What we do
Outside, inside, and the wood between
Exterior repaints
Washed, scraped to sound film, spot-primed at every bare patch, then bond coat and finish — sprayed on and back-brushed while wet so it rides the grain instead of sitting on it. Clapboard, shingle, fibre-cement and the valley’s stubborn stucco each get their own written system, and the caulk at every trim joint is raked out and renewed before any of it.
Interior floors & rooms
Rooms tented with zipper walls and HEPA extraction so the house stays liveable while we work it: walls washed, gloss killed, nail pops cut out and re-taped, two coats of washable matte rolled and laid off wet. Ceilings first, walls second, woodwork last — the order that never needs a callback.
Kitchens & cabinetry
Doors off and tented, four thin coats of catalysed enamel that cure factory-flat, hinges back on soft-close the same week. The sprayed finish is tougher than anything a brush can lay down — and the frames get brushed where a gun would only repaint the toaster.
Porch floors & decks
Stripped or brightened, then flooded with penetrating oil or solid stain in a colour you chose from a sample brushed on your own boards. Rails are done by hand, post tops are sealed twice, and the porch floor gets the slow-drying enamel that shrugs off a decade of boots.
Exteriors run May to October and the May board is two-thirds spoken for — the walk takes forty minutes and ends with a date on it. (555) 896-0143.
The wall
Around town
How it goes
From knock to hand-back
Forty minutes at your place, a fixed price in writing, and a crew that arrives when the calendar said it would.
The walk
We measure, photograph and mostly listen. The quote — every coat, every coat’s paint, the dates — lands before the coffee goes cold, and it is the number you pay.
The protection
Bushes sheeted, paths papered, windows masked to a knife line. On interiors the tent goes up first and the furniture moves to the middle under cloth.
The coats
Prep, prime, two finish coats — sprayed and back-brushed outside, rolled and cut in by hand inside. The paint line names, the day sheet records what got done.
The walk-around
Raking lamp on every elevation, punch list closed on the spot, yard swept, and the leftover paint labelled and left for the day the bicycle meets the door.
Word of mouth
Three doors on three streets
Fourth house on this street they have painted — we held the door for the neighbours’ recommendation and they still beat the calendar. The trim by the downspouts, the bit every crew misses, is the tidiest work on the building.
They sprayed the kitchen in a tent in our dining room while we lived around it. Three days, no brush marks, no smell past the first evening — and the hardware went back on the doors it came off, which the muffin-tin trick apparently guarantees.
Our porch floor has taken nineteen years of boots, chairs and one dropped cast-iron pan. Bellrock enamelled it in 2008 and touched it once since. That is the whole review.
The day-sheet promise
Every day your job runs, a day sheet goes to your inbox: what got coated, what the weather did to the plan, and what tomorrow is. The quote names the coats; the day sheet proves them. If we miss the completion date we wrote, the last coat is free — stated plainly, paid twice in twenty-nine years.
Fair questions
Interior and exterior in one quote?
One quote, one crew, one calendar — the outside in the dry weeks and the rooms in the wet ones, sequenced so you are never living in a single giant worksite. The trim colour agrees with the hall because the same two people chose both.
What about old paint on an old house?
Lead-safe certified practices on anything pre-1978: containment sheeting, HEPA extraction, disposal receipts. We test at the walk and show you the strip before we agree a colour — it changes the method, never the friendliness of it.
Do you repaint storefronts and halls?
Main Street is half our portfolio — night shifts so the till never stops, sign panels masked and sprayed separately, and the town’s halls and stairwells in scrubbable eggshell that takes a decade of hands.
What is the deposit?
Nothing until the prep passes your look. A quarter at midpoint, the balance after the walk-around and the yard sweep. Cheques made out to Bellrock, as they have been since the hardware store was our first account.
How do two crews avoid double-booking us?
One calendar, one dispatcher — Eila — and a completion date written on the quote. If weather moves an exterior, the interior moves up; the date we wrote is the date we defend.
The walk takes forty minutes.
Name the job and the street. The quote names every coat before the ladder comes off the truck, and the calendar gets a date on it before we leave the driveway. hello@bellrockpaint.example
