Thinking of painting your place?

You email me photos.  I photoshop them.  I send them back to you.

All conveniently handled through email.  No onsite visits, no phone calls.

1. Send me an email (to adam@previewpaints.com).  Attach photos of any rooms that you are considering repainting  (interior or exterior, residential or commercial).  Please note I'll be working from your photos, so better photos from you will get you back better final images from Preview Paints.

2. Tell me what colors you want, and where they should go.  I'll need the Pantone Color name (or any other standardized color set), to make sure I am using the exact color you want.  Please choose colors from a color fan, not from the internet, because your computer monitor may not be showing you the colors accurately.

3. I'll send you an invoice for you to consider.

4. You pay the invoice via e-transfer (to adam@previewpaints.com).  I'm not set up to accept other forms of payment yet, but it's coming.

5. I'll start on your job as soon as I receive payment.

6. You will receive an email with your Preview Paints processed images within 5 business days (or sooner, depending on workload)

7. Repeat as needed for any same-image alterations, or with any new images.

Any Preview Paints work not completed and emailed back to the Customer within the paid Tier timeframe will be refunded as follows:

• Tiers 1 and 2 will be refunded at 50% of the paid, pre-tax, invoiced price.  So, a Tier 1 job of a single image ($20) will be refunded $10.

• Tier 3 will be refunded at 100% of the paid, pre-tax, invoiced price.  So, a Tier 3 job of a single image ($50) will be refunded $50.

• All Jobs accepted by Preview Paints will be completed, unless cancelled by The Client.  Any Job cancelled by The Client before PPV has emailed it to you, will be refunded according to the schedules listed above.

1.   Aren't there already free, online tools to do this?

Yes, but good luck with them.   They give misleadingly bad results, and are frustrating to use.  With us, you just send us your photos, tell us what colors go where, and we do the work for you.  All of our work is done by hand with careful procedures we've developed in-house, and priced cheaply enough for you to be able to try out lots of colors.

2.   Maybe I just want white.  Is your service needed for this?

White is a great choice for maximizing the amount of light in your area.  But do you want Star White, Snow White, Brilliant White, or maybe White Asparagus (btw, these are all actual Pantone colors), maybe try out Lily White?  We can show you how the difference will look on your walls.

As with any color choice, it can provide a great deal of comfort actually seeing what it will look like, BEFORE you go through with it.  And if we are already doing up a white setup for you, it's pretty cheap and fast to show you how a little color can dramatically (or subtly) change up your look.  We're happy to help with that, too.

3.   I've done fine so far without your service, do I need this?

We've been where you are now: holding up little squares from a palette fan onto a big expanse of wall.  Buying ridiculously expensive tiny little paint pots to paint blocks or stripes of candidate colors onto a wall.  You are trying to imagine what either of these things will look like across one or more walls.  It was really frustrating for us the times when we've gone through this.  And what if you have very different ideas for color schemes?  Now you have to try to paint over those paint pot stripes enough so they are gone.  All while still trying to imagine what the finished product will look like...

Our service can actually show you what your colors will look like.  No more guessing or imagining.

Colors may vary from what you see on your computer screen versus on your wall.  Variability in lighting conditions, time of day, season, air quality, material texture, environmental reflected lighting, output computer monitor calibration, and many other circumstances can create disparities outside Preview Paints' control between the Preview Paints image and the final, painted look.  Many of these variables can also change how it looks on a color fan versus how it looks on your wall.
