How it goes, from the first call to the last walkthrough

Four steps you can see coming, starting with a visit within 24 hours. No sales pitch, no surprise at the end.

  1. On site within 24 hours

    Call, text or send the form. We are at your home within 24 hours of your request, measuring every surface and every repair.

  2. You read the written estimate

    Line by line: prep, products, colors, number of days, a start date. You decide, at your pace.

  3. We prep, then paint or install

    Repairs, sanding, caulk and primer first, then the coats or the planks. Floors and furniture covered.

  4. Walkthrough and cleanup

    You point, we touch up. Swept every evening, and the house is clean when we leave.

Pick a color

Seven colors from the streets we paint. Tap one and it goes into your estimate request. We bring the fan decks to the estimate and paint a sample patch on your wall before we buy a gallon.

The names are ours, for the conversation. The exact product and color code go on the estimate.

What you can count on

  • Free on-site estimate within 24 hours

    We come to your home within 24 hours of your request, measure every surface, and you get a written line-by-line estimate. Free, no obligation.

  • A written, line-by-line estimate

    Every surface, the prep, the products, the number of days. No price by phone, no surprise at the end.

  • The owner on every job

    The person who walks your house and writes the estimate is the person on the ladder.

  • Floors and furniture covered

    Drop cloths, masking and plastic before the first coat; nothing of yours gets paint on it.

  • Swept every evening

    You come home to a clean house every day of the job, not only on the last one.

  • Prep before color

    Patching, caulking, sanding and priming are in the estimate, because that is what makes paint last in Gulf humidity.

  • Lead-safe practices on older homes

    Contained work areas, wet sanding, no open dust and careful cleanup on houses built before 1978.

  • One company for walls and floors

    Interior, exterior, cabinets and Quick-Step floors, one contact, one invoice.

Questions about hiring a house painter in New Orleans

The questions people type before they call a painter, answered without a sales pitch. Prices are on the written estimate, never on a web page.

How fast can you come out?

Within 24 hours of your request. Call, text or send the form today and we are at your home by tomorrow at the latest, to measure every surface and every repair. The written, line-by-line estimate follows the visit. Free, no obligation.

What do house painters charge in New Orleans?

We do not price by the hour or by phone, because two rooms of the same size can be very different jobs. What moves the price is the surface area, the condition of the old paint, the amount of repair and caulking, the number of stories and the access, the number of coats, and lead-safe setup on houses built before 1978. The written estimate after the visit shows each of those lines for your house.

How do I find a good house painter?

Ask for a written estimate that names the prep and the products. Ask who will actually be on the job. Ask how they handle paint from before 1978. Ask for proof of insurance. Read the reviews, and look at how the last job was left.

How long does it take to paint a house?

A single room is usually a day. The inside of a whole house depends on the number of rooms, the repairs, and whether trim and doors are included. An exterior depends on the size, the height, the prep and on dry weather. The estimate states the number of days for your job.

What are the common house styles in New Orleans, and do they change the job?

Shotguns and camelbacks, Creole cottages, raised center-hall houses, double-gallery homes in the city, and brick ranches in the suburbs. Each adds wood detail: brackets, columns, railings, shutters. More detail means more prep and more brush work, and the estimate lists it piece by piece.

What are popular paint colors for New Orleans homes?

Porch ceilings in haint blue, siding in warm yellows, creams and soft greens, doors in coral or deep green, shutters in dark green or charcoal, and white trim almost everywhere. Some historic districts review exterior colors on the street side. We bring the fan decks to the estimate and paint a sample patch on your wall before buying a gallon.

Is the estimate free, and how do I get one?

Yes. Call, text or send the form with your address or neighborhood, the service and a few words about the job. We come out within 24 hours of your request, and the written estimate follows the visit, with no obligation.

What is the downside of laminate flooring, and when is luxury vinyl better?

Laminate has a wood-fiber core: it feels harder underfoot and does not like standing water, so it belongs in bedrooms, living rooms and hallways. Luxury vinyl plank is all vinyl and waterproof, which makes it the better choice for kitchens, baths and laundry rooms. Quick-Step makes both; we help you choose room by room.

Do you work on houses built before 1978?

Yes, and most houses in New Orleans are. Older paint may contain lead, so sanding and scraping follow lead-safe practices: contained work areas, wet methods, no open dust, careful cleanup. Tell us the age of the house when you request the estimate.

Do you paint brick houses?

Yes. Brick ranches in Metairie and Kenner are painted every week in the metro, with a breathable masonry primer and coating on a clean, dry wall. Brick that has never been painted is a decision to make carefully, because it is hard to reverse; we say at the visit whether yours should be painted or washed and left alone.

Do you paint offices, shops and rental units?

Yes. Residential work comes first, and we also repaint offices, shops and rental units between tenants, after hours when the business needs it, with a written scope and a fixed date.

Do you speak Spanish or Portuguese?

Yes. English, Spanish and Portuguese, on the phone and on the job.
