The prep is
the paint job.
Two estimates for the same room differ because one includes filling, sanding, caulking and priming and the other does not. The paint is the cheap part, and it is not what fails.

How we work
A painting company that itemises the preparation
CG LLC is a limited liability company, document number [FLORIDA DOCUMENT NUMBER]. Where local registration of painting contractors applies, the company holds [LOCAL CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION NUMBER], and carries general liability and workers compensation insurance with a certificate available before work begins.
Two things we will not do. We will not paint over a moisture problem, failed caulking or rot and then warranty the finish — the coating will fail whatever product is used, and we would rather tell you the cause than take the job twice. And in properties built before 1978 we follow the EPA lead-safe rules under firm certification [EPA LEAD-SAFE CERTIFICATION NUMBER], including contained work areas and the required information pamphlet before starting.
Frequently asked
The questions we get most
Why is your estimate higher than the other one?
Usually because ours lists the preparation and theirs does not. Ask the cheaper quote what filling, sanding, caulking and priming is included — the answer explains the difference.
Can you just paint over this water stain?
Not until we know what caused it. Coating over active moisture fails within a season, and then it looks like the paint was the problem. We will tell you if a leak needs another trade first.
My house was built in 1965. Does that matter?
Yes. Work disturbing paint in pre-1978 properties falls under the EPA lead-safe rules — contained work areas, specific practices and an information pamphlet before we start. Any firm that ignores that is cutting a legal corner.
Why did my painted cabinets peel?
Almost always grease. Cooking residue cannot be primed over, so degreasing and sanding is the real work. It is the most common failure in cabinet painting.
Can you paint the exterior this week?
Only if the weather allows it. Products have temperature and humidity limits on the data sheet, and applying outside them is how a coating fails early. We will reschedule rather than rush it.
Do you guarantee the paint will last?
We stand behind our workmanship on the terms in the estimate. We cannot warranty against substrate moisture, structural movement or someone else's work, and we will say which is which before starting.
