Our services

Residential Services

Our residential work focuses on bringing long-lasting, high-end finishes to the places you use and love every day. Whether we’re painting walls, refinishing cabinets, or pre-finishing trim in our spray shop, we take the time to prep every surface and apply products the right way. The result is a cleaner finish, smoother surfaces, and durability you can count on.
High-ENd Interior Painting
High-end interior painting is one of the specialties we’re best known for. We take a prep-first approach, because proper prep is what separates a good paint job from a flawless one. We use only trusted paint lines—Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams—because your finish is only as good as the materials behind it. Whether we’re painting walls, ceilings, or detailed trim work, our team works cleanly and efficiently to keep your home protected and organized throughout the process. The final result is a smooth, consistent, durable finish that elevates your space and lasts for years.
What paint brands do you use?

We only use Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams paint. In our experience, using low-quality paint is never worth it in the long run.

What paint sheen do you recommend?

For trim, we recommend satin—semi-gloss is outdated. For walls, we've found that modern flats are scrub-friendly, and they prevent glare that distorts the color you worked hard to choose.

Cabinet Refinishing
Refinishing existing cabinets is one of the most cost-effective ways to transform a kitchen. Instead of replacing everything, you get a smooth, durable, factory-like finish that makes your cabinets look brand new. We remove doors and drawer fronts and spray them in our shop for the highest-quality finish. Cabinet bodies are refinished on-site using our detailed, step-by-step manual system. The result is a cleaner process, a shorter timeline, and a final product that looks high-end and professional.
What paint sheen do you recommend?

We recommend satin—higher gloss finishes end up looking dated.

Do you paint the inside of the cabinet?

No, unless the cabinet has a glass door.

Do you spray on-site?

We spray doors in the shop; frames are finished on-site with a proven manual system.

Pre-Finishing doors & Trim
Pre-finishing your doors and trim in our spray shop creates a smoother, higher-end finish than traditional on-site painting. Builders who switch to pre-finishing quickly see the difference in both quality and efficiency. With controlled conditions, better drying time, and professional spray equipment, we deliver a consistent finish that simply isn’t achievable by hand in the field. It saves time on the job site and produces a cleaner final product.
Can you stain and clear coat?

Yes. In addition to paint finishes, we can also stain or clear coat your doors, cabinets, or trim.

Do you provide pickup and delivery?

No, all materials to be finished must be dropped off at our shop.

Do you negotiate on price?

No. Quality takes time, proper prep, and expert labor, none of which can be compromised or rushed.

When can you get started on my project?

Once you accept a quote and place a deposit, we'll add your project to our schedule. Reach out to Pops for more specifics about availability and scheduling.

Do you remove popcorn ceilings?

No, that is not a service that we offer.

Our house was built before 1982—can you work on it?

Unfortunately, no. Due to possible exposure to lead paint or asbestos, we do not work on properties contructed before 1982.
