In most cases it is ideal to receive 3 bids from local painting contractors. That way you can compare first impressions, project details and pricing. Unfortunately there are painting contractors with questionable business practices. Going with the lowest bid isn't always in your best interest if it means compromising on the quality of materials, business qualifications and/or practice standards brought into your home. Remember, prioritizing quality over cost will yield much better results and overall experience.
At Grey Wolf Painting we always use the best paint for your project, and we've tried them all! Sherwin Williams is a top-notch paint line, known for its durability. There are many different coatings within SW to choose from, and we will suggest the right paint for your project based on the durability/finish as well as the way it performs during the painting process.
Absolutely! We can make recommendations based on your ideas, or refer you to a color specialist who can work with you to create a detailed color scheme. Visiting the Sherwin Williams Website is a great place to start!
We will always work with your preferences! If you have a specific paint brand in mind, so long as we believe it will perform well, we are happy to use it. Pricing may change depending on the cost of your paint brand selection. Otherwise we can have your color perfectly matched and added to the paint coating ideal for your project.
If, despite our best efforts, you are dissatisfied with the results for any reason, please let us know and we will do everything in our power to make things right. Our number one priority is to provide each and every one of our clients with the highest level of service possible.
In most cases, it is not recommended to paint over existing wallpaper. Over time, the wallpaper's adhesive can weaken, leading to peeling or bubbling when paint is applied.
When deciding between low-sheen, medium-sheen, or high-sheen paint finishes, here are some safe guidelines: For walls and ceilings: use zero- or low-sheen paint finishes, such as a high-quality flat, matte, or eggshell paint. (For ceilings, you can default to a flat paint sheen.) For cabinetry and woodwork: use satin, which is a medium-sheen paint. Unlike most walls, woodwork is already paper-smooth, so the light hitting it won’t bounce off every little bump, and a satin sheen will give your woodwork a soft, gentle luster. Save high-gloss paints for high impact spaces, or for maximum durability!
In order to protect both your belongings and the painters working on your walls, we strongly suggest moving any furniture or other items that are close to the walls to another part of the room. However, if you are unable to move the furniture on your own, we are able to assist you in doing so.
The timeline for a painting project depends on the size and scope of the job. We can usually complete exterior projects within 1 week. We always work efficiently to get the job done as quickly as possible while maintaining high quality standards.
