Choosing color is the step that stalls most projects. With every estimate you get a free color consultation: we bring the fan decks, look at your light, and help you land on colors you’ll still love in five years. Then you get a written, all-in estimate — no “we’ll see when we get there.”
How we work
The difference between a paint job that looks great for one season and one that lasts is almost entirely prep and protection — the parts nobody photographs. Here’s exactly how a Truecoat project runs, and what we do to keep your home clean and livable the whole time.
We come out, measure, and talk through what you want — then a free color consultation and a written, all-in estimate. You know the colors, the scope, and the exact price before we book the job.
This is the part that makes the finish last: we cover floors and furniture, mask trim and fixtures, then scrape, sand, patch, caulk, and prime. Your home is protected before a drop of color goes on.
Premium paint, clean lines, and even coats — cut in by hand, rolled or sprayed to spec. One lead painter runs your job start to finish, so the quality and the crew stay consistent.
We walk every room with you, touch up anything that isn’t perfect, then pull the masking, haul off the debris, and put your home back the way we found it — cleaner, actually. Nothing’s done until you say it is.
Payment options
A whole-home repaint or a big exterior job is a real investment. If you’d rather spread it out, just ask — we offer simple payment options for larger projects, and we’ll bring it up during your free estimate so there are no surprises.
The team
Owner & Lead Painter
MO Painting Contractor · 14 years on the brush
Cole started Truecoat after fourteen years painting for other outfits, tired of watching crews rush the prep and blame the paint when it failed. His whole standard is the opposite: do the prep nobody photographs, protect the home like it’s your own, and stand behind the finish in writing. He still runs the color consultation on most jobs himself — and he’d rather talk you into the right sheen than sell you the wrong one.
Project Manager & Color Consultant
Color consultant · scheduling lead · 11 years
Renee runs the schedule and the color consultations, which means she’s the reason your project starts when we said it would and ends with colors you actually love. She’s the one who brings the fan decks, reads how a color will behave in your light, and keeps the crew, the paint, and the timeline lined up. Homeowners tend to say she made the part they were dreading — picking colors — the part they enjoyed.
Reviews
“We’d been burned by a cheap painter before — peeling within a year. Truecoat’s prep was a different world: they patched our cracked plaster, covered everything, and cleaned up every single night. Two years later the walls still look freshly done. The free color help sealed it — we’d never have landed on the palette ourselves.”
“Our exterior was chalking and the caulk was shot. They power-washed, scraped, re-caulked, and spot-primed before a drop of paint went on — and it shows. Crisp lines, no drips on the brick, landscaping untouched. Written estimate up front matched the final bill to the dollar.”
“They refinished our orange-oak kitchen cabinets and I genuinely can’t believe it’s the same kitchen. The sprayed finish is smooth as glass — no brush marks anywhere. They masked the kitchen so we still used the rest of the house, and it was done in four days. A fraction of what new cabinets would have cost.”
