Question 1

How soon can you start working on my painting project?

Accepted Answer

It depends on our workload. If we can’t accommodate your scheduling needs, we’ll refer you to a reliable painter who has better availability. Of course, we’d prefer not to do that, but we’ve done so many times in the past because, ultimately, the needs of our clients are more important.

Question 2

Do you adhere to a specific painting process?

Accepted Answer

Every job varies in terms of techniques, paints and materials, but our owner, Yefim Skomorovsky, always meets with our clients before work begins to make sure everyone understands exactly what needs to be done. The foreman takes over from there, but Mr. Skomorovsky frequently checks every jobsite to make sure everything is running smoothly.

Question 3

Can you help me decide which color I should paint my house?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we can advise you on which colors will work best for your particular situation. As a general rule, you should avoid dark colors on exteriors—they absorb more heat than lighter colors, which can lead to cracking and paint failure. In terms of interiors, a light, warm color may work best in a room that doesn’t get much direct sunlight.

Question 4

Are your crew members experienced?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our crews are comprised solely of journeyman painters. Determining experience can be difficult because there aren’t any formal apprenticeships for painting, but we implement a rigorous screening process that tests each potential employee’s ability to paint. After 30 years in the business, we can tell if someone is a good painter just by watching them make a couple brush strokes.

Question 5

Do you charge for estimates?

Accepted Answer

No, our estimates are free.

Question 6

Do I have to remove all the furniture from a room before you start painting?

Accepted Answer

No, we’ll cover all your furniture so it’s protected from paint. The only thing we’ll ask you to remove is small, delicate items.
