Our Painting Process | Fine Line Painting – Parker, CO

A Clear, Professional Process for Flawless Results

At Fine Line Painting, we believe great results come from great preparation. That’s why every project — from a single room to a full exterior repaint — follows a clear, five-step process designed for efficiency, precision, and customer satisfaction.


Whether we’re painting your kitchen cabinets, staining your deck, or refreshing your entire home, our method ensures your property is protected, respected, and finished to the highest standard.

Step 1: Set-Up – Protecting Your Space from the Start

Before we open a can of paint, we make sure your home or workspace is protected and ready. Our crew carefully prepares the work area to ensure minimal disruption and full protection of your belongings.



During Set-Up, We:

Review project details with you before starting

This step sets the tone for a clean, respectful project from day one.

Step 2: Prepare – The Foundation of a Great Finish

Proper preparation is what separates a basic paint job from a professional one. We take time to prepare every surface so that the final coat adheres properly and lasts longer.



Our Preparation Includes:

Cleaning and degreasing surfaces (especially for cabinets or kitchens)

Step 3: Paint – Applying Color with Care and Precision

Step 4: Clean – Respecting Your Home Like It’s Our Own
