Why Would a Painter Offer Kitchen & Bathroom Renovations?

​

Painters get a bad reputation. And a lot of it is deserved. See, there are scores of commercial painters out there offering residential painting services and really making a mess of things for homeowners like yourself.  They're messy, loud, lack thoroughness, and care more about speed than quality. "Get in, get out, and get on to the next one", that's the commercial painter creed. Commercial painters give residential painters a bad name. 

 

But residential painters--the painters you would be glad to have working inside your home and are happy to refer to your family and friends--have an eye for detail, care about the long-term quality of their finished product, and are passionate about providing top-notch craftsmen services to their homeowner customers. And those attributes translate from painting to carpentry to cabinet installation, and beyond. The same skills that allow residential painters to control dust and protect floors when refinishing kitchen cabinets are the same skills necessary to protect your floors and control dust during the renovation of your kitchen, bathroom, or powder room. An eye for detail and a passion for quality are the attributes you want in a residential painter and in a renovation contractor. As experienced residential painters with experience renovating kitchens and bathrooms, we have both of those attributes. 

 

What's the Process of Renovating a Kitchen or Bathroom?

While each renovation is unique, all of our renovations begin in the same manner-- with a meeting between you and our design team professionals.  At that meeting, our design team professionals will discus with you, and help you to realize, your goals with to the space you want to renovate. Questions often include--what do you like about the current layout?  What do you hate about the current layout? What do you have to have? What do you not want? 

 

After that meeting, we will put together a plan for your space that includes a layout, timeline, and budget. From there, if necessary, we will begin the technical planning with an architect, or, if you already have plans, will pull the necessary permits and begin work.

Our Background as Residential Painters Helps Us In The Renovation Process

​

As residential painters, we understand the renovation process because, as the last trade on every construction project we paint, we understand how everything comes together in the end (or doesn't come together) and why. For example, we understand that if the framing is off, the drywall will be off and the tile or carpentry will never look the way it is supposed to.  Too many times we have been asked, as painters, to make something look good that just was not done properly by the prior trades. As the end user, you are the one who suffers and has to deal with the problem. 

 

As the last trade on each job, we know the many pitfalls that exist on a renovation project. And as kitchen and bathroom renovators, we work to avoid those pitfalls by being proactive at the beginning of each project and through each phase and trade as the project moves from start to closer and closer to completion.

 

But there are lots of contractors capable of that. So our eye for detail, passion for quality, and experience renovating kitchens and bathrooms are not the most important reasons you should consider us.

The Cleanest, Most Dustless Renovation Project You've Ever Seen

​

One last word on selecting a contractor to perform your kitchen or bathroom renovation. Dust. Dust is a nightmare for contractors and for homeowners. It gets everywhere. But it only gets everywhere when it isn't properly controlled. And we know how to control dust. It's what we do. 

​

Consider this scenario: you hire us to come into your home to refinish your dark stained cabinets and transform them into newly painted, factory-finished, painted enamel cabinets. As you can imagine, the process to prepare and paint kitchen cabinets creates a lot of dust--there's the sanding, the priming, the re-sanding, the spraying, the re-sanding again, and on and on. Not to mention the smell. But with plastic, paper, ducting, sanding vacuums, and highly efficient HEPA air scrubber machines, we are able to perform all of this work without any paint, dust, or fumes escaping our work area and migrating throughout the home. And this skillset translates perfectly to kitchen and bathroom renovations. Imagine a renovation without the mess. 

​

In fact, our experience in containing dust and debris at this level is simply unmatched by other general contractors who have never had to overcome the challenge of needing to contain and remove the copious amounts of dust created during in-home cabinet refinishing or spackle sanding. Don't get me wrong, the area inside the zone of containment is dusty and messy while work is ongoing. But that dust and mess just doesn't leave the work area. If you've ever had spackle work, cabinet work, or a renovation performed before, you know that this is not typical. Most contractors performing a kitchen or bathroom renovation are satisfied to simply hire a cleaning crew at the end of the project. But we're not most contractors.

 

On one renovation project several years ago, we were renovating the primary bedroom bathroom, and the customers were living in the home during the renovation. We sealed off the bathroom and every day during working hours we ran our machines to control and evacuate the dust. And each night our homeowner customer ran a finger across their bedroom dresser in search of dust, just to see if the dust containment was as effective as promised. And each night, for 6 weeks, their bedroom dresser was as clean during construction as it was before the renovation had begun. No dust escaped. It was like we weren't' even there--other than the fact that the bathroom was under construction. 

​

Now, this is not to suggest that every residential painter has the experience or capacity to contain all dust in the same way that we do. The HEPA air scrubbers, vacuum sanders, and other necessary equipment is expensive, and many residential painters are unwilling to invest in their companies to this same extent in an effort to control dust at this level. But we are, and we have. From spackle dust to wood sanding dust, we know how to contain it and control it so you don't have to live with it. It's what separates us from other residential painters and renovation contractors.
