On Monday of this week, we received an email request from a gentleman who was in a hurry to get a few rooms repainted. He was moving out of his home and into another one very shortly. He had two, bright colored rooms that he wanted to be more neutral in color before he rented it out. We suggested that he try our Painter For a Day program because it was a small project, and we were not able to schedule an estimate in such a short window of time. We quoted an approximate price with materials (Currently $485 for the day) and he agreed to have us do the work. The next challenge we both faced was scheduling the work within two days. We were pretty booked this week but juggled things around to get the right foreman to his home by Wednesday morning.
Juan showed up on time in a Hallco van, with the right paint and tools to get started! In 8 hours, Juan painted both bedrooms with two full coats and left the place spotless! The customer contacted us and said that he did an excellent job and was very prompt. We did not know how pleased he was until he contacted us that very night to do another mayday job at his new home! We pulled a few more magic tricks somehow scheduled Juan to do the next job early Friday morning (today). Juan did the minor touch ups in 4 hours and headed for home!
So, if you have a job of any size, let us know. We'll make it happen!
Hallco was the first company in Maryland to introduce the Painter For a Day program, which began it's popularity by the Chism Brothers in San Diego. David Chism, helped with the marketing of the successful paint program while working for his father and now lives in Maryland, working for Hallco Enterprises.

Hallco Enterprises, Frederick's expert exterior house paint company, is gearing up to begin the painting of the exterior of a townhome in Frederick Maryland. Several years ago, we painted the complete interior of this townhome, and the owners decided they wanted Hallco to paint the exterior trim when it was time. We were very grateful to receive the phone call asking us to bid on repainting their trim. Exposed woodwork in the Frederick area takes quite a beating, and needs good quality paint every 5-7 years. After the estimate was shared with the owners, they agreed that our price was very reasonable and awarded us the project on the spot.
We will be painting all of the exterior woodwork work two full coats of Benjamin Moore Aura.
If you are interested in viewing this project while we are working there are are looking for a quality painter, please email or call our office so we can tell you more about this project.

Hallco Enterprises is still painting homes in July but is also traveling the country! David Chism, our estimator, just returned from a 4 day trip to Portland, OR for the 10th annual Advanced Shop Talk (AST) of the Painting and Decorating Contractors of America's Residential Forum. This years event featured a "shop hop" where 50+ professional painters were able to tour a member's painting office and shop. They also spend some time touring the Purdy Paint brush factory and a local paint manufacturer. They got to see first hand how paint is made! The actual conference was Friday and Saturday and discussed many different avenues of how to run a successful house painting business from websites and marketing to hiring the right people and training techniques. The conference took place in downtown Portland and The NINES hotel. David Chism is a current board member of the Residential forum and took an active role this year in being a presenter. David had two prepared presentations on website design and estimating techniques. He also assisted a group discussion on using the latest in technology in your paint company.
As David was wrapping up his time in Portland, our owner, Ted Hall, was flying to the west coast too. Ted and Karin Hall will be attending the national Christmas Decor conference in Reno, NV this week. This is the annual event to help all the Christmas Decor companies around the U.S. gear up for this years displays, learn about any new products and receive any additional training.
Christmas is just around the corner, and Hallco will be ready to service Maryland, Northern Virginia and D.C. with installing the best Christmas lighting display you will ever see. If you don't need a lighting display but need painting, we keep our painting running year round, so give us a call either way.

We recently received a call to repaint a dining room table and 4 chairs in the North Potomac, near Kentlands area. When I looked at the chairs and table, I realized the last paint job was done by a painter using cans of spray paint! It was a decent job but a little funny looking.
Once we agreed on a price, we sent our foreman to their home to use professional spray equipment and the right materials this time around. The project took approximately 6 hours to complete and two coats of Sherwin-Williams Satin Impervo. The estimate was performed on a Tuesday and the work was done 2 days later, in time for out of town guest!
