Questions people ask
Should I paint my house before selling it?
Usually, yes. Interior painting was the most common project sellers did before listing, done by 46% of them (Zillow Consumer Housing Trends Report, 2024), and 50% of Realtors recommend painting the entire home before it goes on the market (NAR Remodeling Impact Report, 2025). Neutral, clean walls help buyers picture themselves in the house.
What is included in each painting tier?
Walls covers the walls only. Walls + Trim adds baseboards, door and window casings and doors. Walls, Trim + Ceilings is everything, top to bottom. We quote each tier so you can choose.
What is The Empty Palace?
It is our whole-house painting service for empty houses, usually between closing and moving day. With no furniture to move, every room is easy to reach and the house is finished before you move in.
What is The Standing Bid?
For agents with an active listing, Doug walks the house and leaves a dated, written whole-house painting quote with the listing. Buyers can see what painting would cost before they make an offer.
Can painting get rid of cigarette smoke smell?
Paint alone usually does not. Odor and residue sit in the walls and ceilings and come back through a new coat. Our Full Neutralize service cleans and seals the walls first, then paints walls, trim and ceilings. Carpet, padding and ductwork can hold odor too, and they are outside our job, so we tell you up front if a house needs more than paint.
Why don't you list prices?
Every house is different: the size, the condition of the walls and how many tiers you want all change the job. We walk the house and give you a written quote.
What areas do you serve?
We are based in Bexley and paint across Greater Columbus, including Bexley, German Village, Clintonville, Grandview Heights, Upper Arlington, Worthington, Dublin, Powell, Westerville, Gahanna, New Albany, Franklin Park, Eastmoor and Berwick.
Do you work with restoration companies?
Yes. After smoke or water damage, the cleanup crew often needs a painter who can seal and repaint. If you run a restoration company, call us about working together.
