Burke Painting will provide you with a detailed free estimate and step-by-step procedures on how we will prepare and paint your home or property.

Picking the color scheme is an important part of the paint job. On the exterior, your property should blend in with its surroundings and the colors of the roof, plants and the color of the neighbor's homes. The interior should complement your carpets, drapes and furniture. John will help you in deciding that right color scheme and the paint to use based on its look, durability and maintenance characteristics.  John Burke has painted hundreds of homes and knows what works well.

Before the beginning of the job, plastic and drop cloths are used to cover plants, windows, furniture and  floors. Daily clean up of the work area is preformed.

We will remove/cover electrical socket/switch plates, ceiling fan/lamp covers, thermostats, and any other wall or ceiling devices  necessary instead of painting around them (wherever possible).

Burke Painting believes that the work before the painting begins is the most important phase of the job. This is why we spend more time and put that extra effort into sanding, scraping and cleaning the surfaces on which we are working.

We then give a full coat of primer to the exterior and new interior surface to ensure proper bonding of the finish coats. We apply a spot primer to the interior previously painted surfaces.

We caulk, spackle, putty and apply wood filler to repair  damaged surfaces and if seen at the time of the estimate replace defective wallboard or plaster when necessary.

Following the caulking, and sanding of the filler, we spot prime those areas to ensure a long-lasting consistent finish. Through the use of the highest quality  primer, we ensure the finish coats will stand the test of time.

After the primer has dried, we apply two coats of the Premium finish paint that adheres the  professional standards of Burke Painting.  Depending on customer color needs and the type of job we are doing, we use any of the following premium paints: BENJAMIN MOORE or KELLY MOORE.

The application of the second coat should only be completed after the first coat is completely dry. By applying a second coat to all surfaces you not only extend the life of the paint by three years but it also gives the homeowner a chance to make sure they are happy with the color.

Completion of the contract is followed by a thorough cleanup of the entire paint area. Afterwards, we will do a walkthrough with you and if necessary perform any touch up we find.

We abide by the P D C A  Industry Standards which are considered the highest standards in the Country
