Why didn't you all take on my project?

We love to work with our clients on a daily basis. At times, we are too busy to accept emergency projects so we decline the work or refer you to one of our competitors. At other times, we can see from our interaction that another company would be better suited to address your needs so we will decline. 

I need the work done in a month, when should I call you?

TODAY! We are a small company so scheduling is how we make sure that we can handle as many projects as possible while still staying on schedule. We typically schedule out 2 weeks in advance or even 4 weeks in advance in the summer.

Do you all work with general contractors?

Typically NO. We are painting contractors and we do not sub-contract under any general contractors unless we have an established working relationship. Typically we secure our own projects and handle them from start to finish.
