Possibly, the best use of the # years on a warranty is to determine the quality of that product. The higher the # years under warranty the most likely the higher the quality of the product. Typically, these warranties are non-transferable and most home owners move every 7 years. Another fact to consider is that if the product is found to be defective by the manufacturer it only includes the replacement of the paint not the labor.

We’re just that much better. No, Brush Masters frequently checks its pricing models to ensure that we are in line with others companies providing the same level of painting, drywall, or pre-finishing services.
A professional painter can prep, cut-in twice, roll walls twice, and de-prep an average room in about 4 hours. The average wage for a painter is around $18.75 plus $40 for 2 gallons of paint and $10 in supplies equals $125 without including insurance or other business costs. A painter offering this low price is cutting corners somewhere and it is not in the best interest of the purchaser or painter to operate this way.
The majority of our bids include paint and materials. Please refer to your estimate or contact at Brush Masters if you have any questions.
Interior – Please move any furniture away from the area(s) to be finished; remove items from the walls; most of our bids will include prep work such as taping off woodwork and repaired small imperfections.
Exterior – If you have a particular plant, flower, or area that you want protected please move it away from the home if you can; most of our bids will include power washing and protecting areas on the ground.
If you find a color you like we can match it in almost any product.
You can use most cleaners on your enameled or stained woodwork. Moisture levels are important to watch (especially around wood windows). Scratches and dullness can be refreshed using a product such as Aulwood wood refinisher found at your local home improvement store.
Use light circular strokes beginning at the center of a stain and work outwards. Too much pressure might leave a burnish in the finish or shiny spot on your wall.
Brush Masters is a Certified Lead Contractor which means we have been through the proper training and will take care of your project in the manner specified by lead paint laws.
In Spring and Fall check for any signs of wear such as:
- Hairline cracks in the top coat of finish.
- Changes in the color of the finish.
- Changes in the texture of the finish, such as flaking or scaling.
- Dullness or chalkiness in the finish.
A light sand and re-coat once or twice a year in the spring and fall will go a long way in preventing large costs in the future to fix damage.
Brush Masters uses high quality products from local suppliers including: Sherwin Williams, Hirshfields, Valspar, PPG, and ICI.
