Our Three Step Painting Process

01

Prep and Protect

We begin by covering floors, furniture, and fixtures to protect your space. Surfaces are cleaned, holes or cracks are filled, and everything is sanded smooth. Good prep work helps the paint go on evenly and last longer.

02

Prime and Paint

Once everything is prepped, we apply primer if needed, then follow with clean, even coats of paint. We use steady brush and roller techniques, paying attention to corners, edges, and details for a smooth and consistent finish.

03

Review and Wrap Up

After the paint dries, we remove coverings, reinstall hardware, and clean up the area. Then we walk through the job with you to check for any spots that need touch-up. We don’t leave until everything looks right.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you use interior primer under exterior paint?
No, interior primer is not formulated for exposure to outdoor elements. Use an exterior-grade primer for durability and weather resistance.
Use a degreaser such as TSP (trisodium phosphate) or a suitable TSP substitute. It effectively removes grease, grime, and residue to help paint stick better.
Yes, you can stain a deck in the fall if temperatures stay between 50°F and 85°F and the weather is dry. Avoid staining right before rain or freezing nights.
Yes, but apply a second coat only if the first coat is fully dry and the wood can absorb more stain. Over applying can lead to blotching or peeling.
Sherwin Williams Emerald paint typically costs $75 to $95 per gallon, depending on the finish and store location. Prices may vary during sales or with contractor discounts.

Update - deeply disappointed that I asked for a quote for another area of my home and they are no longer responding to me. Even if they didn't want the job, should have the courtesy to say sorry we can't do it. First time I have hired a painter and I can promise, I will never paint a room myself again. Marc Sr. Is great, and Jr came to the rescue to help move some heavy furniture. I will definitely use them again and again.

Jim, Dave and crew did a great job painting our entire home and new room above the garage so we could put it on the market. They got the job done ahead of schedule and our home sold in 1 day on the market above asking price. Thanks so much.

Marc and his team did an AMAZING job in refinishing very old kitchen cabinets that I have in a finished basement. The cabinets were probably 35 years old. They replaced the bases which were rotted and then completely sanded/stripped down and refinished, as well as replacing the hardware. I would highly recommend Marc and his team as they are responsive, thorough, and their prices are very fair.

It was a pleasure and a great choice to hire MJ painting. I interviewed five different companies before hiring them. They did the aluminum trim of my house, which is a deep cranberry. And scraped and repainted my patio roof. I am already looking to hire them back to paint my whole house next year. Thank you for your professionalism, and I look forward to working with you again!

What a professional job by MJ's Painting! They painted the exterior columns on our front porch. They sanded the door and applied a primer. They washed and painted the porch. This is the best our front porch has looked in a long time.

Mark came and assessed the situation. He was very professional. I had plaster work, tobacco remediation issues, and peeling ceilings. Mark and crew did a FANTASTIC job. they went above and beyond, replacing or painting switch plates, painting the heating and cooling vents, and paying attention to details. A primer and two coats of paint on each surface, I could not be more pleased. He even had a gap in his schedule and was able to start the following week!

Never finished what was agreed upon by Marc Sr and myself. It will be 3 yrs in April and Marc Jr has ghosted me. They did the work I wasnt happy with the way cabinets came out and they were accommodating at the time said they would try a few different things. When Marc Sr exhausted all that he could do, we verbally agreed with Jr present that they would replace my cabinets doors. Marc Sr said we want to make you happy since you gar invested alot of money to your new kitchen. I appreciated that. Marc Sr has since retired. Marc Jr came last December 2023 to measure cabinets sent me email with door selection and I havent heard from him since. I have called and left messages and emailed with no response. I will add I had my husband call from his cell and Marc Jr answered and was like oh yeah I know there are cabinet doors at shop forgot they were for you. But when I call no one answers. And guess what havent seen or heard from them since. Very very disappointing. Had our entire kitchen redone and my cabinets look awful. I am an easy going person but this is so unprofessional not to return calls or messages.
