Why Greystone Painting

Prep Work Is the Whole Job

Most painting companies rush through prep to get to the visible part. We spend more time sanding, patching, and priming than we do rolling paint. That is the difference between a finish that peels in two years and one that holds up for ten.

Dave Foster has been running Greystone Painting since 1996. He is on every job, start to finish. No project managers, no hand-offs. If you hire us, you get Dave and his crew.

Our Philosophy

How We Think About the Work

"We prep like the paint won't stick unless we earn it. Sand, patch, prime, then paint. Corners, trim, ceilings, all of it. That's the part most crews skip, and it's the part that matters most."

Cleaning, sanding, patching, and taping. This is where most of the work happens, and where most painters cut corners.

Do you keep the workspace clean and dust-free?
Yes. We run HEPA dust extractors when sanding and lay down floor protection to keep dust and debris out of the rest of your home.

Sherwin-Williams, mainly their Emerald and Duration lines. We pick the specific product based on the surface, the room, and the finish you want.
Do you offer color consultation?
Yes. We'll look at your space, talk through finish options like matte vs. satin, and help you pick colors that work with your natural light.
Are you licensed and insured?

How long does a typical painting project take?
A single room usually takes one to two days. A full interior or exterior can run one to two weeks depending on size, prep work, and weather. We'll give you a timeline during your free estimate.
What's included in a free estimate?
