I selected Tom's InsideOutside to paint the interior of my home. I've lived here over 25 years and definitely needed paint. Wallpaper removed in the den and a bedroom that had been painted over. Although this removal took a couple days to complete, you would've never known the previous state of these walls, they came out perfect! Tom's team was skilled, professional and the final product was just that, PROFESSIONAL! My neighbors were in awe on how beautiful my home looks. If you want your home painted by a top notch company, Tom's Inside Outside is your answer!

We hired Tom’s Inside Out Painting to paint the interior of a 51 year old home we had just purchased. The interior walls were a disaster with nearly every flaw possible. Holes everywhere, drywall damage, door casing and baseboard issues, 4 different wall colors and copious amounts of cheap paint that had been applied carelessly by the previous owners. We were not sure if the walls could be saved. After obtaining multiple painting bids we selected Tom’s Painting because he was the only painting company that we felt was up to the task and that could meet our high standards. We wanted top quality work, not cheap work. We also needed the work completed on a quick schedule since we sold our other home and needed to move soon. Tom put his team of amazing craftsman to work and with his support Rodolfo, Drew and the other men worked methodically and did not cut corners. They made an extra effort to complete the small details and when the job was finished the home interior was unrecognizable from what it had looked like just 8 days prior. The home interior was transformed into a thing of beauty and class. Tom also has an exceptional talent for advising on wall color selection and how to blend all the colors together with the different features of the home. The color choices Tom guided us to turned out to be perfect. Tom and his crew worked well with the other contractors and helped to solve problems when challenges arose. Tom was also excellent about keeping us appraised of the work progress and would call us for a meeting if we needed to make a design or repair decision. In the end his crew worked two weekends and through the week and finished the work a day earlier than promised. This was a difficult job and the finished work was far better than we hoped and we cannot thank Tom and his team for all they did on our behalf. A very professional and talented company. I will add pictures later to this review if I can.

We used Tom's Inside Out Painting to do interior painting and some wall repair to prepare our house to sell. We are very pleased with the job completed. Tom's staff arrived each day at the time promised, did an excellent job prepping the house for painting and cleaning up when the job was completed. If you need painting, we recommend their services!

  • HOA compliance: Color schemes and finish selections are coordinated to meet HOA approval requirements before work begins.

How Proper Surface Preparation Protects Multi-Unit Buildings

On large properties, skipping preparation leads to premature paint failure across dozens of surfaces. Tom's Inside Out Painting treats every surface properly before any topcoat is applied:

  • Power washing to remove dirt, mold, mildew, and chalk from exterior surfaces
  • Patching stucco cracks and repairing wood substrates before painting
  • Priming all bare surfaces and repaired areas for maximum adhesion
  • Caulking around windows, trim, and penetrations to prevent moisture intrusion

For a full overview of surface prep requirements, visit the surface preparation guide.

Repainting schedule: Exterior surfaces on multi-unit properties typically need repainting every 5 to 10 years depending on sun exposure, finish quality, and original prep work. Interior common areas often benefit from refreshing every 3 to 7 years.

Managing Multi-Unit Projects with Minimal Disruption

Keeping residents comfortable during a large painting project requires planning. Here's how Tom's Inside Out Painting handles it:

  • 1
    Project Planning & Scheduling

    Work is phased by building or section so active areas remain accessible to residents throughout the project.

  • 2
    Resident Communication

    Property managers receive advance notice for each phase. Residents are informed of timelines, expected noise, and access restrictions.

  • 3
    Coordinated Execution

    Crews work during agreed hours, use low-odor products where possible, and keep common areas clear and accessible.

  • 4
    Final Walkthrough

    A comprehensive quality check is completed before the project is signed off, covering every building and unit included in scope.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should property managers look for when choosing a painting contractor?

How often should multi-unit properties be repainted?
Exterior surfaces typically need repainting every 5 to 10 years. Interior common areas often benefit from refreshing every 3 to 7 years. Regular inspections help identify areas that need earlier attention.
