FAQs
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. Hawthorne Painting provides a free estimate on every project. All quotes are given in writing, and any changes to the job are mutually agreed upon before the work moves ahead.
What areas do you serve?
Hawthorne Painting is based in Philadelphia, PA and proudly serves the city, taking on residential, commercial, and rental property work.
Is your work guaranteed?
Yes. The company stands behind its work, and all of it is guaranteed to be exactly what you are looking for. Hawthorne treats every client as a client for life, so the aim on each job is to get it right.
Do you paint commercial properties?
Yes. Hawthorne Painting has worked with many owners on their places of business over the years, often working off hours to accommodate their operating hours. The commercial client list published on the company site runs from the late 90s through to current projects.
How is my home protected during an interior job?
Furniture and fixtures are covered with plastic and heavy drop cloths are laid over the floors before painting starts. Depending on the scope, the crew can work in sections and complete one portion at a time so your entire house is not a job site for the duration.
What is involved in an exterior painting project?
The work area is coned and caution taped first so pedestrians and vehicles can see the crew and the job site. Most times the building is washed down to remove dirt that would prevent proper paint adhesion, followed by scraping away flaking paint, sanding, priming, and caulking. Minor carpentry such as replacing window sills, frames, and other failed wood materials is handled when needed, and exteriors are finished with premium Sherwin-Williams products.
Can you help landlords turn over a rental unit?
Yes. The rental turnover service covers debris removal, cleaning and sanitizing the unit including appliances, small repairs such as smoke detectors, locks, and lights, and a repaint. It gets a unit rent ready with one call instead of scheduling cleaners, painters, and repairmen separately.
Do you restore decks and finish basements?
Yes to both. Deck work ranges from a straightforward pressure wash to a complete restoration, which can include replacing rotted decking, rails, and posts, resecuring shaky posts, treads, and rails, refastening raised screws and nails, and applying clear coat water sealers or stains. For basements, walls are patched and coated with a masonry waterproofing paint, and floor cracks and holes are repaired with hydraulic and liquid cement before two coats of floor enamel are applied.
