Previous work
A few finished jobs.
Staircase and railings
Risers, stringers, spindles and newel posts painted white. Treads and handrail left as wood.
Two-storey stairwell
Walls and ceiling through a tall stairwell, painted before the stairs were finished.
Deck staining
Front steps, weathered to grey, brought back with a deep brown stain.
Kitchen cabinets
Original oak doors, drawer fronts and boxes painted white. Same boxes, same layout, same microwave.
Before & after
Prep is most of the job.
A kitchen of original oak cabinets — doors, drawer fronts and boxes — taken to white. Same kitchen, same layout. Nothing torn out.
Before
After
Cabinets take more prep than anything else in a house. Kitchen grease has to come off before anything will stick, oak grain needs sealing or it shows through, and the finish has to stand up to being wiped down for years. That's where the time goes, not the top coats.
Services
What gets done.
One job at a time, inside or out. Patching, sanding and caulking are in the price. No change orders halfway through.
Kitchen cabinets
Doors, drawer fronts and boxes, taken from dated oak to a colour that suits the room. Prepped so the finish stands up to being wiped down.
Deck staining
Decks, steps and railings, stained or sealed. Needs warm, dry weather, so it books up for summer.
Stairs, railings & trim
Baseboards, casings, doors, stair rails and spindles. Slow work, and it's the first thing people notice.
Closets & built-ins
Shelving, rods and the inside of the door. Small jobs, done on their own or tacked onto a room.
Furniture refinishing
Small pieces: dressers, side tables, chairs. Sanded back and repainted or restained.
Drywall & mudding
Nail pops, cracks, water stains and patchwork mudded, sanded and blended before paint goes on.
Backsplash installation
Kitchen backsplashes set and grouted, usually as the last step of a cabinet job.

About
One painter, start to finish.
On The Roll Painters is new. It's run by Lexis Carter, who does all of the work.
No foreman, no crew rotating through, nobody in the house you haven't already met. One job at a time, so yours isn't getting rushed to reach the next one.
Previous jobs have run from a single closet to a whole kitchen, with stairwells, railings and decks along the way.
Inside work carries on through the winter while the exterior crews sit still, so a room that's been waiting since the fall can get booked now. Decks and doors wait for the warm months.
If a finish fails because of how it went on, it gets fixed. That's the warranty. There's no small print under it.
Taking on work now.
