Choosing Your Paint

Economy paint ($45–$65/gal): lower material cost, but often needs 3 coats for proper coverage, which adds labour time.
Pro-grade paint ($85–$110+/gal): higher upfront cost, but covers smoothly in 2 coats, saving labour and lasting longer.
Finish: eggshell or satin is recommended for apartment walls. It is durable, washable and hides minor imperfections.

Surface Prep & Add-Ons

Standard prep included: light scuff sanding, minor nail hole patching, and surface dust removal.
Heavy damage repair: extensive drywall patching, gouges or peeling paint is billed hourly or per item.
Colour changes: bold or dark colours going to light neutrals need tinted primer coats to prevent bleed-through.
