Eight Steps. Every Project. No Exceptions.

We read the drawings and the specification before we price them. Takeoff, finish schedule review, access assessment, and an honest read on where painting sits in the schedule, including whether the duration being assumed is realistic.

Scope gaps cause more disputes than any finish issue. We walk the scope line with the general contractor before award, which surfaces, which side of the demising wall, whose doors, whose ceilings, and put the answer in the contract instead of discovering it during construction.

Product data, color schedules, and control samples are submitted early so approval is not on the critical path. Where a corporate prototype or brand standard governs, the schedule is verified against the brand book and substitutions flagged in writing before material is ordered.

Cleaning, profiling, moisture and adhesion testing where warranted, substrate repair, and priming to the manufacturer specification. Preparation is priced as its own line item so it is visible, and so a budget reduction is a decision not something that quietly happens.

Crews are staffed against the area release sequence rather than an ideal duration, with a dedicated project manager from mobilization through closeout. Where the schedule compresses, we add shifts and say what that requires, rather than accepting a date we cannot hit.

We run our own quality-control inspection ahead of the general contractor's walkthrough. Coverage, sheen uniformity, cut lines, and adjacent-surface condition are checked and corrected before anyone else is asked to look at the work.

Because the internal walk happened first, the punch list handed over is short. Items are corrected on a committed turnaround rather than trickling in behind the rest of the trades, which is what usually delays a certificate of occupancy.

Attic stock, the approved color schedule, product data, and the one-year workmanship warranty are delivered as a package at turnover. Warranty support continues after closeout. A call after closeout gets the same response as a call during construction.
