Question 1

Do you handle cabinet refinishing, popcorn ceiling removal, epoxy floors, or staining?

Accepted Answer

Yes, BCI Painting refinishes cabinets, installs durable epoxy floor coatings, and stains or seals decks, fences, and other wood surfaces. While we don’t perform complete popcorn-ceiling abatement, we can paint or skim-coat textured ceilings and will recommend trusted specialists if full removal or asbestos remediation is needed.

Need a single crew that can tackle multiple specialty finishes? BCI Painting has you covered across Northeast Georgia.

Cabinet refinishing: Our team removes doors and drawer fronts, performs dust-free sanding, then applies a factory-grade paint or wood stain plus a tough clear coat. The result is a kitchen or bath that looks brand-new for a fraction of what it would cost to replace.

Epoxy floors: For garages, showrooms, kitchens, and warehouses, we shot-blast concrete, repair cracks, and apply a three-layer epoxy system that resists hot-tire pickup, chemicals, and heavy traffic. Choose solid colors, decorative flakes, or a high-gloss finish.

Staining: Sun, rain, and foot traffic take a toll on decks, fences, and pergolas. We pressure wash, let the wood dry, then apply professional-grade stains and sealers that soak deep and block UV damage for years.

Popcorn ceilings: If your textured ceiling is simply dingy, we can prime and repaint it, or apply a smooth skim coat for a modern look. When asbestos testing shows full removal is required, we partner with licensed abatement pros and handle the finishing paint afterward.

Every service is backed by our two-year workmanship warranty, full insurance, EPA Lead-Safe certification, and 25+ years of local experience. Request your free, no-pressure estimate today.

Question 2

Do you provide color consultations or test samples before we commit?

Accepted Answer

Yes. As Northeast Georgia painters, BCI Painting includes a friendly color consultation with every project and can brush out test samples or order sample quarts so you can truly see the shade in your own lighting before you commit.

As the premier painting contractor in Northeast Georgia, BCI knows choosing colors can feel overwhelming. Whether it’s for inside or outside your home or business, you receive a complimentary color consultation.

During your free painting estimate our insured, EPA Lead-Safe certified painters arrive with full fan decks, trending palettes, and digital visualization tools. We walk each room or façade with you, discuss lighting, sheen, durability, and even neighborhood guidelines, then narrow the options to a short list that fits your style and budget.

Need extra peace of mind? We can order sample quarts or brush out small test patches on the actual surface. Living with those swatches for a day or two lets you see how the hue changes from morning sun to evening lamplight before you give final approval.

This upfront step eliminates second-guessing, protects your investment, and keeps the project moving because our team can pre-order the exact gallons for painting services, deck staining and sealing, or even epoxy floor coating. No surprise colors, no wasted material.

Question 3

How can I update old, outdated cabinets to a modern, durable finish?

Accepted Answer

Refresh outdated cabinets by cleaning and sanding every surface, applying a bonding primer, then spraying a furniture-grade enamel or stain and a protective clear coat. The process gives you a smooth, factory finish that stands up to daily wear—without the mess, cost, or downtime of full replacement.

Cabinet refinishing in Athens and across Northeast Georgia starts with thorough prep. BCI Painting removes and labels doors and drawers, degreases with a cabinet-safe cleaner, fills dings, then sands to a uniform profile. Next, our lead-safe certified crew sprays a high-bond acrylic or catalyzed enamel primer that locks onto slick factory finishes. Once cured, we apply two top-coats of furniture-grade polyurethane enamel—or the stain color you choose—using professional HVLP equipment for a flawless, brush-free surface. Finally, a clear protective coat seals the finish so it resists scratches, moisture, and kitchen chemicals for years.

Because we keep the existing boxes, you avoid the demolition, plumbing, and countertop risk that come with full replacement, yet you still get today’s popular paint and stain colors. We protect the workspace and use HEPA filtration to control dust and odors, so you can stay in your home throughout the project. Most kitchens are completed in five to seven days, backed by our two-year workmanship and material warranty.

If you’re ready for modern, durable cabinets without replacing them, call the insured, EPA Lead-Safe painters in Northeast GA. BCI Painting offers free, itemized estimates and clear scheduling, so you’ll know exactly when you can start cooking in your refreshed space.

Question 4

How do you protect floors, landscaping, furniture, and fixtures during the job?

Accepted Answer

BCI Painting safeguards every surface before a brush touches paint. We cover floors with clean drop cloths and Ram Board, wrap furniture and fixtures, mask hardware, and shield landscaping. Daily job-site sweeps and padded ladders prevent scuffs, and our crew leaves pathways clear and safe.

As trusted Northeast Georgia painters, BCI Painting treats your property like our own. Our team walks the site with you and notes delicate areas before any interior or exterior painting starts. We lay thick, non-skid canvas drop cloths down hallways, then top traffic zones and hardwoods with Ram Board or builder’s paper to stop scratches and paint drips. Furniture is slid to the room center and covered. Lights, hardware, and cabinet pulls are masked with gentle tape for easy removal. Whether we’re refreshing a living room or installing an epoxy floor coating, the protection plan is the same: containment first, coating second.

Outside, breathable mesh tarps and mobile plywood screens protect flower beds, shrubs, and patio furniture. We pad ladder feet, keep spray nozzles calibrated, and station a spotter to catch overspray. At the end of each day our crew vacuums, coils cords, and sweeps driveways so you can safely use the space overnight.

Because we are fully insured, EPA Lead-Safe certified, and back every job with a two-year warranty, you can relax knowing every floorboard, fixture, and rose bush will look as good or better than when we arrived.

Question 5

What paint brands/grades do you recommend and why? (coverage, durability, washability)

Accepted Answer

We trust premium lines from Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore for most projects, plus PPG Porter for historic exteriors. Sherwin-Williams Emerald or Duration and Benjamin Moore Regal Select or Aura give rich one-coat coverage, scrub-resistant durability, and easy washability. For aging wood, Porter Perminizer’s flexible acrylic seals and breathes, preventing moisture damage.

We’ve field-tested dozens of coatings. Three manufacturers stand out for consistent results:

1. Sherwin-Williams — For most interior painting and exterior house painting, we specify Emerald or Duration. Both low-VOC acrylics hide in one to two coats, resist cracking, and scrub clean after thousands of wipe cycles. Emerald Rain Refresh and Duration Home also block stains, so scuffs wash off with mild soap, which is ideal for busy kitchens and kids’ rooms.

2. Benjamin Moore — When deep, vibrant color is the goal, we reach for Regal Select or Aura. Their Gennex® colorants let even bold reds and blues cover quickly and stay bright in the Georgia sun. A washable matte finish makes turnover cleanups simple: fingerprints lift without burnishing.

3. PPG Porter — Historic farmhouses and cabins across Oconee and Jackson counties benefit from Porter Perminizer exterior acrylic latex. Its breathable film lets old wood release moisture while a high-solids formula locks out rain and mildew, extending repaint cycles to eight-plus years.

Why Grade Matters

Choosing a “good-better-best” grade tailors performance to the surface and budget. SuperPaint or Ben are solid mid-tier options for low-traffic areas, while Sherwin-Williams Pro Industrial epoxy enamels protect commercial kitchens and machinery from chemicals and abrasion.

Whatever line we recommend, you receive a written two-year workmanship and material warranty. Ready for a free painting estimate? Call us or click here to contact our team today.
