Painting costs typically range from $2.50–$4.50 per square foot for interior work and $1.80–$3.50 per square foot for exterior painting.

Yes — completely free, no obligation. Boomer comes to your property, evaluates the scope of work, and provides a written estimate with a clear breakdown of materials, labor, and timeline.

Always. Every estimate is documented in writing so you know exactly what you are getting and at what price. No surprises, no hidden fees.

We typically schedule new projects within 1–2 weeks of signing. Emergency or damage-related work can often be prioritized.

Not necessarily. Many homeowners prefer to be away during painting. We are fully insured and trustworthy, and we can work independently once access is arranged. For interior projects, many homeowners prefer to be present initially — entirely your choice.

We primarily use Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore. These professional-grade paints offer superior coverage, durability, and color retention — essential for Alabama's humid climate. We can accommodate specific brand preferences if needed.

For exteriors, we recommend 100% acrylic latex paints with mildew resistance and UV protection. For interiors, moisture-resistant paints in high-humidity areas like bathrooms and kitchens. Our 25+ years of experience in this climate means we select the right product for every surface.

We provide all materials — paint, primer, and supplies — as part of our service. This ensures we use the correct professional-grade products in the right quantities. If you have specific preferences or already purchased paint, we are happy to work with your materials.

Proper preparation is the foundation of a lasting paint job. For interiors: we fill holes and cracks, sand surfaces, tape off trim, and protect flooring before painting. For exteriors: pressure washing, scraping loose paint, sanding, caulking all gaps and cracks, and spot-priming bare wood.

Yes — we move furniture to the center of the room and cover it. After the job is done, we return everything to its original position and do a thorough cleanup.

We apply primer where needed plus two full finish coats on all surfaces. Some surfaces or dramatic color changes may require additional preparation, which we will discuss during your estimate.
