Our process, from the first conversation to a clean finish
A good paint job should not feel mysterious. You should know what happens after you reach out, what you will be asked, and when the house is actually going to be painted.
This is the path we follow. It starts with looking at the work and talking it through. It moves to a visit and a verbal price. If you need a written proposal, that is when the proposal fee applies. And it ends with a scheduled job, careful preparation, and a home that is cleaned up and ready to live in again.
01
Look at the work
Start with the portfolio on this site, and with our Instagram reels at @leosdmvpainting if you want to see the work in motion. This is the time to get a feel for how we paint — the prep, the clean lines, and the way a room comes together — and to picture what that could mean in your own home.
02
Talk it through on the phone
When you are ready, we schedule a phone conversation. You can tell us what is bothering you about the space, what you hope it will feel like, and any timing that matters. We use that call to understand your expectations, share our availability, and decide together whether an in-person visit is the right next step.
03
A complimentary in-person estimate
If we move forward, we come to the home and look at the work with you, at no charge for the visit. Walking the rooms together helps us see the surfaces, the access, and the details a photo can miss. After that visit, we will give you a verbal price grounded in the actual house — not a guess from afar.
04
A written proposal, if you need one
If you need a written proposal, a fee of $80 to $250 applies, depending on the scope of the work. That fee is fully credited back if you book the project. The proposal is there so you can see the plan and the price in writing, with no hidden fees, before anyone brings a brush into your home.
05
Book the work and get ready
When you electronically sign the proposal, the project is scheduled and booked. Before the first work day, you receive a questionnaire so we have the details we need — access, colors, and anything that will help the day run smoothly. From there, we prepare, protect the home, and follow the work through to a clean finish.
What the work itself looks like
Once the proposal is signed and the questionnaire is back, we come prepared to protect the home. Floors and furnishings are covered. Surfaces are prepped for clean lines. Then we paint, using premium paints and materials from trusted suppliers, and we keep a clean work environment while we are there.
When the job is complete, we walk through the finished work with you, then do a thorough cleanup and hand the home back so the space is left ready to enjoy. Interior work is backed by a three-year warranty, and exterior work by a two-year warranty.
