Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the questions we hear most. Still wondering about something specific? Call or message us our team is happy to help.

How far in advance do I need to book a Sarasota painting project?

Most Sarasota and Bradenton projects are scheduled 2–3 weeks from estimate approval. If you’re on a tight timeline, ask about our limited rush availability for interiors, exteriors, or cabinets.

Do your painters help with color selection?

Yes. Every estimate includes basic color guidance from our team, plus complimentary Sherwin-Williams® chip delivery to your home.

What prep work should I do before you arrive?

Simply remove small décor and valuables. We move or cover larger furniture, protect floors, and handle all sanding, repairs, and priming.

Will interior painting odors linger in my home?

We primarily use low-VOC Sherwin-Williams® products. Any mild scent typically dissipates within 24 hours with normal ventilation, so most clients are comfortable sleeping in painted rooms the next day.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Elevate Paint Co. is fully licensed with $2M liability coverage and worker’s compensation. Documentation is available on request.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept checks, major credit cards, and ACH. A 30% deposit reserves your slot; the remaining balance is due after your final walkthrough.

What does your painting warranty cover?

Our workmanship warranties (1–5 years depending on the project and tier) cover peeling, blistering, or adhesion failures caused by prep or application. If an issue arises within the warranty period, we inspect and repaint the affected areas at no cost.

How long will my project take?

Interiors: Typically 3–4 days for a three-bedroom home.


Exteriors: 5–6 days, weather permitting.


Cabinets: About a four-day turnaround.

Do I need to leave the house?

Not unless you prefer to. We work around daily routines and secure the home whenever we step away.

Which paint brands do you use?

Predominantly Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint®, Duration®, and Emerald® lines for proven durability and color retention.

Can you match an existing color?

Yes. Using digital color-matching technology, we can closely match existing paints and finishes at Sherwin-Williams.

What happens if it rains during exterior work?

We pause work, protect surfaces, and resume once conditions meet manufacturer guidelines. This ensures proper adhesion and protects your warranty.
