Paint Before You Move In
Whole-home move-in repaints, timed around your closing date while the house is still empty and every wall is easy to reach.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 on Google (90+ Reviews) · Licensed & Insured · 3-Year Workmanship Guarantee
There's a Small Window Between Closing and Moving Day. Use it.
Once your furniture is in the house, everything about a repaint gets harder; moving couches, protecting belongings, working around daily life. Before you move in, none of that is a factor. We can work faster, get into every corner without obstruction, and hand you a home that's already yours in color, not just on paper.
Because the whole point is starting fresh in an empty home, we take on move-in projects as whole-home repaints, not single rooms. It's the one window where doing the entire home at once is actually the easier path, not the bigger one.
What's Included in Every Move-In Project
So there's nothing left to figure out after closing.
Surface prep: nail holes filled, caulking refreshed, sanding where needed, bare spots primed
Two coats of premium paint for full, even coverage
Low-odor Sherwin-Williams® and Benjamin Moore® premium interior coatings
Whole-home scheduling built around your closing date
Cleaned up and tidy before we leave each evening
3-Year Workmanship Guarantee, in writing
A Healthier Start in Your New Home
We use Sherwin-Williams Emerald® and Duration®, and Benjamin Moore Aura® and Regal Select® — the same low-odor, premium interior lines we use on every project. Moving into a freshly painted home shouldn't mean living with strong fumes for days. These coatings are built to look right and clear out fast, so you're not delaying move-in day around a smell.
The Move-In Repaint Process
Every step is built around one fixed date: your closing.
Free Estimate: Reach out and we'll get back to you the same day. We'll walk through timing with you, your closing date, moving date, and how much runway we have in between.
Scheduling Around Your Closing: Because this window is often tight, tell us your dates as early as possible. We'll do everything we can to make the timeline work.
Prep Before Paint: With the home empty, we prep every surface fully with no furniture to work around, no rooms to leave for later.
Efficient, Whole-Home Work: The crew moves through the entire home in one coordinated pass, taking full advantage of the empty space.
Final Walkthrough: Before we hand the home back to you, we walk it together to make sure everything's right and ready for moving day.
What Summerville Homeowners Are Saying
Jessica Kulas
Chris and his team did such a great job painting our new home! They were quick, polite, and easy to work with. There were a few small imperfections that they were able to come back out and fix up the next day as well. Would recommend using them!
Wesley Springer
Great workers, Chris and his team came in walked us through all the steps and the pricing of getting the whole house painted which was very helpful. Then they went to work doing not only a great job but finishing way sooner than expected, outstanding experience.
Alex Huffman
Chris and his crew did an impeccable job on our entire home (dry wall repair, painting ceiling, baseboards, walls). They were professional and efficient. The caliber of work done makes this a company a above the rest!

FAQs
Why paint before moving in instead of after?
An empty home lets us work faster and more precisely with nothing to move out of the way and full access to every wall. Most homeowners find it's easier to paint before the boxes arrive than to do it around daily life afterward.
Do you paint single rooms for move-in projects, or only whole homes?
We take on move-in projects as whole-home repaints. Since the house is empty for a short window, it's the one time doing the entire home at once is actually simpler than doing it room by room.
How far in advance should I schedule?
As soon as you have a closing date. Move-in timelines are often tight, and the earlier we know your dates, the better we can build the schedule around them.
What paint brands do you use?
We use Sherwin-Williams Emerald® and Duration®, and Benjamin Moore Aura® and Regal Select® — low-odor, premium interior lines that won't leave you waiting to move in around strong fumes.
What does the 3-Year Guarantee cover?
Peeling, bubbling, or flaking caused by application. If you notice a problem, contact us within 30 days and we'll come back out.
