Everything You
Want to Know

Real answers from hundreds of projects across Baldwin and Mobile County. Can’t find your question? Call or text us — we’re always happy to talk.

A bedroom walls-only repaint with materials included is $550. Bedroom walls plus trim and doors is $875. Bathroom walls are $450, living room walls are $950, ceiling add-ons are $125, and whole interiors start at $7,500. We still walk the job first so the written quote matches the actual prep, furniture moving, trim, doors, ceilings, and wall condition.

Pro Tip

Bundle multiple rooms for better per-room pricing.

No. We move all furniture to the center of the room and cover everything with clean drop cloths. Just remove small personal items and fragile decor before we arrive. We do a full cleanup every day — your home stays livable during the project.

Pro Tip

If you have extremely heavy or delicate furniture, let us know in advance and we’ll plan accordingly.

Flat for ceilings and low-traffic areas. Eggshell for bedrooms and living rooms. Satin for kitchens, bathrooms, and hallways. Semi-gloss for trim, doors, and cabinets. We help you pick the right sheen for every surface during your free color consultation.

Pro Tip

Satin is the most versatile — easy to clean, subtle sheen, works almost everywhere.

Always two full coats minimum on every surface. If we’re making a dramatic color change (light to dark or dark to light), we may apply a tinted primer plus two topcoats. We never cut corners by doing one coat and calling it done.

Pro Tip

Two coats ensures even coverage, richer color, and longer lifespan.

A single room takes 1–2 days. A typical 3-bedroom home takes 3–5 days. Larger homes with trim, doors, and ceilings included can take 5–7 days. We give you a clear timeline before we start and text you 30 minutes before arriving each morning.

Pro Tip

We paint one section at a time so you’re never locked out of your whole home.

With proper prep and premium paint: 7–10 years on wood siding, 15–20 years on stucco, and 20+ years on brick. Gulf Coast humidity, salt air, and UV are brutal — which is why prep quality matters more than the paint itself.

Pro Tip

We use Sherwin-Williams Duration & Emerald — specifically formulated for UV and mildew resistance.

Always. Power washing removes dirt, pollen, mold, salt deposits, and chalky paint residue. Paint applied over a dirty surface will peel within months. This is non-negotiable — it’s included in every exterior quote.

Pro Tip

We allow 24–48 hours of dry time after washing before any paint goes on.

We scrape all loose paint, sand edges smooth, and caulk every gap. Minor wood rot is filled with epoxy filler. Major rot requires board replacement — we’ll identify this in your estimate so there are no surprises.

Pro Tip

Painting over rot is throwing money away. We always fix the substrate first.

No. Paint needs 4+ hours of dry time above 50°F to cure properly. We monitor weather closely and won’t start if rain is expected within 24 hours. If weather delays your project, we come back the next viable day — we never leave your house half-done to go start someone else’s.

Pro Tip

Our scheduling flexibility means weather delays rarely push projects more than a day or two.

Full power wash, scraping, sanding, caulking, priming bare/repaired areas, two coats of premium exterior paint on all surfaces: siding, trim, fascia, soffits, shutters, and doors. We also protect landscaping and clean up daily.

Pro Tip

Ask about our color help — see your exterior in any color before we start.

Chipping usually comes from wall paint, weak cleaning and sanding, or the wrong coating over raw, slick, stained, or oil-based surfaces. We remove and label doors and drawers, contain the hardware, clean and sand, prime when the surface calls for it, sand between coats, and finish with two coats of Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane. Doors and drawers are sprayed off-site; cabinet bodies are brushed and rolled on-site with a mohair nap.

Pro Tip

Our work is backed by a 2-year warranty covering peeling, adhesion failure, and chipping.

White and off-white are timeless and brighten kitchens. Navy blue is bold but classic. Sage green is trending. Charcoal hides wear well. Two-tone cabinets are popular when you want the island or lowers to anchor the room. The safest choice is the one you can see first, so we show your actual cabinets in any color before we paint.

Pro Tip

free color help is included with every quote. Compare options on your real kitchen instead of guessing from a swatch.

Our standard kitchen takes 5 days. Day 1 we remove, label, and catalog doors, drawers, and hardware at your home. Days 2–3 the removed pieces are cleaned, sanded, primed when needed, sprayed with two coats of Emerald Urethane, and left to cure at our shop. Day 3–4 we finish cabinet bodies on-site with a mohair nap. Day 5 we reinstall everything and do the final walkthrough.

Pro Tip

Your kitchen stays usable about 80% of the time, with 2–3 days of on-site work.

Almost always yes if the layout and boxes are solid. Bathroom vanities start at $800, small kitchens start at $4,500, average kitchens start at $6,800, and large kitchens start at $9,500. Replacement can run $15,000–$40,000+ with demolition, dust, countertop risk, plumbing and electrical disruption, and weeks without a usable kitchen.

Pro Tip

Update your hardware at the same time for the biggest visual transformation.

Yes — we rescue DIY disasters every week. Wallpaper removal that tore drywall paper, popcorn scraping that gouged the ceiling, patch jobs that won’t blend — we’ve seen it all and fixed it all.

Pro Tip

Text us photos and we’ll tell you exactly what’s involved — no charge for the assessment.

Yes, 95% of the time. We match orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel, and smooth Level 5 finishes daily. We create test samples on scrap drywall, let you approve the match, then apply to the full area.

Pro Tip

We always do a test patch first so you can approve the match before we touch your walls.

Yes. We wet-scrape popcorn texture, skim coat the ceiling smooth, prime, and paint. A typical room takes 1–2 days. If there’s asbestos concern (homes built before 1980), we recommend testing first.

Pro Tip

Removing popcorn ceiling is one of the highest-impact upgrades you can do for under $1,000.

During your consultation, we photograph your actual walls and use professional software to show realistic previews of any paint color in your space. Full-wall previews, your real lighting, instant results. No tiny paint chips. No guessing.

Pro Tip

It’s included free with every estimate. Unlimited colors, zero pressure.

Not at all. Many clients come with no idea what they want — and that’s completely fine. We ask about your preferences, assess your space, consider your lighting, and guide you toward colors that work. Bring your Pinterest board if you have one.

Pro Tip

We can match any color from any brand — you’re not locked into one manufacturer.

Yes. Paint Doctors LLC holds an Alabama business license and carries general liability insurance. Public BBB and Google profiles are available for independent verification. If anything goes wrong on the job, our insurance covers it — not your homeowner’s policy.

Pro Tip

Always ask any painter for proof of insurance before they start work on your home.

$0 deposit to schedule. 30% due the day we physically arrive and start. Remaining 70% due only after your final walkthrough and you’re 100% satisfied. We accept cash, check, credit card, Venmo, Cash App, and Apple Pay.

Pro Tip

If something needs a touch-up at walkthrough, we handle it on the spot — not “we’ll come back.”

Every job comes with a 2-year warranty on materials and labor. If paint peels, bubbles, cracks, or fails due to our workmanship within 2 years, we come back and fix it at no charge. No arguments, no hoops.

Pro Tip

The Sherwin-Williams product warranty is separate and may extend beyond our 2-year labor warranty.

We serve all of Baldwin County (Daphne, Fairhope, Spanish Fort, Foley, Bay Minette, Loxley, Robertsdale, Silverhill, Summerdale, Stapleton, Stockton, Point Clear, Barnwell) and Mobile County (Mobile, Semmes, Satsuma, Saraland, Theodore). Max 30 minutes to any job.
