Twenty Years. Over 1,000 Portland Homes. One Standard of Work.
Having been in the Portland residential market for 20 years, we’ve seen it all. All the walls, all the surfaces, all the architectural quirks that older homes bring with them and all the preparations that are abbreviated with newer contractor-made homes. That experience isn’t just a number we put on a website it’s the reason our process is sharper, our product knowledge is deeper, and our ability to anticipate problems before they become your problem is something no newer company can replicate. Our standard hasn’t changed after more than 1000 finished homes. The thousandth project was treated with the same preparation, same materials, the same finishing attention as the first project. It’s that consistency that has helped us fulfill our promise of turning first-time clients into repeat clients and repeat clients into referrals that have been a key to our growth for two decades in a row.
From Interior Walls to Cabinet Finishes, We Cover It All
Portland homeowners come to By The Number Painting for four core services: interior painting, cabinet painting, drywall repair, and residential painting and every single one is handled with the same preparation standards and finishing quality. From one room to a whole home makeover, we evaluate all surfaces, prime appropriately and use the appropriate finish for each room’s specific use. The standard of cabinet painting is the same as is applied to a professionally sprayed, factory-smooth finish that is impossible to tell apart from brand new – without the $15,000 replacement cost. All of the irregularities are dealt with appropriately before any paint is applied anywhere in your home. Cracks, holes and water stains don’t go away when you paint them. We prepare all surfaces to a truly “Paint Ready” state, for we have never worked on anything other than “get it right the first time”.
Drywall Repair That Portland's Climate Demands
Maine puts residential walls through conditions that homeowners in milder states simply don’t deal with. Year after year, the expansion and contraction caused by the temperature change from the freezing first month of the year to the humidity of summer pushes nail pops through finished surfaces and opens stress fractures around door frames and works hairline cracks open along ceiling joints. This is not a maintenance failure it’s physics. Does mean, however, that Portland homes build up damage on their walls at a rate which requires a contractor who knows what’s going on under the surface, not just on the surface. By The Number Painting takes that diagnostic attitude to every drywall repair for that’s how repairs come back within a season, if they aren’t fixed for the cause.
The Difference Between a Painting Company and the Right One
For Portland homeowners, there is no dearth of painting contractors that they can simply select. What is really uncommon is someone who arrives on time, is clear about their communication throughout the project, knows which products to use for the specific surface, has a trained crew that they employ, and backs the job when it is completed. Residential painting has been doing that for more than 20 years, but not because it’s easy, it’s because that’s the only way to establish a reputation that allows a painting company to thrive on referrals. We’re not the most affordable in Portland. We’re the option that gets it right.
Honest Work. Premium Finish. No Exceptions.
As we’ve learned in 20 years of working in the Portland residential market, homeowners remember not just the finish of the paint on their walls, but the entire experience. If the crew arrived at the time promised. If the estimate was the same as the final invoice. If the painter that walked in the door treated their house with respect or like just one more job to complete. By The Number Painting was created based on doing all those things correctly, every time, without question. In order to make your home worth it, we use the best materials. We communicate clearly because your time matters. And we don’t leave until it’s exactly what we promised, because our reputation in this market is greater to us than any job ever has been.
