  • Are you licensed and insured?

    Yes, I am a fully licensed and insured painting contractor. I understand it's an important question to ask, and I’ll be happy to provide my license number and a copy of my certificate of insurance for your records.

  • How long have you been in business?

    I've been in the painting business for nearly 30 years. For most of that time, I was serving clients in Nova Scotia, and for the last three years, I've had the pleasure of bringing my experience to the Myrtle Beach area.

  • Can you provide references or examples of your previous work?

    That's a great question, and I'm happy to provide that information. I have a portfolio of my recent work that I can share with you, as well as a list of satisfied clients who have agreed to act as references.

  • Do you use subcontractors?

    All of the work is performed by me, the owner. By not using subcontractors, I can personally guarantee that the highest standards of quality are met on every project, and you can rest assured knowing the same experienced professional is on your job from day one.

  • Do you offer free estimates?

    Yes, I do! I'm happy to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for your project. It’s the best way for me to understand your needs and give you a precise quote. Just let me know when you'd like to schedule a time to meet.

  • What is your process from start to finish?

    My process is designed to be simple, transparent, and focused on delivering a perfect finish with minimal disruption to your daily life.


    1. Initial Consultation & Quote

    It all starts with an on-site consultation. I'll meet with you to discuss your project in detail, understand your vision, and answer any questions you may have. Once I have all the information, I'll provide a detailed, all-inclusive quote for your review.


    2. Preparation & Painting

    Once the quote is approved, we'll schedule a start date. On the first day, I'll begin with thorough prep work, which includes carefully protecting all furniture, floors, surfaces, patching and caulking. I then begin with the painting, working methodically to apply the paint to the trim, ceilings, and then the walls. I always sand between coats to ensure a perfectly smooth and durable finish.


    3. Final Walk-through & Cleanup

    I believe a truly professional job isn’t complete until the space is spotless and you’re 100% happy. Before I consider the job done, I’ll conduct a thorough cleanup, removing all materials and leaving your home looking its best. We’ll then do a final walk-through together to make sure every detail meets your expectations.


    I also encourage you to point things out as I go. While I strive for perfection, I’m not finished until you are completely satisfied with the result.

  • How much does it cost to paint a house in Myrtle Beach?

    That's a great question, but the final cost can vary quite a bit depending on a few factors. It's difficult to give a precise price without seeing the space. To give you the most accurate quote, I'd need to take a look at the project. I offer free, no-obligation consultations, and I'd be happy to schedule a time to come out and give you a detailed estimate.

  • What kind of paint do you use?

    I primarily use high-quality Sherwin-Williams products. My experience has shown that their mid-to-high-end lines provide the best durability, coverage, and a beautiful, lasting finish for your home. However, I am always flexible. If you have a specific brand you prefer or wish to supply the paint yourself, that is absolutely fine.

  • How many coats of paint do you apply?

    For most projects, I apply a minimum of two coats. This is especially important when we are changing to a new color, as it ensures complete coverage and a beautiful, lasting finish. If we are simply refreshing the same color, one coat is often all that is needed.

  • What's the best paint color for a living room?

    The right color for your space depends on your personal taste and a few key factors: the room's lighting, your existing furnishings, and the mood you want to create. I'll guide you through the options, using my color decks to find the perfect shade you'll love for years to come.

  • Will you help me choose colors?

    That's a great question, and it's a very important part of the process. While I'm not a professional color consultant, I've helped countless homeowners find the right color. I'll provide you with all the necessary color decks and offer guidance based on my experience. Together, we can explore how different shades will look in your space and find a color that complements your existing furnishings and the mood you want to create.

  • What do I need to do to prepare my home for painting?

    You don't need to do much at all! To help the project run smoothly and efficiently, I only ask that you remove all items from the walls and move your furniture to the center of the room. We will take care of all the other preparation, including covering your furniture and floors, taping, patching, and any other prep work needed to guarantee a perfect finish.

  • Do you move and put back furniture?

    We can definitely work together on that. While I ask that you handle moving smaller items like pictures and light furniture, I'm more than happy to help you with any large or heavy furniture. My goal is to make the process as easy as possible for you.

  • What is your cleanup process once the job is complete?

    My cleanup process is simple: I make it my goal to leave your space cleaner than when I arrived. This includes carefully removing all drop cloths and plastic, sweeping and vacuuming floors, and ensuring all tools and materials are packed up and removed from your home. I believe a truly professional job isn't complete until the space is spotless and ready for you to enjoy.

  • Will you leave us with any leftover paint for touch-ups?

    Yes, absolutely. I will leave you with all of the leftover paint from your project for any future touch-ups you may need. I’ll make sure the containers are clearly labeled with the color name and where they were used.

  • What happens if I'm not satisfied with the work?

    Your complete satisfaction is my top priority. I'm not finished with the job until you are 100% happy with the final result. Before I pack up, we'll do a final walk-through together to inspect the work and address any final touches you'd like to see.
