Most projects start with one big decision: are you painting the inside or the outside of your home? Pick a path below.
Interior House Painting
Walls, ceilings, trim, doors, accent walls — every room in your home, handled by our own trained crew. Two-coat finish with premium Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore paint, color consultation included on every project.
Learn MoreExterior House Painting
Siding, soffits, shutters, doors, fascia, and trim — power-washed and primed before paint. Weather-rated finishes built to last 7-12 years in Mid-Atlantic conditions, backed by our 2-year workmanship warranty.
Learn MoreExterior House Painting
Our exterior house painting service covers siding, trim, doors, fascia, soffits, and shutters — every visible surface on your home’s exterior. We start with a full prep cycle of power-washing, hand-scraping any failing paint, and priming bare wood and patches before a single coat of finish goes on. Premium acrylic-latex paints rated for Mid-Atlantic UV and humidity hold finish 7-12 years on most homes, and every exterior project is backed by our written 2-year workmanship warranty.
