Trust the experienced, reliable professionals for your home
Why Painting Is Not As Straightforward As It Seems
You’ve probably thought about repainting your home yourself—whether it’s the interior, the exterior, or both. It might seem straightforward: grab a bucket of paint, a roller, and you’re ready to go.
But before you dive in, consider this: painting isn’t as easy as it looks. If you’re not an experienced painter, you’re likely to spend far more time than you anticipated, struggling with uneven coats, drips, and missed spots. And that’s just the beginning. Choosing the wrong type of paint or applying it incorrectly can lead to peeling, fading, and costly repairs down the road.
Instead of enjoying a fresh, beautiful finish, you might end up with a frustrating mess that leaves you out of time, out of patience, and out of money.
When you trust and invest in professionals to do the professional work, you enjoy a long-lasting result, save money, and get more free time to spend doing the things that matter to you.
We Openly Talk About Our Higher Prices. Here’s Why:
It’s easy to find a cheap painting company, but what you won’t get is a great paint job at a bargain price. Our services are built on delivering top-quality work, which requires skill honed over years of experience, the use of high-quality materials, and a commitment of time.
Good painters aren’t easy to come by, and they don’t come cheap. We invest in our crew by offering competitive salaries, allowing them to focus on doing their best work without worries. This investment in our team translates to exceptional results for you.
Our quotes aren’t “high”—they’re honest and transparent. Unlike many contractors who lure you in with low prices only to surprise you with change orders and hidden costs, we’re upfront about what it takes to meet your needs and exceed your expectations.
And we stand behind our work with a 3-Year No Questions Asked Warranty. Withthe overwhelming majority of our customers returning to us for future projects, it’s clear that our work and our commitment to excellence speak for themselves. We’ve got your back long after the project is finished.

The key element that sets us apart from our competitors is our process. In over 16 years of experience, we’ve fine-tuned and optimized every step. Our aim is to not only deliver an unmatched quality job, but also create an environment where you feel safe, understood, and appreciated.
​
​Below we’ve broken down the process so you know exactly what to expect from Sherwood Painting if you choose us for your painting project.
Step 1. Get In Touch With Us
When you’ve decided it’s time to give your home the professional paint it deserves, get in touch with us. After many years in this business, we understand the connection you have with your home better than anyone. That’s why we’re invested in offering you a 5-star customer experience, instead of just performing a transaction. Fill out the contact form or get in touch with us directly at (616) 321-8272
Step 2. We Call You Back Within A Day
You won’t have to wait for weeks to hear back from us. Within a day of your inquiry, we’ll give you a call back. We’ll have a short talk about your project, to see how we can best help. We’ll also request you send us some pictures to better understand your vision, if you haven’t sent them already.
Step 3. Phone Consultation And Estimate
After receiving the pictures, we’ll have a second phone conversation to explore all the variables of your project. When we are on the same page, we will be able to provide a verbal estimate during the call. We will also schedule the on-site visit.
Step 4. On-Site Visit And FREE Color Consultation
At the on-site visit, we’ll take a walk around your house. We’ll make sure we didn’t miss anything during the phone consultation, and we’ll finalize the contract. You’ll also receive a free color consultation if you need one, to make sure the final result is the spectacular vision you have. By the end of the day, you’ll hear back from us with a final quote.
Step 5. Getting Your Job On the Calendar
The next step is scheduling your project. We are usually booked out 5-6 weeks in advance. Meanwhile, we’ll stay in touch via phone and email.Cheryl, our client liaison and project manager, will send you an email with a video about what to expect and what you need to do to prepare for the project. If you’re having an exterior paint job, you’ll receive a 3-day notice about power washing too.
Step 6. Pre-Job Walkthrough
On the day your project is scheduled to start, Brian will review the Work Order with you. You’ll be introduced to your foreman and the crew. A pre-job walkthrough ensures that everyone is on the same page
Step 7. The Prepping And Priming Phase
Usually on the same day, we start protecting your property. It doesn’t matter if it’s an interior painting job or an exterior one. We’ll protect anything and everything, including the driveway, landscape, doors, windows, and floors. The next step is the priming phase, in which an initial undercoat is applied before the actual paint to ensure a durable, quality paint job.
Step 8. Addressing Possible Repairs
As we paint your home, we might find unforeseen damage that typically goes unnoticed until you get close. We’ll document them and let you know about any damage we find along the way. We have skilled carpenters on our team that can take care of the issues if you decide to address them. This approach ensures the decision is in your hands and prevents hidden fees.
Step 9. Painting And Post-Job Walkthrough
We’re very proud of our efficiency. In fact, most of our customers are shocked by the timeline we give. They think a high-quality paint job must take weeks, or something’s not right. But by having an efficient process, we are able to generally surpass expectations. When the painting is complete, we do a walkthrough and inspection with the whole crew to make sure everything is spotless.
Step 10. Next-Day Visit And Final Payment
After the painting job is complete, we’ll let you enjoy your freshly painted house. But we’re not out of the picture just yet. Brian will swing by within the next day to check on your project in person. Once you’re absolutely happy with the result, we’ll send you the final invoice for payment.
Step 11. Follow-up Visit Or Phone Call
We like to go the extra mile for every one of our clients. That’s why within 3 days of project completion, Dan or Kate will check back in with you. We give our customers another chance to look around and make sure there aren’t any things we didn’t catch.
12. Our Warrantylkthrough
The typical paint company warranty lasts until the van is out of sight. We protect you with a 3-Year No Questions Asked warranty. Repainting our area’s older houses is a challenging task which we strive to execute with perfection. But if you notice any issues after we’re out the door, within a 3 year period, we’ll jump right in to fix it, no questions asked.
Step 13. Welcome Home!
Enjoy the freshness of your newly painted home, knowing that on the outside it’s protected from the elements, while on the inside it’s personalized to your style and taste. Welcome to your new home!
