Reno is our home market, and its high-desert climate is brutal on paint. At 4,500 feet, UV radiation is intense year-round; Washoe Valley winds scour west-facing walls; summer temperatures swing 40 degrees between dawn and afternoon; and winter brings freeze-thaw cycles that crack poorly prepped coatings. A Reno paint job has to be engineered, not just applied.
Reno's neighborhoods each demand a different approach. Midtown's vintage bungalows and older homes need careful prep over aged siding and trim. South Reno's newer subdivisions need crisp, modern finishes — often with HOA color approvals. Northwest Reno and Old Southwest mix character homes with new builds, each with its own substrate and exposure challenges. We read every house before touching a brush.
On Reno exteriors, we specify tougher prep: full wash, chalk and oxidation stripped, hairline stucco cracks and damaged wood repaired, and a complete prime coat so the finish bonds instead of just sitting on dust. We use premium Sherwin-Williams coatings formulated for UV and thermal cycling, because Reno's sun doesn't negotiate.
Pro Tip: South- and west-facing fascia takes the worst of Reno's high-desert UV. It needs a full prime coat plus two finish coats — a single pass won't hold.

Inside, our interior painting delivers the sharp lines and uniform coverage that make rooms feel new. Our cabinet refinishing is a Reno favorite: dated kitchens get a sprayed, factory-smooth finish in days, at a fraction of replacement cost. And our epoxy floors are ideal for Reno's garages and workshops — dust-proof, chemical-resistant, and easy to sweep clean.
Pro Tip: Never paint when the surface is below ~35°F or above ~90°F. Coatings won't bond or cure properly outside that window.

In Reno's high desert — intense UV, wind, and freeze-thaw cycles — most exteriors need repainting every 7 to 10 years. Our process — thorough prep, premium primer, and UV-rated Sherwin-Williams topcoats — pushes that to a full decade, backed by our 10-year warranty.
Yes. Many Reno neighborhoods, especially in South Reno and newer subdivisions, have HOA color requirements. We'll help you select compliant colors and supply the documentation your HOA needs before work begins.
Yes, with smart scheduling. We monitor temperatures and use coatings formulated for cold-weather application. Exterior work pauses during hard freezes, but interior painting, cabinet refinishing, and epoxy floors continue year-round.
Late spring through early fall is ideal — air and surface temperatures stay in the 45°F to 85°F range and coatings cure properly. We monitor conditions closely and never paint outside safe temperature windows.
It's covered. If the finish fades or chalks prematurely due to prep or product failure, we re-prep and recoat the affected areas at no cost — that's the warranty in writing.
We seal off work zones with plastic sheeting, use HEPA-filtered sanders and daily HEPA vacuuming, and keep the rest of the home clean. Most clients stay in the house comfortably while we work.
