Our Painting Process
Clear Steps, Clean Sites, Written Warranty.

Starting in New Haven County and serving all of Connecticut, Alves Pro delivers priced-right painting with a documented process and a written workmanship warranty.

The 5-Step Process We Follow on Every Home

We keep the process predictable: clear scope, professional prep, consistent application, and a documented closeout. That’s how we stay priced-right without cutting corners. For scheduling by region, see the areas we serve. Every schedule depends on scope, prep, repairs, access, and whether the project is interior or exterior, homeowners can also review how long a house painting project takes in New Haven County.

1) Walkthrough & Scope

On-site walkthrough in New Haven County and across CT. We confirm surfaces, access, repairs, and the paint system before pricing. Before the walkthrough, homeowners can reduce confusion by learning how to plan a house painting project step by step, from scope and surfaces to prep, timing, and estimate review.
2) 48-Hour Line-Item Estimate

You receive a written, line-item estimate within 48 hours with options, prep notes, and what’s included — no vague totals. If you want to know what should be included before you approve a proposal, review our guide to a professional house painting estimate.
3) Protection & Prep

Floor and landscaping protection, scraping/sanding, patching, caulking, and stain blocking where needed. Prep is where durability starts, and homeowners can also review what affects exterior paint durability in Connecticut homes.
4) Two-Coat Application System

Primer as needed, then finish coats with consistent coverage. We follow manufacturer specifications for adhesion, dry times, and sheen.
5) Final Walkthrough & Clean Closeout

We complete punch-list items, confirm edges and lines, and leave the site clean. You receive warranty terms and maintenance guidance. See finish standards and closeout quality in our portfolio.

If you want a homeowner-friendly walkthrough of what happens from the first review to prep, painting, cleanup, and final closeout, read what to expect during a professional house painting project.

FAQ

Process & Warranty FAQs — Connecticut

Do you really deliver estimates in 48 hours?

Yes – after a walkthrough or photo review. Complex jobs may need one extra touchpoint, but we keep scope and pricing fast and written

What makes your prep different?

Our prep is surface-specific, not just a quick clean and coat. We protect floors, landscaping, windows, and hardscape, then handle scraping, sanding, patching, caulking, stain blocking, and primer selection where needed. For older homes with previous paint layers or more detailed exterior surfaces, you can review our exterior painting prep standards for older Connecticut homes.

Do you use one coat or two coats?

Most finishes are a two-coat system for consistent coverage. If a surface needs more due to color change or condition, it’s listed.

What does the written warranty cover?

Workmanship tied to the system selected – prep/application/adhesion – under normal conditions and proper maintenance.

What’s not covered by warranty?

Leaks, moisture intrusion, structural movement, impact damage, and surfaces failing due to underlying issues outside painting scope.

How do change-orders work?

If scope changes, we write it down first – price, timeline, and what’s added – so the project stays predictable.

Do you serve only New Haven County?

We start in New Haven County and serve all of Connecticut, with the same crew standards and owner-led oversight.

Can I get an estimate with photos instead of a walkthrough?

Yes, for many projects. We’ll confirm details and send a written, line-item estimate within 48 hours.
