What we do…
The Fine Arts, llc is a painting contracting company, specializing
in proper preparation, application, and maintenance of interior
and exterior surfaces. Our services add value and beauty to
our client’s homes, while protecting the surfaces for years
to come. Each of our painters have been thoroughly trained in
every task they perform, regardless of the tasks perceived simplicity.
Our reputation is much too valuable to trust to day-hire helpers,
as many other companies do on a daily basis. Our clients take
comfort in knowing that that every service we perform is completed
to the highest standards, regardless of their projects size,
their zip code, or the value of the contract.
Each year, about 70% of our projects are interior, with about
40% of those projects being faux finishes, decorative painting,
and furniture painting. Of the 30% of our work that are exterior
projects, roughly 80% of that is painting and restoration of
the trim and siding of the home. The other 20% is power washing
decks and fences, and exterior wood staining and refinishing.
In most cases, we work directly with a client that has been
referred to us by a previous client, but frequently we work
with the client’s Interior Decorator or Designer.
Our ideal client would be anyone that has used another painting
contracting company before. This type of client has set expectations
of what a project will be like, based on their previous experience,
and we always raise the bar for the other companies out there.
Our clients are most impressed by our professionalism, craftsmanship,
and by how smoothly the projects run. We take the time to listen
to what our clients needs are, and we encourage feedback from
them during the project.
Please visit our testimonials page to view many of our previous
customer’s comments and letters.

We have included here the services that we offer to other contractors,

Instruction on basic painting and faux finishing techniques
We can teach anyone the basic skills needed to paint on their
own, any size project, even faux finishes! This is a perfect
alternative for those “Do it Your Selfers”,
those looking to save a little money on remodeling costs, even
individuals looking to start their own business.
Review of estimates
We can review any painting estimate and advise our client if
it is a fair price for their project.
(Can you afford not to know?)
Project planning and scheduling
Clients contact us and briefly explain the scope of their proposed
project (what they want to have done, for example, new carpets,
change their moulding, re-paint…) and our project planner suggests
the order of operations that will minimize downtime, return
visits from contractors for touch ups, and saves the client
a considerable amount of money and headaches.
Use a project planner’s expertise
and save money!
Offer comparative estimates
We can give you an estimate on your project for you to compare
to other contractors you may be considering. In this case, we
aren’t bidding on the job against other contractor’s, we are
just giving you the tool you need to get
the best price.
Project supervision
If you chose to attempt your project on your own, but would
like a little guidance, our project manager can visit your jobsite
to oversee progress, set daily production goals, and help you
get it done right the first time.
Don’t make expensive mistakes!
