The quote is the invoice
Fixed, itemised, room by room. Variations only ever happen in writing, before the work, never after it.
Our Standard
Obsessive about the boring parts
Anyone can make a wall look good for a fortnight. The Drawdown Standard is a written set of habits that makes it look good in year four.
The crew that shows up
Six painters, employed, not day-hired. The person who quotes your job is on your job, and the crew that starts it finishes it.
- Marcus Hale
- Crew lead. 18 years on the brush.
- Priya Nathan
- Prep and interior finishes.
- Dan Kovac
- Exteriors and access work.
The Drawdown Standard
Five commitments, written into every quote
DD 022
Prep is never skipped
Fill, sand, prime, dust-wipe. If a surface is not ready, it does not get painted that day.
DD 033
Lines are cut by hand
Ceilings, corners and trim get a brush and a steady hand, not a strip of tape and hope.
DD 044
Your house stays yours
Doorways sealed, floors sheeted, tools packed down each night. We are guests with sandpaper.
DD 055
We come back
Two-year written warranty. A failed line gets fixed on our time, not argued about on yours.
What prep actually means here
Peeling edges get scraped back to sound substrate and feathered flat. Hairline cracks get raked out and filled twice, because filler shrinks. Glossy trim gets scuff-sanded so the new coat has something to hold. Water stains get a stain-blocking primer, not a third coat of hope. None of this is visible when we leave. All of it is why the finish lasts.
On paper, not on promise
Every job carries LIC. 000000, public liability insurance to $5,000,000, and a two-year written workmanship warranty. The documents arrive with the quote, before you have asked for them.
