Colour consultation
An hour with our colour consultant, big painted samples on your own walls, and a written colour plan.
Service colourCL-05 Butter Yellow
How we do it
Paint chips are tiny, and store lights are not your lights. Our consultant comes to your home, looks at your floors, counters, furniture and the way the light moves through each room, then puts up large painted sample boards so you can live with them for a few days. You get a written plan with each colour, its sheen and where it goes. Book the painting with us and the fee comes off your invoice.
What's included
- In-home visit, about 60 to 90 minutes
- Up to 6 large painted sample boards to move around the room
- Sheen advice for walls, trim, ceilings and cabinets
- A written colour plan, room by room
- Exterior colours checked against your roof, brick or stone
- The fee credited back when you book the painting with us

Good to know
We show you colours from several paint makers. No brand pays us, so we suggest what suits the room and holds up, not whatever is on promotion this month.
When to book
Year round. Exterior colours are best chosen in spring daylight, before the busy season starts.
Time on site
One visit of 60 to 90 minutes, plan emailed within 3 business days.
Questions we hear
Do I have to hire you to paint if I book a consultation?
No. The plan is yours to keep. If you do book the painting with us, the consultation fee comes off the final invoice.
Can you match a colour I already have?
Yes. Bring us a chip of the old paint, a cabinet door or even a fabric swatch, and we'll have it matched and test it on a sample board first.
