Renovation Pros of North Carolina, LLC offers a different kind of painting service. We are on-time painters who give you an exact price up-front, do professional "Prep & Paint" work, leave no mess, and ensure you are satisfied.

Virtually everyone has heard about bad painting services – and that’s because just about anybody with a paint brush and a pickup truck can be a painting contractor. The result is that many people hire contractors that end up leaving projects unfinished, without proper preparation, taking far longer-than-expected to complete a project, with painters that have less-than-perfect manners. And then there’s always the surprise bills and charges that come in higher than the quote.

We determined that we would provide a better service. We’re not perfect, but we try: we offer honest, high-quality services and we leave behind highly satisfied customers. Since there wasn’t really a good source of information available, I had to make one. We call it the "Guide to a Perfect Paint." Ask these questions of your painting contractor in advance to know whether you are going to get a truly professional job at a fair price.

1. Define The Painting Project.  We review the exact details of your project before we ever pick up a brush. This takes just a few minutes of additional time up front, but saves everyone a lot of time later.  
2. Communicate Clearly, in Writing, the Specifics of the Entire job.  Some painters add $100's or more in "extra" fees. Here is how to avoid unexpected charges: Make sure that every detail of the job is written up-front. Look at the job description, and not just the quote they gave you.  
3. Select Perfect Tools & Materials.   A complete project will only look perfect if the painter skillfully uses the best tools. Understanding which brushes to use, and how to evenly spread paints on large surfaces and on corners takes a serious investment in equipment and education.  
4. Ensure The Painter Has The Experience To Do The Job Correctly.  Our painter should have the expertise to know what colors and technique will give you the most for your investment. Ask them to teach you about what they would recommend so you can sure they are expert at their craft.  
5. Establish A Schedule That Works For You.  Painting schedules should work around when it’s convenient for you. Otherwise, you can have painters in your way at some very inconvenient times.  
6. Work Out A Convenient Payment Plan.  Do not pay the full price for a job up front. Be sure to work out a payment plan that includes a down payment and only requires payment in full once the job is done and you are fully satisfied.  
7. Prepare With Detail.  Nearly half of a perfect paint job should be spent on the preparation work: washing, sanding, vacuuming, patching, caulking, taping, laying down tarps, ensuring proper ventilation, preparing safety ladders, and much more.  
8. Apply The Right Primer.  Knowing which primer to use on the painting surface is critical to a perfect finish. Choose the wrong primer or if you don’t use a primer at all, and your paint can look dull, flat, lifeless, or the paint work itself may require more expensive coats.  
9. Paint Evenly (Keep The Brush Moving) And Apply The Right Number Of Coats.  Painting is not tremendously complex, but the method you use to apply the paint (the preparation and mixture of paint, the angle of the brush, the speed of application, the thickness of each coat, etc) create a noticeable difference. This is especially true with today’s washable or “eggshell” finishes.  
10. Focus On Detail Work.  A professional painter will give proper focus on Doors, Windows, Corners, And Switches to ensure that the most noticeable and used areas look great.  
11. Clean Up Completely.  Make sure that there are no messes left behind at the end of the job! We also clean and organize our work area for the overnight.  
12. Walk Through, Sign Off, And A Parting Gift.  Our painting service is not complete until the job is done right. We meet with you when the job is done to insure you are satisfied.
