FAQ — Silmar Painting | Connecticut Painting Contractor

Question 1

What painting services does Silmar Painting offer?

Question 2

Do you paint kitchen and bathroom cabinets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cabinet painting is one of our most popular services. We properly prepare, prime, and paint cabinets to a smooth factory-like finish — a cost-effective alternative to full cabinet replacement. We work with all cabinet styles and materials.

Question 3

Do you offer wallpaper installation and removal?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We install all types of wallpaper including peel-and-stick, traditional paste, grasscloth, and specialty wallcoverings. We also handle full wallpaper removal and wall prep before painting.

Question 4

Can you help me choose paint colors?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Our color consultation service helps you select the right colors for your space, lighting, and style. We bring samples, discuss your vision, and guide you through the selection process so you feel confident before a single brush stroke.

Question 5

How do you price an interior painting project?

Accepted Answer

Every interior project is priced based on the specific scope of work — room size, ceiling height, surface condition, number of colors, and any prep work required. We provide a free, detailed written estimate after visiting your home so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.

Question 6

How do you price an exterior painting project?

Accepted Answer

Exterior pricing depends on the size of your home, siding material, number of stories, and the extent of surface preparation needed. We offer free on-site estimates so you get an accurate, all-inclusive quote specific to your property.

Question 7

How do you price cabinet painting?

Accepted Answer

Cabinet painting is priced based on the number of cabinet doors and drawer fronts, the level of prep required, and the finish quality requested. Contact us for a free quote — cabinet painting is a cost-effective way to transform your kitchen or bathroom without a full renovation.

Question 8

Is the estimate free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all estimates are completely free with no obligation. We visit your home, assess the scope of work, and provide a detailed written quote — typically within 24 hours of our visit.

Question 9

What is included in your price?

Accepted Answer

Every quote includes all labor, materials, surface preparation, primer, premium paint, and full cleanup. We use top-quality paints from Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore. There are no hidden fees — the price you receive is the price you pay.

Question 10

What does your painting process look like?

Accepted Answer

We start with a thorough surface preparation — cleaning, sanding, filling holes, and priming as needed. We protect your floors, furniture, and trim with drop cloths and tape. We apply paint in multiple coats for a durable, even finish, then do a final walkthrough with you before we leave.

Question 11

How far in advance should I book?

Accepted Answer

We recommend booking a few weeks in advance, especially during spring and summer when demand is highest. Fall and winter often have more availability and can be a great time to schedule interior work.

Question 12

Do I need to move my furniture before you arrive?

Accepted Answer

We ask that you remove small personal items and valuables from the work area. Our crew handles moving and protecting larger furniture with drop cloths. We leave your home clean and tidy at the end of every workday.

Question 13

Do you offer a warranty on your work?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We stand behind our work with a two-year craftsmanship warranty on all painting projects. If any issues arise from our workmanship within that period, we will return and make it right at no cost to you.

Question 14

What paint brands do you use?

Accepted Answer

We use premium paints from industry-leading brands including Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore. We select the right product for each surface and environment — interior, exterior, cabinets, and specialty applications each require different formulations.
