💎 Why ‘Luxury Painting’ Costs More — And Why It’s Worth It

If you’ve ever looked at a paint quote and wondered, “Why does this company charge three times more than the others?” — you're not alone. The truth is: not all painting is created equal.

In fact, the price tag often reflects an entirely different level of service, materials, and result. At Total Quality Painting, we specialize in what we call “luxury painting.” And we’re here to explain why it costs more — and why it’s worth every penny.

1. Prep is King (and Takes Time)

Luxury painting isn’t fast. It’s detailed. It starts with hours — sometimes days — of prep work. Walls get cleaned, patched, sanded, caulked, primed, and sanded again before the first coat goes on. Cabinets might go through 6–8 total layers (including multiple rounds of sanding and curing) to get a showroom-quality finish.

Cheap painters cut these corners. We never do.

2. Elite Materials Matter

Paint isn’t just paint. We use the best in the industry — Fine Paints of Europe, Benjamin Moore Aura, and Sherwin-Williams Emerald. These paints aren’t just more expensive — they’re higher in solids, more color-stable, and engineered for superior durability and sheen.

In the case of Fine Paints of Europe, the resins are marine-grade. The finish on your front door is built to withstand the kind of weather that beats down on yachts.

3. Skill and Experience

Luxury painting requires a different mindset and level of training. Our painters:

• Understand advanced spraying techniques

• Know how to work in controlled environments to avoid dust

• Are trained to sand between coats, monitor cure times, and spot imperfections

This is not “just painting.” This is finish work — and it’s executed like art.

4. Customization and Care

From color consultations to custom sheen matching and luxury finishes, we offer bespoke painting — tailored to your vision. Want your interior trim to look like fine furniture? Or your front door to look like a grand piano? We can do that — because we take the time to understand what luxury means to you.

Investing in Luxury Painting is Investing in Your Home

Our clients aren’t looking for the cheapest bid. They’re looking for a partner who values craftsmanship and longevity — someone who treats their home like a masterpiece in progress.

If that sounds like you — let’s talk.
