Learn to “dial back” a strong color like the pros. Many of our customers initially say they are eager to infuse their homes with color, but lose their confidence mid-way through the selection process. They fear that even warm, inviting colors like pumpkin-coral or meadow green will overpower a wall and fall back on a “safe choice” in the off-white/beige/deep ivory family. This is fine – unless it leaves you yearning for the warmer color you sought in the first place. In this case, try confining a splash of color to one wall – the dominant wall – or choosing a lighter shade (or two) of the same color.

These guys just completed my exterior job. Would highly recommend. Every touch point with their team was positive. From the person who answers their phone, to the bidder Allegra, to the crew. They paid attention to detail and listened. They were helpful and patient navigating color selection. They were very responsive to any questions or concerns. Hell they even cleaned up when they left. A+++

When it comes to new construction, painters come into the picture after all the plumbing, electrical, and drywall work has been completed. However, nothing else is in the house yet, making the job much simpler. Since there is no flooring, cabinetry, trim work, lighting fixtures, or any other features in the house, the painters don’t have to worry about lengthy preparations or extensive cleanup either. Because of this, painting new construction is slightly less expensive than a lived-in home. Generally, costs range from $7,000 to $9,500.
