What we do most

Exterior Painting

The paint is the cheap part. What decides whether a house still looks good in five years is everything that happens before the first coat: the loose paint scraped back, the bare wood primed, the gaps caulked. The house in these photos had paint peeling off in sheets when we got there. We take the whole exterior — siding, trim, soffits, doors, porch floors and fences — across Knoxville, Maryville, Lenoir City, Sevierville and Jefferson City.

Scraped and prepped first

Loose and peeling paint comes off and bare wood gets primed before anything else. Painting over failing paint just buys you a year.

Siding, trim and soffits

The whole envelope, not just the walls you see from the street. Trim and soffits are where the weather gets in first.

Doors, porches and porch floors

A front door and a porch floor change how the whole house reads, and they are the two surfaces that take the most abuse.

Before you replace it

Roof Painting & Coating

Most metal roofs get replaced years before they need to be. The panels are fine; it is the coating that gave out, and that is a paint problem, not a roof problem. The building in these three photos is the same one, on three different days: faded and blotchy, halfway through, and finished. Cleaned, primed and recoated for a fraction of what a tear-off costs. If your metal roof is chalky, streaked or just the wrong color, call before you call a roofer.

Washed and prepped

Chalk, dirt and loose coating come off first. Coating over chalk is how a roof job peels in a year.

Primed where it needs it

Rust spots and bare metal get treated before the topcoat goes on.

Sprayed and rolled

Sprayed for coverage and back-rolled where it matters, so the finish is even across the whole run instead of streaky at the seams.

Inside work

Interior Painting

Inside, the job is half painting and half protecting the house you already live in. Floors get covered, furniture gets moved and wrapped, and edges get cut in by hand instead of hoping tape does it. Ceilings are their own skill — they show every roller mark and every missed spot the moment the light hits them.

Everything masked before we start

Floors covered, furniture moved and wrapped, trim and switches taped. The prep is why you can live in the house while we work.

Ceilings done properly

The hardest surface in the house to make look even, and the one everybody notices when it is not.

Trim, doors and cabinets

Sprayed where spraying is right and brushed where it is not, so the finish is smooth instead of stippled.

Our biggest gallery

Commercial Painting

Commercial is where most of our photos come from, and it is a different job than a house: bigger surfaces, lifts and ladders, and a schedule that has to work around a business that is still open. We have sprayed metal buildings and warehouses, repainted downtown storefronts and stained a full commercial deck and stair system in Lenoir City. We work around your hours so your customers see a finished wall instead of our drop cloths.

Metal buildings and warehouses

Sprayed with the right coating for metal, which is not the same paint that goes on siding.

Storefronts and downtown buildings

Brick, block and trim, including the parts that need a lift to reach.

Decks, stairs and railings

Commercial stair and walkway systems stained or painted, top to bottom — the surfaces that see the most feet and the most weather.

Biggest change for the money

Flooring & Stairs

Stairs are the hardest part of a flooring job and the first thing anyone looks at when they walk in. The staircase in these photos went from open framing to finished oak treads with the risers painted out. We do floors and stairs together because they meet, and a floor that does not land right at the bottom step is the thing you notice every single day.

Treads and risers

Rebuilt and finished, with the risers painted and the treads stained so the two read as one staircase instead of two projects.

Railings and handrails

Newel posts, balusters and handrails set solid. A railing that moves when you lean on it was never finished.

New floors

Hardwood, laminate and LVP, with the subfloor made flat before anything goes down.

Bathroom Remodeling work in Knoxville, Tennessee
Full remodels

Bathroom Remodeling

A bathroom is the smallest room in the house and the one with the most going on in it: tile, water, trim and paint all meeting in a few square feet. We take the whole remodel — tile walls and tub surrounds, shower enclosures, and the drywall, trim and paint that finish it. Because painting is our own trade, the last week of the job does not depend on somebody else's schedule.

Tile walls and tub surrounds

Large-format tile set with the pattern laid out before the first piece goes on the wall, so the cuts land where they should.

Showers and enclosures

Subway tile, glass doors and the waterproofing behind it that nobody sees and everything depends on.

Walls, trim and paint

The finish work by the same crew, which is the part that usually drags when a remodel gets handed between trades.
