(Exterior House Painting) Most homes take a few days to a couple of weeks depending on size, prep, and any repairs. Bill lays out the schedule before we start and keeps you updated as the work goes. ### Do you repair wood before painting? (Exterior House Painting) Yes. Bad fascia, trim, and siding are replaced and cracks are patched before any paint goes on. Painting over damage only hides it for a season. ### Will the paint hold up to the Central Oregon weather? (Exterior House Painting) We use premium exterior paint and prep every surface properly, which is what makes a finish last through the high desert sun and the freeze and thaw cycles up here. ### Can you help me pick a color? (Exterior House Painting) Yes. Bill helps you settle on colors before we start. The bright high desert light changes how a color reads, so getting it right up front matters. ### Do you move and cover furniture? (Interior House Painting) Yes. We move what we can, cover your furniture and floors, and keep the work area clean at the end of every day. ### Can you help me choose colors? (Interior House Painting) Yes. Bill will walk the rooms with you and help you pick colors that work in your light. One of our customers said Bill saved their project by steering them to a white that worked better in the space. ### How long does an interior repaint take? (Interior House Painting) It depends on the number of rooms and the prep, but most interior jobs run a few days to a week. We give you a schedule up front. ### Do you handle high ceilings and stairwells? (Interior House Painting) Yes. We have painted rooms with 18 foot ceilings and tall stairwells. We bring the right equipment to reach and finish them safely and cleanly. ### Do you take the cabinet doors off or paint them in place? (Cabinet Painting) Bill usually pulls the doors and drawers so every edge gets covered evenly, and can finish them off the cabinet or set up in your kitchen when that fits the job better. ### Will the paint hold up to daily kitchen use? (Cabinet Painting) That comes down to prep. Cabinets get degreased, sanded, and primed before any paint, which is what lets the finish stick and stand up to hands, steam, and cleaning over time. ### Can you get a smooth finish without brush marks? (Cabinet Painting) Yes. The goal is a smooth, even coat that reads close to a factory finish rather than a thick brushed one. ### Do you help with color? (Cabinet Painting) Yes. Bill helps you settle on the color and sheen before any paint goes on so the kitchen turns out the way you pictured it. ### Do you handle both interior and exterior painting? (Residential Painting) Yes. Bill Sizemore Painting is set up to paint the whole house with one crew, from full exterior repaints to interior walls, ceilings, trim, and cabinet refinishing, so you can book it all in one go. ### What areas do you cover? (Residential Painting) Bill works across Central Oregon. That includes Redmond, Bend, Sisters, Prineville, Madras, Culver, La Pine, and Metolius. ### Why does exterior paint fail early up here? (Residential Painting) The strong high desert sun and the swing from hot days to freezing nights wear a finish down and open up cracks. The answer is prep. Bill washes, scrapes, sands, replaces bad wood, patches, caulks, and primes before painting so the new coat actually holds. ### Do I need to move out while you paint the inside? (Residential Painting) No. Bill and his crew work around you, cover and protect your rooms, and clean up each day, so you can stay in the house while the interior work gets done. ### Can you work around our business hours? (Commercial Painting) Usually yes. Tell Bill your hours at the estimate and he will build the schedule around them so most of the work happens when it least affects your customers. ### What kinds of commercial property do you paint? (Commercial Painting) Offices, retail spaces, apartment communities, and other light commercial buildings across Central Oregon. Bill is on site every job, so the same standard holds whether it is one suite or a whole building. ### How do you make the paint last up here? (Commercial Painting) Most of it comes down to prep. The high desert sun and the freeze and thaw break paint down and open up cracks, so surfaces get washed, scraped, sanded, patched, and primed before any durable coating goes on. ### Do you paint apartment communities? (Commercial Painting) Yes. We paint apartment building exteriors and units across Central Oregon and schedule the work so it moves through the property with the least disruption to residents. ### Do you handle full building exteriors and unit turns? (Apartment Painting) Yes. We paint apartment building exteriors and we handle interior unit turns, so you can use one crew for both. ### Can you work around occupied units? (Apartment Painting) Yes. We build the schedule around your property so residents, parking, and entrances are affected as little as possible while the work moves through. ### How fast can you turn a unit? (Apartment Painting) It depends on the size and condition of the unit and how much patching it needs. Bill gives you a realistic schedule with the estimate so you can plan your rent ready dates. ### Are you licensed and insured for commercial property? (Apartment Painting) Yes. Bill Sizemore Painting is licensed, bonded, and insured under Oregon CCB #250802 and is a Certified Lead Renovator, which matters on older apartment buildings. ## Contact - Phone: (541) 203-7000 - Email: bill45gm@gmail.com - Website: https://billsizemorepainting.com
