Common Questions
Before you call,
Before you call,
here are the answers.
These are the questions we get most often. Don't see yours? Call Terry directly at 337-352-0308.
Yes, we can match virtually any existing color from any brand using a paint chip, photo, or color code. We paint exclusively with Sherwin-Williams, so the color gets matched into their formula and applied with the product their warranty backs. Just let us know during the estimate walkthrough.
A standard interior room takes 1–2 days including prep and two coats. A full home interior typically runs 3–5 days depending on size, ceiling height, and the amount of trim and detail work. We'll give you a timeline in writing before we start.
Yes, and we think this is where a lot of painting companies cut corners. We handle sheetrock repair, stucco patching, caulking, sanding, and priming before any paint goes on. For exterior jobs we also address soffit, fascia, and wood rot. Repairs are scoped during the walkthrough.
We cover floors with drop cloths and plastic sheeting, mask trim and fixtures, and move or protect furniture before we start. We take protecting your property as seriously as the paint job itself. It's part of every project, not an add-on.
We're based in Lafayette and serve all of south Louisiana, including Lafayette, Broussard, Youngsville, Baton Rouge, Lake Charles, Carencro, Scott, Duson, Maurice, New Iberia, Abbeville, Erath, Crowley, Jennings, Opelousas, Eunice, Breaux Bridge, St. Martinville, Morgan City, and surrounding areas. For large jobs, we'll travel further — call or text 337-352-0308 and tell us about the project.
We stand behind every job. If something isn't right after we've finished, call us and we'll come back and make it right. No runaround. We're a local company and our reputation depends on the quality of our work. Specific warranty terms are included in your written estimate.

“The Paint Guys were the absolute best. I have a large older home built in 1908, hadn't been painted in 25 years. They washed, sanded, repaired the stucco, painted the fence. I was blown away. After 6 bids I'm glad I chose Terry Chesnut and The Paint Guys.”
