Maintaining your home is crucial, being your largest investment. A fresh paint job not only enhances its appearance but also seals it against winter elements. It reveals and fixes hidden window issues and replaces rotting wood, safeguarding both interior and exterior.

In the event of an injury or property damage during a job on your premises, you could bear full liability. Independent Painting Co. is fully insured and covered, although we've never needed to rely on it for any incident. Your insurance company might pose challenges if an uninsured painter is involved in an incident.

The initial preparation involves power washing the entire house with a bleach solution to eliminate existing mildew and deter its future growth. Subsequent steps include scraping off loose paint, sanding the surfaces, and securing any loose boards. We also prime all rusty nail heads to prevent rust from bleeding through.

Independent Painting offers wood replacement services during the project. Should we discover newly rotted wood during the process, we'll promptly inform you, allowing you to choose the preferred course of action. Our carpentry work is conducted in-house, without subcontractors, by our skilled carpenter.

Nothing! All patio and interior furniture will be moved by us and we will also remove all shutters.

For Independent Painting Company, it's a different story! We boast expertise in both drywall installation and repair. Minor repairs can seamlessly integrate into our paint preparation process.

Interior Preparation: Prior to picking up a paintbrush or sander, we remove all objects from the walls and gather furniture in the center of the room. Subsequently, we shield all furniture with clean plastic to safeguard it against dust, paint, and other particles. Finally, we cover the entire work floor area with a canvas drop cloth to prevent any spills onto the floor or carpeting.

Exterior: All shrubs will be covered in drop cloths and drop cloths will be placed underneath the area being painted.

The distinction lies in how stain permeates deeply into the wood, unlike paint. When it comes to exterior jobs, using stain typically results in gradual fading rather than peeling. Peeling on the exterior indicates the use of latex paint, which isn't inherently problematic; it simply coats and seals the house rather than penetrating the wood. In interior projects, stain is primarily reserved for achieving a natural wood finish on trim. This process can be intricate and challenging if not executed properly, especially when using an oil stain.
