Eight services, done to one standard.

Walls, ceilings, trim, doors and cabinetry. Most of the time on an interior paint job goes into what happens before the color does — filling nail holes, sanding patches flush, caulking gaps at the trim and masking everything that isn't getting painted.

That's what makes the difference between a room that looks freshly painted and a room that looks like it was always that way: straight cut lines at the ceiling, no roller marks in raking light, and hardware that goes back on clean.

• Walls, ceilings, baseboards, casings and crown
• Doors, door frames and cabinetry refinishing
• Drywall patching, sanding and caulking before primer
• Floors, fixtures and furniture covered and protected

Ceramic and porcelain tile for floors, showers, backsplashes and entryways. Tile is unforgiving about what's underneath it, so the substrate gets checked for flat and solid first — a floor that flexes will crack grout no matter how well the tile was set.

Layout gets planned before the first tile goes down so cuts land where you won't stare at them, and so the lines stay square from one end of the room to the other.

• Floor tile, shower and tub surrounds, backsplashes
• Substrate prep, leveling and waterproofing where needed
• Planned layout, consistent joints and clean cuts
• Grout, seal and transition strips at every doorway

Fixture work and the supply and drain lines behind it — sinks, faucets, toilets, tubs, showers and the connections that feed them. Plumbing is also the first thing that has to happen on most kitchen and bathroom remodels, before anything gets closed up or tiled over.

Water gets shut down, tested and turned back on the same day wherever the scope allows, so you're not living around an open wall longer than necessary.

• Faucet, sink, toilet, tub and shower fixture replacement
• Supply and drain line work
• Rough-in for kitchen and bathroom remodels
• Leak checks before walls and floors are closed up

Siding, driveways, walkways, patios, decks and fences washed back down to the color that's actually under there. Pressure gets matched to the surface — concrete takes what vinyl siding and painted wood will not, and using the same setting on both is how siding gets scarred.

It's also the step that decides how long exterior paint lasts. Washing before painting isn't an upsell; it's the reason the coating bonds.

• Siding, brick, stucco and painted surfaces
• Driveways, walkways, patios and porches
• Decks, fences and railings
• Pre-paint washing as part of an exterior job
