Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the questions we hear most. Still have one? Give us a call.
Do you offer free estimates? +
Yes, always. Estimates are free with no obligation, and we usually get back to you within 24 hours, often the same day.
What areas do you serve? +
We serve Lewis County (Centralia, Chehalis, Napavine, Winlock, Toledo, Vader, Onalaska, Pe Ell, Rochester, and Grand Mound) and Thurston County (Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater, Yelm, Tenino, and Rainier). Not sure if you are in our area? Give us a call.
Are you licensed, bonded, and insured? +
Yes. Gullard Painting is fully licensed, bonded, and insured.
What kind of paint do you use? +
We use professional-grade paints and primers, typically Sherwin-Williams, chosen to hold up to Pacific Northwest weather. The right product depends on the surface and the job, and we will walk you through it.
Do you spray, or brush and roll? +
We prefer brush and roll for most work because it gives us better control and a more durable finish. We spray where it genuinely makes sense for the project.
How far in advance should I book? +
We stay in demand, so the sooner you reach out the better, especially heading into the busy painting season. We will give you an honest timeline when you call.
What services do you offer? +
Interior and exterior painting, new construction, small commercial work, cabinet painting, and deck and fence staining. If you are not sure whether a project is a fit, just ask.
Do I need to be home during the job? +
It depends on the job. Some projects need someone home, others do not. We confirm what is needed when we schedule your work.
How long will exterior paint last in our climate? +
With proper prep and premium paint, a good exterior job lasts many years. Our wet climate makes surface prep the most important step, which is exactly where we do not cut corners.
What makes Gullard different? +
We are a family-owned local business, not a franchise. We are detail-oriented, prep-focused, and we treat every home like our own. Our reviews reflect it.
