FAQs

We take care of most of the prep for you. We’ll move lighter furniture as needed and carefully cover floors, furniture, and belongings with drop cloths and plastic. If possible, we recommend removing small or fragile items ahead of time, but you don’t need to empty the room completely. Our goal is to protect your home and make the process easy on you.

Most single rooms can be completed in one day, including prep, painting, and cleanup. Larger projects or full interior repaints typically take several days, depending on the number of rooms and any prep or repair work needed. We’ll give you a clear timeline during your free in-person estimate so you know exactly what to expect.

We use high-quality interior paints designed for durability, easy cleaning, and long-lasting color. Most modern interior paints are low-odor and low-VOC, making them safe for families and pets. The exact paint and finish (flat, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss) depends on the room, lighting, and how the space is used, and we’re happy to help guide those choices.

Ever wonder what goes into a flawless paint job?

At The Paint Doctor, we believe 90% of the magic is in the prep.

Before any color goes on your walls, we fill cracks and holes, sand rough spots, and ensure surfaces are clean and smooth. We protect floors and furniture and use painter’s tape or cutting-in techniques for sharp lines.

For exteriors, we take time to scrape loose paint and prime bare wood or stucco. This thorough preparation makes the paint finish smooth and ensures it adheres properly for longevity. Once prep is done, our experienced painters apply paint evenly and carefully, often in two coats for true, even color.

The result is a pristine finish that you’ll notice immediately – no streaks or missed spots, just beautiful, consistent color. With our process, you not only see the difference, you’ll have peace of mind that your paint will stand the test of time.

Wow factor alert! 🎉

We recently finished painting a beautiful home in Granite Bay, and the transformation is dramatic.

The house’s old exterior paint had faded and chipped, but now it boasts a fresh new color that makes it stand out on the block. We helped the homeowners choose a classic creamy taupe for the walls with crisp white trim – perfect for Granite Bay’s style.

Our team repaired a few areas of wood siding and stucco, ensured all surfaces were primed, and applied high-quality weather-resistant paint.

The result?

Major curb appeal and a happy homeowner. If your exterior needs a facelift, whether you’re in Granite Bay or anywhere in our service area, we’d love to deliver similarly stunning results for you!
