Prep Process

The paint is the easy part.

Ninety percent of a paint job that lasts happens before the can is opened. Here's exactly how every True Coat project runs, start to finish.

  1. 01

    Walk-through & fixed quote

    Denise measures every surface, notes the prep work, and emails a fixed price within 48 hours. No hourly estimates, no surprises.

  2. 02

    Protect the house first

    Canvas drop cloths, taped-off trim, covered fixtures, and labeled hardware. The job site stays walkable and tidy every single day.

  3. 03

    Prep like it matters

    Scrape, sand, patch, and caulk. Spot-prime every repair. This is the part most painters skip — and the part you notice for years.

  4. 04

    Two finish coats, then a walk-through

    Premium paint, two full coats, sharp lines. We walk the finished work with you, touch up anything on the spot, and haul everything out.

Color Consultation

Choose colors on your walls, not a tiny paper strip.

Denise brings large-sample boards to your walk-through and tests finalists where they'll actually live — checking them in morning light, afternoon light, and lamplight before a single gallon is ordered.

  • Large samples brushed onto your actual walls in each room
  • Guidance on sheen — where eggshell, satin, and semi-gloss each belong
  • Coordinating trim, doors, and accent colors that hold up in person
  • Included free with every full-home project

Reviews

Charlotte homeowners, in their own words.

After: Kitchen cabinets refinished in Iron Ore Cabinet refinishing in Iron Ore · Ballantyne
“Our 1998 kitchen cabinets look factory-new. She labeled every door, bagged every hinge, and finished a day early. The quote she gave was the price we paid.”
Priya S. Ballantyne · Cabinet refinishing

“The lines where the wall meets the trim are straighter than the trim itself. Denise and her crew covered everything, and you would never know they were here when they left.”
Marcus W. Dilworth · Exterior + front door

“Three painters quoted our exterior. True Coat was the only one who talked about scraping and priming before paint. Two summers later, it still looks like the week they finished.”
