House Painters Who Protect Your Floors Before Opening a Can

Most house painters ask you to clear out first. Most of our work happens in houses that nobody moves out of. The family is still cooking dinner, the dog still needs the back door, and somebody still has to work from the dining table.

That changes how the job is done. Drop cloths go down before the first can comes off the truck. Furniture gets moved and covered, not shoved aside. Doorways get sealed so dust stays in one room instead of traveling through the house. At the end of the day the room you are using again is a room you can actually use.

It is a slower way to work, and it is the reason people call us back.

What we are known for

Texture Matched So the Repair Disappears

This is the part most homeowners get wrong when hiring, and it is the part we are known for.

Patching a hole is easy. Making the patch invisible is not. A repair that is flat where the wall is textured, or smooth where the ceiling has a pattern, reads as a scar every time the light hits it. Matching that texture is a skill, and it is the difference between a wall that looks repaired and a wall that looks like nothing ever happened.

Why Homeowners Around Goose Creek Call Cypress Prime

The owner does the estimate visits himself. The painting contractor who priced the job is the same person who knows what was promised, and the same person you talk to if something is off.

His background is the trade: painting, drywall, texture and finish work, learned on high-end homes where the finish had to hold up to inspection. He is also trained as a designer, and that shows up in the part of the job people notice without naming it: how a color reads in a room at four in the afternoon, whether a finish line is actually straight, where the eye lands first.

We are licensed and insured, and the warranty is written before the work starts.

Before you hire

Questions Homeowners Ask Before Hiring a Painting Contractor

Are you a licensed and insured painting contractor?

Yes. We are licensed and insured, and we can send the documentation before the work starts.

Do we have to move out while you paint?

No. Almost all of our work is done in houses that stay lived in. We protect the floors and furniture, seal the room we are working in, and hand each room back clean.

Can you make a drywall or ceiling repair match the rest of the wall?

That is the work we are known for. We rebuild the surrounding texture so the patch does not read as a patch. Send a photo of the spot and we will tell you what it needs.

What does popcorn ceiling removal involve in an older house?

In an older house, texture and joint compound can contain asbestos, so the ceiling is tested before anything is scraped. We do not promise removal on an older ceiling before that test comes back.

What does the warranty actually cover?

One year on interior painting, two years on exterior, with the covered and not-covered list written into the estimate. The table above is the same one you receive.
