Got Questions?
Everything you need to know about working with Vantage Painting Co. — from pricing and prep to warranties and what happens when something isn't right.
Most single rooms range from $400–$900 depending on size, ceiling height, number of doors and windows, and the condition of the walls. A large open-concept living room or a room with high ceilings will be on the higher end.
We provide free detailed written estimates so you know exactly what you're paying for before we start anything.
A full interior repaint (walls, ceilings, and trim) for a typical 3-bedroom home ranges from $3,500–$7,000+. Factors that affect price include square footage, number of rooms, ceiling height, amount of trim, color change (light-to-dark or dark-to-light), and overall wall condition.
We'll walk through every room and give you a line-by-line quote — no guessing.
Exterior repaints in our service area typically range from $3,000–$8,000+ for a standard single-family home. Price depends on home size, siding type, number of stories, amount of trim and detail work, and how much prep is needed (scraping, caulking, priming).
We never skip prep — it's what separates a paint job that lasts 3 years from one that lasts 8+.
Yes — always. Estimates are completely free with no obligation. We visit your home, assess the project in person, and deliver a detailed written quote within 48 hours. We never pressure you into booking.
Yes. We require a 30–50% deposit to reserve your start date and purchase materials. The remaining balance is due upon completion of the project after you've done a final walkthrough and you're satisfied with the work.
We accept credit card, debit card, check, and bank transfer (ACH). We do not require cash. All payments are documented and you'll receive a receipt.
Here's exactly how a project works with us:
1. Free Estimate — We visit your home and deliver a written quote within 48 hours.
2. Book & Deposit — You approve the quote, sign the agreement, and pay the deposit to reserve your date.
3. Prep Day — We protect your home, move furniture, and handle all prep work.
4. Paint — Our crew executes the project with precision.
5. Quality Inspection — We inspect every surface before calling the job complete.
6. Final Walkthrough — You walk through with us. We address anything you're not fully satisfied with.
7. Final Payment & Review — Balance collected, warranty issued, and we kindly ask for a review.
Timelines depend on the scope:
Single room: 1 day
Full interior (3–4 bed home): 3–5 days
Full exterior: 2–4 days
Cabinet painting: 3–5 days (requires dry time between coats)
Full interior + exterior: 7–10 days
We'll give you a specific timeline in your estimate so you can plan around it.
You don't need to be home the entire time, but we do ask that someone is available on the first day for the walkthrough and on the final day for the completion walkthrough. Many of our clients leave us a key or a code and go about their normal day.
We send photo updates throughout the project so you always know where things stand.
Yes. We send progress photos and daily updates via text so you're never in the dark. If there's anything unexpected — a repair we noticed, a material question, anything — we communicate it immediately rather than making assumptions.
We handle moving and covering standard furniture as part of our process. We ask that you remove small valuables, breakables, plants, and wall hangings before we arrive — anything that you'd want to handle personally. We take care of the rest.
We use Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore exclusively — both are premium brands with proven durability. We don't use contractor-grade paints or cut costs with lesser materials. The quality of the paint directly affects how long your finish looks great and holds up.
Popular lines we use: Sherwin-Williams Emerald, Duration, and SuperPaint; Benjamin Moore Aura and Regal Select.
Yes. Minor drywall repairs — nail holes, small dings, hairline cracks — are included in our standard prep. Larger repairs (water damage, popped drywall, significant cracks) are quoted separately. We'll identify everything during the estimate and give you a clear breakdown.
We never paint over problems. If a wall needs patching, we patch it first.
Standard projects receive 2 finish coats on walls, with primer applied where needed (new drywall, heavy color changes, stained surfaces). Trim typically receives 2 coats. Ceilings typically receive 1–2 coats depending on coverage.
If you're doing a dramatic color change (e.g., dark to white), we may recommend a primer coat plus 2 finish coats to ensure proper coverage — we'll specify this in the estimate.
We use canvas drop cloths on all floors and plastic sheeting over furniture and fixtures. All trim, outlets, and switches are masked with quality painter's tape before any paint is applied. We don't rush the prep process — it's what prevents damage and ensures clean lines.
Absolutely. You choose the colors and we'll purchase the paint. If you'd like recommendations, we're happy to share what's been popular in your area and what works well for lighting conditions in your home. We can also guide you on sheen levels (flat, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss) for different surfaces.
We specialize in residential painting:
Interior Painting — Walls, ceilings, trim, doors, closets
Exterior Painting — Full home repaints, siding, trim, doors, shutters, decks
Cabinet Painting — Kitchen and bathroom cabinets with a factory-smooth finish
We currently focus exclusively on residential work to maintain the highest standard of quality.
Yes — cabinet painting is one of our most requested services. We remove all doors and hardware, sand and prime all surfaces, and apply a durable finish coat that gives cabinets a smooth, professional look. Cabinet painting costs a fraction of replacement and dramatically transforms a kitchen or bathroom.
We paint and stain decks and fences as add-ons to exterior projects. If you're having your home's exterior painted, we can typically include the deck or fence at a competitive price. Contact us about your specific project for a quote.
At this time we focus exclusively on residential work — single-family homes, condos, and townhomes. This allows us to maintain the premium experience and quality standards our residential clients expect. We don't take on commercial or retail spaces.
Yes. We work with homeowners on new construction and with builders on spec homes. New construction has different requirements (bare drywall, no existing paint) and we price and prep accordingly. Contact us to discuss your new build project.
Yes. We stand behind our work:
Interior work: 2-year warranty
Exterior work: 3-year warranty
If paint peels, cracks, or fails due to workmanship or application, we'll return and fix it at no charge. Our warranty covers defects in application — it does not cover damage caused by water intrusion, structural movement, or normal wear and tear on high-traffic surfaces.
We don't consider a job finished until you're fully satisfied. The final walkthrough is your opportunity to point out anything that needs touch-up or correction — and we take care of it before collecting final payment.
If a concern comes up after we've left, call us. We respond quickly and take every callback seriously. Our reputation is built on making things right.
Yes. We are fully licensed and carry general liability insurance. We can provide proof of insurance at any time — just ask. We never cut corners on coverage because it protects your home and your investment.
Availability varies by season. Spring and summer are our busiest times — we can be booked 2–4 weeks out. Fall and winter typically have more immediate availability. The sooner you reach out, the sooner we can get on your schedule.
We do our best to accommodate your schedule. We work Monday through Saturday and can discuss start times that work for you. For multi-day projects, we'll establish a consistent schedule upfront so there are no surprises.
We don't paint exteriors in wet or cold conditions — the surface needs to be dry and the temperature needs to be above 50°F for proper adhesion and curing. If weather delays a project, we'll reschedule at the earliest available window and communicate proactively. We never rush an exterior project because of weather pressure.
We serve Plymouth, Canton, Northville, Livonia, Novi, Ann Arbor, South Lyon, Milford, Wixom, and surrounding areas in Western Wayne and Oakland Counties, Michigan.
