Before and after painting projects in Central Arkansas
Exterior Painting · Central Arkansas · 2024
Hailey’s Curb Appeal
Black columns become honey cedar; siding finds its forest
The original black columns were swallowing the porch. We brought them back to natural honey cedar, painted the siding in a deep forest green, and let the brick read white instead of beige. Same architecture — completely different mood.
Whole-Home Interior · Central Arkansas · 2024
Brandy’s Whole-Home Reset
From rental beige to soft warm white, room by room
Whole-house repaints are the highest-leverage single project a homeowner can take on — and Brandy’s is a great example of why. Walls and trim moved from a heavy rental beige to a soft, warm white that lets the floors and the natural light do their job.
Interior Painting · Nob Hill, AR · 2024
Nob Hill — Upstairs Refresh
Stair stringers, walls, and trim in one continuous tone
An upstairs that lacked a clear voice. We unified the walls, the trim, the railing, and the stair stringers in one consistent palette so the second floor finally reads as one space.
Cabinet Refinishing · Cabot, AR · 2024
Cabot Kitchen Cabinets
Tired light blue refinished to a clean, modern off-white
A 1990s pale-blue cabinet set, refinished in a modern off-white with a furniture-grade enamel. Doors removed, sprayed off-site, and reinstalled with labeled hardware — no brush marks, no orange peel.
Interior Painting · Central Arkansas · 2024
The Coffey Man-Cave
A workshop becomes a place you actually want to hang out
A garage-into-rec-room conversion. We worked around the existing finished trim, painted the new drywall in a clean modern white, and let the room finally feel like an indoor space instead of a leftover one.
Brick Whitewashing · Central Arkansas · 2024
Vestel Brick Whitewashing
Heavy red brick lifted to a soft, lived-in white wash
Whitewashing is one of the most dramatic outdoor transformations available — and it’s a one-way door, so we always sample first. Vestel’s brick went from a heavy, dark red to a luminous, lived-in white that lets the architecture breathe.
Interior Painting · Central Arkansas · 2024
DeLaine’s Bathroom Walls
Goodbye textured pink. Hello clean, calm gray.
Original textured pink walls scraped, skimmed smooth, and finished in a neutral mineral gray. Bathrooms are forgiving spaces for big color changes — and one of the best places to feel the difference a fresh coat actually makes.
Accent Wall · Central Arkansas · 2024
The Ball Accent Wall
One wall added the whole room’s personality
The smallest of our before/afters and one of the most satisfying. A single accent wall in a deep, moody hue that completely changed the gravity of the room.
Accent Wall · Central Arkansas · 2024
Spillway Accent Wall
Slat detailing painted to disappear into the wall
A wood-slat accent wall painted in a single deep tone so the slats become texture, not pattern. A great example of what good prep and a careful spray pass can do for a feature wall.
Exterior Painting · Higden, AR · 2024
Higden House Paint & Pressure Wash
Pressure wash, scrape, prime, finish — full exterior reset
The full process on display. We pressure-washed and scraped first, then primed every bare surface and finished in a calm, modern palette. The same house — only ten years younger.
Commercial Industrial Repaint · Central Arkansas · 2024
Murphy Fuel-Tank Repaint
Industrial tanks brought back to a clean, branded finish
Industrial work isn’t just for industrial-looking buildings — it’s for any structure that has to perform outside in Arkansas weather. We prepped, primed, and finished these fuel tanks in a clean, durable system that’ll outlast the next decade of sun.
Door Refinishing · Central Arkansas · 2024
Engel Porch Doors
Aged wood revived to a smooth, weather-tight finish
Front-and-back porch doors that had spent a decade in the weather. We sanded, primed, and finished both faces — including the often-forgotten edges — for a finish that seals the door instead of just covering it.
Door Refinishing · Central Arkansas · 2024
Gillispie Back Doors
Faded white refinished in a deep, modern accent tone
A pair of back doors refinished as a contrasting accent against a light exterior. Doors are the cheapest piece of architecture you can repaint and the one that makes the biggest visual difference per dollar.
Deck Staining · Saint Joe, AR · 2024
Saint Joe Deck — Boards
Sun-grayed boards stripped, sanded, and re-stained
A multi-year deck restoration. We stripped, brightened, and sanded the boards back to raw wood, then flood-coated and back-brushed in two coats so the stain sits evenly in the grain. The difference is most dramatic at sunset.
Deck Staining · Saint Joe, AR · 2024
Saint Joe Deck — Railings
Fresh stain on every spindle, edge, and end-grain
The same Saint Joe deck — railings, spindles, and balusters. Easy to skim past in a quote, expensive to do properly. We treated every spindle individually so the railing reads as a single piece instead of a striped one.
