What to Know Before Hiring a Mequon Painter
Empire Painting helps define the real project before work begins: the surfaces included, preparation required, protection plan, access, finish expectations and what the written estimate actually covers.
Exterior, Interior, Cabinets & Detailed Finish Work
Empire paints siding, trim, doors, shutters, dormers, walls, ceilings, baseboards, bedrooms, kitchens, living spaces, cabinets, built-ins and other suitable residential surfaces included in the written scope.
The Home and Site Change the Plan
Brick, stone, siding, wood details, larger elevations, mature landscaping, tree cover, connected interiors and prominent architectural features can require different access, protection and preparation.
Price Follows the Actual Scope
Size, height, condition, repairs, preparation, access, color changes, trim, doors, ceilings, cabinetry and the number of surfaces included all affect a written painting estimate.
Protection and Prep Are Defined Up Front
The written plan can address cleaning, scraping, sanding, caulking, patching, priming, masking, flooring, furniture, landscaping, patios, windows and nearby surfaces.
No Deposit. Pay When Complete.
Empire requires no deposit before work begins and provides a written 3-year workmanship warranty on qualifying residential painting projects.

The Painting Plan Should Fit the Property
Mequon properties can combine larger elevations, brick and stone, siding, wood details, long rooflines, dormers, prominent entries, mature landscaping and substantial interior spaces. Each of those details can change access, protection, preparation and sequencing.
Empire reviews the actual home instead of forcing every project into one generic checklist.
- Exterior siding, trim, doors, shutters, porch details, dormers, garages and masonry transitions
- Interior walls, ceilings, baseboards, doors, bedrooms, kitchens and connected living spaces
- Cabinet painting, built-ins, staining and coordinated color guidance
- Free written estimates with no deposit required and payment when complete

A dependable scope considers the property’s materials, exposure, access, permanent finishes and how the home will be used during the work.
Your Estimate Should Answer More Than “How Much?”
Matt helps define the rooms, elevations and surfaces included, visible preparation, protection, access, colors, sequence and timing before the crew arrives.
The goal is a written plan that reduces assumptions and gives the homeowner a clear basis for comparing the project—not just the bottom-line number.
