Three fields. Our office follows up to schedule.
Good paint jobs are mostly prep
Painting in Bozeman is mostly prep. Inside, that means filling nail holes, recaulking trim joints that open up in the dry winter air, and cutting clean lines at the ceiling. Outside, it means scraping, priming bare wood and replacing damaged trim before any paint goes on, because strong sun and repeated freeze-thaw cycles will lift paint off anything that was not prepared properly. We do the prep, the painting and the cleanup, with background-checked craftsmen and work guaranteed in writing for a year. Call (800) 884-2639 for an estimate.
Exterior painting has a short season here. Paint and stain need temperatures above the product's minimum through drying, and with snow possible from fall into late spring, that leaves roughly late spring to early fall. Big day-to-night temperature swings narrow the window further, so exterior projects are best booked early in the year.
At roughly 4,800 feet the sun is intense, and paint and stain on south- and west-facing walls, decks and fences fade and break down faster than on the shaded sides. Because we also do carpentry and drywall, damaged siding, trim and walls are repaired as part of the paint job rather than painted over.
What we paint
Painting services
Interior rooms
Walls and ceilings, with patching and caulking included so the room looks new, not just recolored.
Trim, doors and cabinets
Baseboard, casing, interior doors and kitchen or bath cabinets in durable enamel, including builder-grade trim in newer homes.
Front doors and entries
Entry doors refinished in a new color, with hardware removed and reinstalled.
Siding and trim
Wood and fiber cement siding, fascia and window trim scraped, primed and painted.
Decks and fences
Cedar and treated wood cleaned and stained or sealed during the warm months.
Repair before paint
Soft trim and siding boards replaced and drywall patched first, so new paint is not hiding a problem.
Sun, snow and dry air: what paint is up against here
Signs it is time
When it is time to repaint
Peeling or blistering
Paint lifting off siding or trim is letting water reach the wood underneath.
Chalky or faded walls
South and west sides fade and chalk fastest in high-altitude sun. Chalky paint rubs off on your hand.
Bare wood showing
Any exposed wood on siding or trim should be primed before the snow comes.
Scuffed trim and doors
High-traffic trim, mudroom walls and doors wear first and are an easy refresh with enamel.

Cost
What affects the cost of painting
Surface area and height
Two-story exteriors, stairwells and vaulted ceilings take more setup and time.
Prep and repairs
Scraping, trim repair and patching often take as long as the painting itself.
Color changes
Going from dark to light usually needs an extra coat.
Trim and detail
Lots of trim, windows and doors add cutting-in time, especially on older homes with original millwork.
