How we do it
-
Prep is most of the job
Washing, filling, sanding and caulking is where the time goes and where the result comes from. Anyone quoting a fast price is quoting less prep.
-
Fix the reason it failed
Peeling in a bathroom is usually moisture or a missing primer, not bad paint. Repainting without addressing that just buys a year.
-
Prime what needs priming
Bare filler, stains and big color changes get primed. It's the difference between two coats and four.
-
Cut in properly
Clean lines at the ceiling, trim and corners, done by hand. This is the part people actually look at.
Questions worth asking
- How many coats?
- Two on most walls. Big color changes or covering a dark color can need a primer plus two, and we'll tell you at the quote rather than after.
- Do you move the furniture?
- We move what needs moving to the middle and cover it. Anything valuable or awkward, we'd rather agree in advance.
- Can you paint kitchen cabinets?
- Yes, and it transforms a kitchen for a fraction of replacing it. It's a slow job done properly — degreasing, sanding, priming and thin coats — so expect several days, not one.
Who does the work
- Andy Wiltjer and Scott Dykstra
- It's both of us on every job. No subcontractors.
- Insured, certificate on request
- Ask and we'll send a certificate of insurance before work starts.
- If we open it up and it's worse than the photo showed
- We stop and give you a new number before we keep going. You will never see an invoice you have not already agreed to.
What it costs
Every job is priced on its own. Text or email a photo of what you're looking at and we can usually give you a number without coming out — for bigger jobs we'll come and see it properly first.
You get the price before we start, not after.
Where we work
Anywhere within about 20 miles of Grandville, from Allendale across to Ada and from Comstock Park down to Byron Center. If you're just outside that, ask — we often say yes.
