Why Cape St. Claire Homeowners Choose Finn’s Painting Company
Local insight
Homes here range from ranchers and split-levels to colonials and new construction on wooded lots. We tailor prep, primers, and products to your surfaces and how our coastal climate treats them.
Prep-first mindset
Durability lives in the details you don’t see: washing, sanding, caulking, repairing, and the right primer in the right spot. We do that work so topcoats lay smooth and stay put.
Right product, right place
Hallways need washable finishes. Baths need moisture resistance. Doors and trim want a tight enamel. Exteriors need UV and mildew defense. We match coatings to how each surface is used.
Respect for your space
Floors are covered, furniture is wrapped, vents are masked, and pathways are kept open. Tools are staged neatly, and everything is cleaned up daily.
Steady communication
You’ll have one point of contact and a simple daily update. No surprises—just predictable progress and a thorough final walk-through.
Interior Painting: Fresh, Peaceful Rooms You’ll Love
Fresh paint does more than change color—it changes how a room lives. Our interior team focuses on smooth surfaces, even coverage, and a schedule that fits your day.
Spaces we paint
- Living rooms, family rooms, bedrooms, nurseries, and home offices
- Kitchens, breakfast nooks, bathrooms, laundry rooms
- Hallways, stairwells, foyers, mudrooms, basements
- Ceilings, trim, doors, crown, wainscoting, built-ins, window sashes
Our Interior Process
- Walk-through & plan – Measure, note repairs, confirm colors/sheens, and map the schedule.
- Protection – Cover floors and furnishings, mask fixtures and vents, and set a tidy staging area.
- Prep – Clean/de-gloss where needed, fill nail pops, re-tape minor seams, sand, and caulk trim gaps.
- Prime strategically – Use the right primer for repairs, stains, and big color shifts to achieve uniform results.
- Precision painting – Clean cut lines, even rolling, proper film build for a refined, consistent texture.
- Trim & doors – Smoothed, filled, and finished with a durable enamel that resists fingerprints.
- Walk-through & touch-ups – We inspect with you and address anything you spot before we pack up.
Sheen's guidance that fits real life
- Flat/Matte: hides small wall texture; best for low-traffic rooms and ceilings
- Eggshell: soft look with better cleanability; great for living/dining rooms
- Satin: durable and wipeable; ideal for hallways and kids’ rooms
- Semi-gloss: tough and scrubbable; perfect for trim, doors, and cabinets
Color help
We’ll narrow options to a focused shortlist and place on-wall samples so you can see how shades read in morning light and at dusk before we paint.
Exterior Painting: Curb Appeal That Handles Chesapeake Weather
Exteriors around the Broadneck Peninsula face strong sun, humid evenings, spring pollen, and occasional coastal storms. Our approach sets up coatings to win in those conditions.
What we paint outside
- Wood, fiber cement, engineered siding, stucco, and masonry
- Fascia, soffits, trim, shutters, columns, and railings
- Front/side/garage doors; porch ceilings and beadboard
- Select metal elements (gutters, downspouts, handrails) with the correct primers.
Exterior Preperation that Protects
- Thorough washing to remove chalking, pollen, and mildew
- Scrape and feather-sand failing edges for smooth transitions.
- Minor carpentry and filler work where small defects appear
- Substrate-specific primers (tannin blockers for knots, bonding primers for slick surfaces)
- Flexible, paintable caulk at joints and penetrations to keep water out
Application done right
We apply coatings to windows according to manufacturer specs, in good weather, using the right tools for even color and consistent sheen. The goal: clean lines, uniform coverage, and finishes that hold up.
Exterior color planning
- Lower-sheen body paints minimize lap visibility on large siding fields
- Trim colors that frame, not fight, your architecture
Durable enamels for doors and rails that wipe clean easily
We’re glad to place samples on sunny and shaded elevations so you love your choices at every hour.
Cabinet Painting: Kitchen-Grade Finishes Without a Remodel
If your cabinets are solid but dated, professional cabinet painting can transform the whole kitchen—fast. With dedicated prep, bonding primer, and a hard-wearing enamel, you get a smooth, furniture-like finish that stands up to cooking and daily cleaning.
How We Do It
- Assessment & plan – Note wood species, prior finishes, worn edges, and hardware layout.
- Protection & labeling – Doors/drawers removed and numbered; hardware bagged; floors and counters protected.
- Deep clean & de-gloss – Remove oils/cleaner residue; scuff-sand for adhesion.
- Repairs – Fill dings, soften sharp edges, and (if desired) fill old hardware holes for new pulls.
- Prime – High-bond primer that grips slick factory finishes and blocks stains where needed.
- Leveling topcoats – Use thin, even passes with cabinet-grade tools or a controlled spray for a smooth profile.
- Cure & reassemble – Doors swing freely, reveal alignment, and hardware sits snug and straight.
- Care tips – We leave labeled paint and easy maintenance guidance.
Cabinet color ideas
- Soft whites/creams to brighten and modernize
- Greige/mushroom neutrals that play well with stone and wood
- Navy/charcoal islands for depth without closing the room
- Sage and muted green-grays for an organic, relaxed feel
Our Process: Organized, Tidy, and On-Time
- Clear scope – Exactly what’s included: rooms/elevations, repairs, coats, products, and schedule.
- Schedule fit – Consistent arrivals and a quick end-of-day update so you always know what’s next.
- Neat job sites – Staging kept tidy, pathways open, and daily cleanup built in.
- Quality checks – Each coat is checked under natural and artificial light.
- Final walk-through – Blue-tape anything you see, and we'll handle it before we leave.
- Touch-up support – Labeled paint stays with you for small fixes later.
Estimates & Pricing (Clarity First)
Every home is different, so we build your proposal around the real scope: room sizes and ceiling heights, repair needs, trim detail, substrate condition, and product selections. If it helps decision-making, we’ll show good/better/best coating paths and simple add-ons (accent walls, ceiling refreshes, door/trim upgrades) with separate line items. You’ll see where every dollar goes—and what each choice delivers.
