These are the painting services Knoxville homeowners book with Castle Painters. The pages below are the scopes. This page only tells them apart so you open the right one.
Painting services Knoxville crews separate on purpose
Prep is not one shared list used on every job.
- Interior painting. Walls, ceilings, trim, doors, baseboards, and built-ins. Fill, sand, caulk, spot-prime, cut in. Sheen by room.
- Exterior painting. The whole outside: siding, trim, soffits, doors, porches, and shutters. Wash or hand-wash, scrape and sand failed film, caulk gaps, prime bare wood, then color.
- Deck staining. Clean, dry, brighten or strip, then a penetrating stain. Paint films on decks peel.
- Siding painting. The cladding only. Wood, vinyl, fiber cement, or aluminum. Trim, doors, and soffits stay on the exterior page unless you add them.
- Brick painting. Masonry paint, limewash, or stain. Sometimes the right answer is to leave the brick alone. That is not wood-siding prep.
- Fence staining. Clean, dry, and stain. Rot at posts and failed boards are repairs, listed separate from the stain.
- Painter for a Day. One painter, one day, a list agreed on first. Not a whole-house repaint squeezed into a day.
A scope that skips wash, scrape, caulk, and prime is not a shortcut we write. If you are comparing estimates and one is much thinner, ask which of those steps is missing. We do not print a dollar gap on this page. The exterior painting quote checklist shows what a complete exterior scope should include. Booking the exterior still happens on the exterior page.
What the walkthrough writes down
We look at the surface, not a package name. Exterior notes include height, access, soft wood, and how many colors. Interior notes include ceiling height, repairs, and which rooms change sheen. Stain notes include sun versus shade and whether an old film has to come off. Brick notes include moisture, spalling, and whether the brick has been painted before.
You get a written estimate. Every job we paint carries a 3-year written warranty. Phone is 865-606-6999. We are 5-star rated on Google.
Sherwin-Williams is the brand we name in the estimate, with the product and sheen for that surface. Flat, eggshell, satin, and semi-gloss are the usual interior sheens. Exterior sheen follows the surface: body, trim, and doors are not always the same.
Which page to open
Open siding if you only want the cladding. Open exterior if trim, doors, and soffits are in the same job. Open Painter for a Day if the list is a bedroom, a door, or a short punch list. Open interior if the list is several rooms or the whole inside. Open deck or fence if the wood is outside the house and should be stained, not painted like siding. Open brick if the question is masonry, including a fireplace surround.
Town pages, if you want local housing notes, start at East Tennessee painters. The city page is house painters in Knoxville.
Ask for one visit
Mention every project you are considering. We can walk them in one trip and list them separately, so you can choose what happens now.
How to tell the jobs apart on your own house
Stand outside and look at one wall. If the siding is the problem and the trim, soffit, and doors are still sound, start with siding painting. If the trim is peeling with the siding, start with exterior painting so those surfaces are one scope. If the brick is a different question from the siding, keep brick on its own page. Paint, limewash, and leaving it alone are not the same sentence.
Inside, count rooms and repairs. One bedroom with sound walls can be Painter for a Day. Several rooms, a stairwell, or trim that might be old oil paint belongs on the interior page, because the prep is longer than a day. A deck with gray boards is stain work after it dries. A fence with soft posts is a repair plus stain, not a coat of house paint.
You can book one walkthrough for more than one of these. The written estimate will still separate them so you can say yes to the exterior and wait on the deck. Phone 865-606-6999 if you want to describe the surfaces before you request the visit.
