At Southern Painting, a lasting paint job is as much about the process as it is about the paint itself. Knowing what to expect can put your mind at ease when hiring our team to work in your home.

The Southern Painting Process: Step by Step

The First Conversation and In-Home Estimate

It all begins with a simple call to your local Southern Painting team. We listen carefully to understand the scope of your project and your specific goals. An in-home estimate is scheduled at a time that respects your day, allowing us to walk through your home together and discuss your vision. During this walkthrough, we identify any problem areas, like peeling paint, failed caulking, surface damage, or rotten wood.

You will receive a clear, written estimate that outlines the project scope and any exclusions. Everything is upfront, with no high-pressure tactics. This transparency sets the stage for a comfortable, informed decision.

Thorough Preparation

Preparation is the foundation of every paint job. For exterior projects, we start with power washing to remove dirt and mildew. We then address any peeling paint, ensuring a smooth surface by scraping where needed. Priming follows, with attention given to caulking and sealing gaps to ensure weather resistance. Any repairs to problem areas are made before a single drop of color goes on.

Our meticulous approach ensures that your paint will adhere properly and withstand the elements, providing a lasting finish.

During the Job

When the project begins, our team takes every precaution to treat your home with the utmost respect. Furniture is moved and covered, and floors are carefully protected. We maintain a clean and organized work area to minimize disruption.

Communication is key, and we keep you informed throughout the project. At the end of each day, we send you photos, allowing you to track progress even if you’re at work. This proactive approach ensures you are always in the loop and can see how the project is taking shape.

The Finish

Once the final coat is applied, we conduct a thorough walkthrough with you. We address any touch-ups needed to ensure your satisfaction with the completed work. Your happiness with the end result is our priority.

We leave behind labeled touch-up paint for your future use, ensuring you can easily maintain your home’s pristine appearance.

After the Job

Even after we’ve packed up and left, our commitment to your home continues. Our transferable 3-year limited labor warranty stands behind our work, offering you peace of mind. Whether you’re living in your home or planning to sell, this warranty reassures you and any potential buyers that quality craftsmanship is assured.

Since we’re locally owned and operated, our team remains available should any issues arise. You have a neighborhood partner in Southern Painting, committed to your satisfaction long after the job is done.
