Winter, indoors

A good time for rooms you've been putting off

Inside paint dries the same in January as in June, and in winter my calendar has room. If you have a kitchen, a stairwell or a hallway you've been meaning to do, this is the season. The winter discount is on the coupon and in your written estimate.

Winter questions

How long does the first visit take?

About an hour for most houses, longer for a big one or a house with a lot of rooms to look at. I tell you when I book it, so you can plan around it.

What's on a written estimate?

Every surface and room, the repairs I'll make, how many coats, which paint and sheen, how many colors, cleanup, the schedule, how payments work and what the warranty covers. Anything I leave out, I say I'm leaving out.

What about weather and drying time up here?

Outside work needs dry days and a warm enough forecast. I check the data sheet for the paint we're using and watch the week ahead. If the weather turns, I move the day and tell you.
