The Timeline
& Process
Several factors play a part in the time needed to complete a painting and drywall project, including the following …

We consider all of these factors when discussing your project. We then work with you to create a realistic project timeline and expectations before we get started.
Size & Scope of the Project
- Larger projects with more extensive areas to paint or repair will naturally take longer to complete than smaller ones.
Preparation Requirements
- The amount of prep work needed – such as surface cleaning, patching, priming and masking – can significantly impact project timelines.
Accessibility & Layout of the Space
- Complex layouts, tight spaces, and difficult-to-reach areas may require more time and effort to paint or repair.
Type of Surfaces
- Different surfaces require different prep and application methods. For example, painting on textured surfaces or repairing damaged drywall may take longer than working on smooth surfaces.
Extent of Repairs Needed
- If extensive drywall repairs are required before painting, such as patching holes, fixing cracks, or addressing water or smoke damage, this will add time to the project.
Number of Coats
- The number of paint coats required (and drying time in between coats) will impact project duration.
Drying Time
- Both paint and drywall compound require adequate drying time between coats before further work can be done.
Weather Conditions
- Exterior painting projects are often weather-dependent, and adverse weather conditions such as rain or extreme temperatures can delay outdoor work.
Scheduling & Coordination
- Coordination of schedules with other trades, building occupants or business operations may affect the timeline for completing the project.
Experience & Efficiency
- Experienced contractors with efficient work processes may complete projects more quickly without sacrificing quality.

What paint do you recommend for commercial and multi-family housing properties?
For commercial and multi-family housing properties, we recommend using high-quality paint products that offer durability, longevity, and easy maintenance.
Some factors to consider when choosing paint for these properties include:
- Quality: We opt for premium-quality paints that offer excellent coverage and durability, reducing the need (and cost involved) for frequent repainting and touch-ups.
- Durability: We’re experts in selecting paints that are resistant to wear and tear, as well as to stains, scuffs, and scratches. This is especially important in high-traffic areas such as hallways, lobbies, and common areas.
- Washability: We recommend paints that are easy to clean and maintain, as this helps preserve the appearance of the property over time, including washable finishes that can withstand regular cleaning without fading or dulling.
- Color selection: When selecting paint colors, we recommend opting for neutral tones or classic shades that have broad appeal and can complement a variety of interior design styles. This ensures versatility and helps maintain the property’s aesthetic appeal over time.
By considering these factors and selecting the right paint products, you can enhance the appearance and durability of your commercial or multi-family housing property, while also providing long-term value.
Are you able to repair walls with water or smoke damage?
Yes, we specialize in repairing walls with water or smoke damage. Our process typically involves the following steps:
- Assessment: We start by assessing the extent of the damage to determine the best course of action.
- Cleanup: If necessary, we clean the affected area to remove any debris, residue, or contaminants.
- Drying: For water-damaged walls, we ensure thorough drying to prevent mold and mildew growth. This may involve using fans, dehumidifiers, or other drying equipment.
- Repairs: We repair the damaged areas of the wall, which may include patching holes, replacing damaged drywall, or addressing any structural issues.
- Restoration: Once the repairs are complete, we restore the wall to its original condition by taping, texturing, priming, and painting it to match the surrounding area.
By following these steps, we can effectively repair walls with water or smoke damage, restoring them to their pre-damaged state and ensuring the integrity and appearance of the property are preserved.
What sets you apart from other businesses offering painting and drywall services?
It’s true – painters and drywallers are a dime a dozen in the Fargo-Moorhead region and beyond. The difference? We’ll highlight just a few:
- Experience: Our more than 30 years of experience is evident throughout the entire process. (That is, the do’s, don’ts and expert tips that only come with years of experience.)
- Knowledge of paint: Unlike residential painting – knowledge of protective, quality paint products is necessary to balance cost and durability for commercial projects. Higher traffic areas, exposure to elements and the paint lifetime desired all factor into the products we recommend for your project.
- Handcrafted technique: As with painting, the technique used to create a seamless drywall repair is imperative. While some companies might choose to prioritize speed while sacrificing quality, we aim to earn 5 stars in both categories.
- Aesthetics & final results: Most clients don’t care how we got there – and they shouldn’t! They’re standing by for the end results.
