The Hillcrest standard
A paint job done right the first time.
We restore homes through beauty — inside and out — with clean work, real communication, and one simple promise: we do what we say we will do.

You know what we're doing, what it costs, and what comes next.
Our name is our seal.
We promise what we say, and we fulfill the promise — from the first conversation through the final walkthrough.

About The Hillcrest Company
This is not one person. This is us.
The company name is the signature on every project — a shared standard meant to be carried forward by the people who do the work.
A promise people can count on.
The Hillcrest Company exists to do painting the way it should be done: honest pricing, real preparation, careful finishes, and clear communication. We promise what we say, and we fulfill the promise.
Craft grows through people.
We are a family business, and we treat the crew like family. Every person matters. The care our team brings into a customer's home should be the same care we would bring into our own — clean work, respect, and high standards from everyone.

Frequently asked questions
Straight answers before we start.
If your question is not here, call us. We would rather have a clear conversation than make you guess.
We do not give blind ballpark numbers because every home and scope is different. Your consultation is free and your estimate is clear and honest; our price may not be the cheapest bid, because the preparation and quality are part of the work.
We are currently scheduling interior work from November through February. We can also lock in an exterior price and a place on the spring schedule.
It depends on the size, surfaces, and preparation the project needs. We will give you a realistic schedule with the estimate and communicate if anything changes.
Yes — every approved proposal includes an in-person color consultation. If you are stuck between colors, whites, or finishes, we will help you make a choice that works with the room and the rest of your home.
We use only premium Sherwin-Williams products, selected for the surface and the finish the project needs. We will explain what we are using and why before the work begins.
We will tell you exactly what to move before your start date. Our team handles the serious protection and preparation — masking, covering, sanding, caulking, and priming where needed.
Ask us for the current insurance details with your estimate. We will give you the information you need clearly, without making you chase it.
We explain what is covered for your specific project before you approve it. The principle is simple: we promise what we say, and we stand behind that promise.
We install wallpaper, from one detailed accent wall to full rooms. Show us what is there now and what you want next, and we will confirm the preparation and removal needed.
Yes. We offer full drywall services — installation, finishing, and repairs — so patches and damaged areas disappear into the finished wall instead of showing through the paint.
Journal

What “done right the first time” actually means
It is not a slogan. It is a series of small decisions made before the paint ever reaches the wall.
