Exactly what happens, from first visit to final walkthrough
No mystery, no radio silence. Every Broward Painter project runs through the same nine phases — here is what we do, what we need from you, and how long each step usually takes.
In-home consultation
60–90 minutesWe visit the space, measure everything, listen to how you use the room and talk honestly about budget.
What we do

- Check plumbing, electrical and any obvious problem areas
- Give you a realistic Broward County price range on the spot
What we need from you
- Share inspiration photos and must-haves
- Tell us your target budget and timing
Design & selections
1–3 weeksWe turn the measurements into a layout, then help you lock cabinetry, counters, tile, paint and fixtures.
What we do
- Produce the measured plan and layout options
- Build your finish and color schedule
- Price each selection so nothing is a surprise
What we need from you
- Review the layout options
- Approve the finish selections
