Local painter · [Your town]
Interior and exterior painting done the slow, careful way — walls patched and sanded first, edges cut by hand, floors covered, everything put back where it was. You come home to a room that finally feels finished.
Recent work
A few jobs from the last couple of seasons. Every one of these started as a tired, scuffed, patchy space and ended as somewhere the family actually wanted to sit. Swap these photos for your own — the layout takes any mix of wide and square shots.
What we do
Most jobs are one of these. If yours isn't on the list, it's probably still a yes — ask. Rates for all of it are on the pricing page, and the paint calculator will tell you how much paint a room needs.
Walls, ceilings, hallways, stairwells, bedrooms, kitchens. We fill every nail hole and crack, sand the patches flush, spot-prime so the repair doesn't flash through the topcoat, then two full coats of the colour you picked. Furniture moved and put back, floors sheeted, sockets and switches taped off.
Render, brick, weatherboard, fascia, soffits, doors and garage doors. The prep is most of the job: washing off the grime, scraping and sanding loose paint, treating bare timber, priming what's thirsty. Then a finish that stands up to a proper winter instead of peeling by spring.
Skirting, architraves, door frames, window reveals, banisters, built-in cupboards. This is the work people notice and the work most painters rush. Hand-cut edges, no paint on the glass, no brush marks where you'll see them.
Hanging paper properly — lined, matched, seams tight — or painting a single wall in a bolder colour so a room has somewhere to look. Happy to talk through which wall actually wants it before you commit.
If you're stuck between three near-identical off-whites, that's normal. We'll bring the fan decks, look at the room's light at different times of day, and put sample patches on the wall so you can live with a colour for a week before anyone commits to it.
Water stains, hairline cracks, scuffs from moving furniture, a patch where a shelf came down. Sometimes it's a half-day job rather than a full repaint, and we'll tell you honestly when that's the case.
How it goes
Tell us roughly what you're thinking — which rooms, inside or out, and when you'd like it done. A photo or two on your phone is plenty to start with.
Someone walks the space with you, checks the surfaces, spots the repairs that need doing, and talks through colours and finishes. No charge, no obligation.
One clear price covering labour, prep and materials, with what's included spelled out. If something changes mid-job, you hear about it before it costs you anything.
Furniture moved, floors covered, edges taped, holes filled, surfaces sanded and cleaned. This is the part you can't see in the finished photos and the part that decides how it looks in two years.
Two coats as standard, cut in by hand, working room by room so you're never living in a building site. We keep the site tidy every evening.
Before we pack up, you go round with us. Anything you're not happy with gets fixed there and then — not argued about later.
About
Franks Painting is a local painting business working on homes — the kind of place where you deal with the same person from the first phone call to the final walk-round. No rotating crews, no subcontracted strangers in your hallway.
We take on a limited number of jobs at a time on purpose. It means we're not rushing to the next one, the prep gets the hours it needs, and if you ring with a question three weeks later you get an answer rather than a voicemail.
Most of our work comes from people whose neighbours or friends we've painted for. That's the whole marketing plan, and it only works if the finish is right.
[Add a short paragraph here about you — how long you've been painting, where you trained, what you like about the work. Two or three sentences in your own voice is perfect.]
Questions
A single room is usually a day or two once prep is counted. A whole house interior typically runs to a week or more depending on size, how much repair work there is, and how many colours you've picked. Exteriors depend on the weather — we'll give you a realistic window in the quote rather than an optimistic one.
No. We move what needs moving and push the rest to the middle of the room under sheeting. Fragile or sentimental things are worth taking out yourself, and we'll tell you in advance if a room needs to be properly emptied.
Yes — it's included in the quote, and we'll recommend a specific product for each surface rather than whatever's cheapest. If you'd rather buy your own, that's fine too and we'll adjust the price.
Gladly. It's the part people find hardest and the part that makes the biggest difference. We'll put sample patches on your actual walls so you can see the colour in your light, morning and evening, before anything is committed.
Floors covered, furniture sheeted, tools packed away at the end of each day. We take the masking tape off cleanly and leave the room ready to use. You shouldn't be able to tell we were there, except for the walls.
Yes, fully insured. Happy to send the details through with your quote.
