What to Expect

What to expect when working with Stroke of Genius.

A premium finish starts before the first coat. Here is how we scope, price, schedule, and deliver projects so expectations are clear from the beginning.

Timeline

From first message to final walkthrough.

1. Project Inquiry

You send the basic scope, address, photos, timeline, and the type of finish you want.

2. Scope Review

We review conditions, access, substrate issues, finish expectations, and whether an on-site visit is needed.

3. Estimate + Finish Plan

You receive a clear estimate with scope assumptions, prep level, application method, and project sequence.

4. Scheduling + Prep

Once approved, we align start dates, protection requirements, materials, crew plan, and communication rhythm.

5. Production + Quality Control

The project is managed through prep, application, checkpoints, punch items, and closeout.

Pricing Philosophy

We price the finish system, not just square footage.

A good estimate protects both sides: your expectations and our ability to execute the right prep, material, crew plan, and finish standard.

We price around scope clarity, substrate condition, finish expectations, access, and production complexity.

The cheapest bid usually removes time from prep, protection, coating system, or quality control. We do not build estimates that way.

Our goal is to define the right finish system first, then price the labor, materials, supervision, and schedule needed to execute it correctly.
