Questions
Questions about painting prices
Why are your ranges so wide?
Because the same job varies a lot from house to house. Square footage, wall height, how much repair the surface needs, the number of colors and the product line all move the number. The range covers ordinary Atlanta homes; your walkthrough narrows it to one written figure.
Do these prices include paint?
Our ranges assume we supply a good mid to upper line paint, primer, caulk and patching materials along with labor. If you want a premium designer line or a specialty coating, the material cost goes up and we show that difference on the estimate.
What is not included in a typical range?
Major carpentry, rotted structural framing, moving heavy furniture like pianos, and work above two stories that needs a lift are priced separately after we see them. We point these out on the walkthrough so they never show up as a surprise mid-job.
How do I get an exact price for my house?
Call (470) 458-0461. We set a time to walk the job, measure, check the surfaces and talk through colors and sheens. The written estimate lists the prep, the products, the number of coats and the schedule.
