Common Questions From Kensington Homeowners

How long does a typical painting project take?

Most residential painting projects take between two and five days, depending on the size of the home, preparation needs, and whether the work is interior or exterior. More detailed or historic projects may take longer. Our team can provide a more specific timeframe during an on-site estimate.


Do I need to leave my home while painting is being done?

In most cases, no. Interior projects are typically completed in stages so you can remain in the home, though we recommend keeping pets and children away from active work areas. Exterior painting generally does not require you to leave, but access points may be temporarily limited.


How do you protect historic details and finishes?

We use careful preparation techniques, protective coverings, and daily cleanup routines to safeguard trim, flooring, and architectural features throughout the project.


Who will be working in my home?

Our painters are employees, not subcontractors. This ensures consistent workmanship, clear communication, and crews experienced with the expectations of Kensington homeowners.

Our Process

A successful painting project starts with clear communication and careful preparation. Our process is designed to protect your home, keep the job organized, and deliver results that last in coastal environments.

  • On-Site Consultation

    We start with a walkthrough of your home to understand your goals, review surface conditions, and note any preparation or repairs that may be needed. This allows us to provide a clear scope of work, a realistic timeline, and an accurate estimate before the project begins.


  • Preparation and Protection

    Before painting begins, we take the time to properly prepare each surface. This includes cleaning, repairing, sanding, and priming as needed, along with protecting landscaping, flooring, and nearby areas throughout the home.


  • Professional Painting Application

    Our painters apply coatings using proven techniques and high-quality materials suited for coastal conditions. Whether the project is interior or exterior, the focus is on even coverage, clean lines, and a finish that holds up over time.


  • Keeping the Job Organized

    We maintain a clean, organized job site and complete daily cleanup so your home remains safe and comfortable during the project. Our team communicates progress throughout the job and is available to answer questions along the way.


  • Final Walkthrough

    Once the painting is complete, we walk the space with you to review the finished work. Any final touch-ups are addressed promptly so the project is completed to your expectations.
