Residential painting is what we do — every day, every project. Monarch is a true residential-only contractor, which means we don't moonlight on commercial jobs or chase apartment-complex contracts. Our entire crew, scheduling system, and warranty are built around homeowners. Whether your project is a single accent wall or a whole-house interior + exterior + cabinets package, you get the same project manager, the same lead foreman, and the same 5-year written warranty. That focus is why we're rated 4.9 stars across 187+ reviews.
Our Residential Painting Process
Project scoping
We meet you on-site, walk the entire home, and listen first. We ask about pets, kids, schedules, color preferences, and pain points from past paint jobs. Then we build an estimate that fits your timeline and budget.
Detailed proposal
Within 24 hours you receive a line-itemed proposal: rooms, surfaces, sheens, products, prep scope, schedule, and total. No vague 'paint two rooms' bids — every wall and trim run is accounted for.
Scheduling & deposit
Once you approve, we lock your dates and collect a small deposit. Most whole-home projects are scheduled within 2–4 weeks of approval depending on season.
Daily execution
Same crew start to finish. Daily check-ins from the foreman. Job site cleaned every evening. Photos shared via text. No surprises, no scope-creep without written change orders.
Final walk + warranty
Project manager walks the entire home with you, builds a punch list, and we don't leave until every item is done. You get touch-up paint, a written warranty, and a follow-up call at 30 days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer whole-house pricing?+
Yes — and bundling interior, exterior, and cabinets typically saves 10–15% versus pricing each separately.
Can you paint while we live in the home?+
Absolutely. We sequence rooms so you always have living space, kitchen, and at least one bathroom available.
