley, Robertsdale, Magnolia Springs, and Gulf Shores.
