| No. In our particular area normally both husband
and wife many times have to work outside of the home. This presents no problem whatsoever
for us. We normally arrive on the job before you need to leave for work and special
arrangements can always be made to pick up a key ahead of time if needed. We have never had a problem when it comes to the trustworthiness of our painters. Your home will be respected the same as it would be if you were there. However we also realize that many people are uncomfortable with leaving workmen in their house unattended. We understand this hesitancy by some and are not offended by that. |
|
| When we come in to paint your home we are expecting
to handle everything ourselves. We move all of the furniture into the middle of the room,
remove pictures from the walls and take down any window treatments. All furniture and belongings are carefully covered and all floors are protected with the proper drop cloths during painting. The only items we ask the customer to move are the small knick- knak type items. Upon completion of the painting we will place all furniture back in the location that it was removed from and re-hang pictures and window treatments. If the painted surfaces are not ready for the pictures and window treatments to be reinstalled then we can return the next day and do that if you would like. We do offer a setup discount of 5% of the total
cost of the job if you would like to set the areas up for painting yourself.
Setup would consist of placing all furniture in the middle of the area to be
painted, removing all pictures, window treatments, switch plates and
receptacle covers. |

| Many factors can contribute to that.
1. The quality of the paint used is of the utmost importance. 2. The amount of traffic through a particular area. 3. Whether or not there are smokers in the home. 4. Is there a fireplace that is used on a regular basis during the winter months, and does the damper work properly ? 5. How many children and their ages ? There are too many factors to take into consideration, and each home can be different. However a good quality job done by a professional crew under normal conditions should last anywhere from 6-10 years. Call us and we will be happy to evaluate your particular situation and offer you a more precise answer. |

| After moving the
furniture into the middle of the room it will be covered in plastic. All
floors will be protected by canvas drop cloths. We use clear plastic on the
furniture so that you can always see what is under the covering.
Many times if the furniture is covered with canvas you do not know what is under it and damage is much more likely to occur from the canvas when it is removed. Not to mention the fact that who wants canvas with old paint all over it on top of there belongings. |

| All holes are filled and sanded. All cracks are properly scraped out, filled and sanded. Caulking is inspected around all windows and frames, doors and door frames and re-caulked as needed. Crown molding, chair rail etc. are all caulked and properly prepared. All nail pops are repaired and sanded. Any water stains, crayon marks etc. are sealed before painting and grease and heavy dirt accumulations are cleaned. Any mildew that is present will be removed prior to painting. |

major paint manufacturers and can use any paint that you wish however, we
prefer to use paints and primers for our customers from what we consider to

| Cracks can always be repaired and regardless of the
preparation done some may reappear. However your best chance at successfully repairing those cracks is to dig out the crack, fill it, tape it with a fiberglass mesh tape and sand it smooth. Then prime over your patched area before repainting. |

choose from and what you will normally find is that the established companies are usually fairly close in price.

| We feel that a house is a lot like an automobile in
the fact that the investment is large and the maintenance is a must. If we don't wait until the engine blows to check or change the oil we can protect our investment. Please

| For most applications on
interior walls, a latex paint will offer many advantages over alkyd paint. In most available products you will receive better color retention and the finish will be non-yellowing. Additionally, the latex products will have a lower odor, dry faster, and you will be able to clean up with soap and water. |
|
| There is an old saying
"You only get what you pay for." This is especially true for paint. Discuss what you want the paint to do with your professional installer or your paint store, to determine the best product for your needs. Remember that the paint is only a small part of the job. It is always the best decision to use the best products. |
How long should I wait before |
| We always recommend waiting
two weeks before allowing any cleaning agents to come in contact with the new paint. Paint dries in a matter of a few hours but all paint goes through a curing process which takes longer. |
