Peeling or flaking paint
Paint that lifts in sheets usually has moisture behind it or was originally applied over dirt. It has to be scraped back to sound paint everywhere before anything new goes on.

Painting and pressure washing in Carrollton, GA
Walls, trim and doors inside, siding and porches outside, and the house, deck and drive washed clean. Quoted the same way as the big jobs: free, in person, one price.
01Inside and out
Paint that looks right up close
Most painting calls we get are rooms inside, the siding and trim outside, or a house that mostly needs a good wash. Most of a good paint job is the work before the paint, from filling and caulking to scraping, and we quote it all as one price.
- Step 1
Wash
Dirt, mildew and red clay come off first, so the new paint has something clean to hold on to.
- Step 2
Scrape and fill
Loose paint is scraped away, holes and cracks are filled, and the trim joints are caulked tight.
- Step 3
Prime
Bare wood and every patch get primer, so the finish coats dry to an even color and an even sheen everywhere.
- Step 4
Two coats
Usually two finish coats go on, applied in dry weather so the paint can cure the way it should.
01
Interior painting
What it coversWalls, ceilings, trim and doors
Holes are filled, trim is caulked and the walls usually get two coats of paint. The floors and the furniture stay covered with drop cloths while we are working.
02
Deck and porch stain
What it coversDecks, rails, porch stairs and ceilings
A washed and completely dry deck or porch is stained to protect the wood from sun and rain. The stain also evens out the color between the older boards and any newer replacements.
03
Exterior painting
What it coversSiding, trim, doors and porches
Loose paint is scraped away and bare wood is primed before the finish coats go on. We paint outside in dry weather, because paint that cures properly usually lasts years longer.
04
Pressure washing
What it coversSiding, decks, drives and walks
Mildew, red clay and everyday grime are washed off the house, the deck and the drive. On wood and siding the pressure stays low enough not to tear up the surface.
02Pressure washing
How a house wash usually goes
- First
Wet the walls
A good house wash usually starts by wetting the walls and the plants along them. Wet siding takes the cleaner more evenly, and the flower beds underneath stay protected.
- Then
Clean at low pressure
Siding and wood get a lower pressure and the right cleaner for the surface. That combination lifts the dirt and mildew without tearing up the surface underneath.
- Last
Rinse and let it dry
Everything is rinsed thoroughly from the top down, so nothing streaks or leaves a residue behind. If paint or stain comes next, the surface needs to dry out completely first.
03What is your paint doing?
Signs the house needs paint or a wash
Humid summers, spring pollen and red clay splash all work on a house around Carrollton, Villa Rica, Douglasville and Newnan. These four signs usually show up first, on the shady side or the sunny one.
Chalky siding
Rub the siding with your hand, and if it comes away white, the paint has broken down in the sun, so a fresh coat usually goes on after a thorough wash and a full day of drying.
Ask about thisMildew on the shady walls
Green or black growth on the north side or under trees is usually mildew, living on the surface. A low-pressure wash with the right cleaner usually takes it off without harming the paint.
Ask about thisBare wood on the trim
Window sills, door trim and porch railings usually lose their paint first, because water sits on them. Bare wood left exposed to the weather usually starts to rot within a few seasons.
Ask about this04The quote
What changes the quote on paint?
A paint job is quoted on your house at the visit, because the prep work usually decides the price more than the paint itself does. These four things usually move the number the most, inside or outside the house.
One price for the whole job before any work starts, and nothing starts until you say yes.
- 1
Stories and size
A two-story house in Newnan needs ladders on every side, while a one-story ranch in Bowdon usually goes faster, because more wall usually means more paint, more ladders and more time.
- 2
Trim and detail
Windows, doors, shutters and porch rails are cut in by hand one edge at a time, so a house with a lot of decorative trim usually takes longer than one with plain walls.
- 3
Prep and wood repair
Peeling paint has to be scraped and bare wood primed before any finish goes on. Soft trim boards get replaced first, because paint will not hold on rotten wood for long.
- 4
A color change
Going from a dark color to a light one, or the other way around, usually takes an extra coat, so staying close to the color you have now is usually the least expensive choice.

07Questions
Painting and washing questions, answered
What homeowners usually ask before we paint or wash, and anything else you can ask Justin or Jacob when they come out.
Yes. We paint walls, ceilings, trim and doors inside the house, and siding, trim, doors and porches outside it. Painting is often the final step on our remodels and our siding repairs across West Georgia.
Not when it is done right, because siding and wood get a lower pressure and the right cleaner. The goal is to lift the dirt and mildew, not to strip the surface underneath.
Usually, yes, because paint holds far longer on a clean, dry surface. That is the reason our exterior paint jobs usually begin with a wash.
Yes. We wash the deck, let it dry out completely and then stain it. If any of the boards need replacing first, we tell you before we start the stain.
No. The quote is free, and we give it in person, usually the same day you call or the next day. You get one price for the whole job before anything starts, and nothing starts until you agree.
Yes. Our painting carries our 5-year workmanship warranty, which covers the way the work was done. If paint we applied fails because of our workmanship, we come back to it.
