We run an AirBnB and live 3 hours away but that didn't matter, Brad was prompt in getting a quote to me and happily worked around the house bookings. He was proactive with regular communication and photos keeping me updated on progress.

How much will it cost to paint my home?+
It depends on the size of the job, the condition of the surfaces and how much preparation is needed. We’ll visit your property, talk through what you’d like done and provide a free written quote for the agreed work.
How far ahead should I book?+
Get in touch once you have a rough timeframe in mind. Availability varies throughout the year, so let us know if you’re working towards a move, renovation or holiday booking. We’ll discuss available dates and plan exterior work around suitable weather.
Can we stay in our home while you’re painting?+
Often, yes. We can plan the work room by room where practical to keep disruption manageable. Before we start, we’ll talk through access, drying times and any areas you’ll need to keep clear so you know what to expect.
What do I need to do before you arrive?+
Please clear small belongings, fragile items and valuables from the areas being painted. We’ll agree what needs moving beforehand, including any larger furniture, and take care of protecting floors and nearby surfaces. For exterior work, we’ll discuss access around the house.
What’s included in your painting quote?+
We’ll explain which surfaces are being painted, what preparation is needed and the products we plan to use. Your written quote covers the agreed scope, with any larger repairs or extra work discussed separately.
Can you organise the painting while we’re away?+
Yes. We regularly work with out-of-town homeowners. We agree access and timing in advance, coordinate around holiday bookings where possible, and keep you informed with progress updates and photos.
