At Swifthand Painting, we know that premium products are key to delivering exceptional, long-lasting results for your home or business. We carefully choose top-grade paints, stains, and coatings that offer durability, vibrant color, and protection against weather, wear, and fading. These high-quality products not only provide a flawless finish but also ensure long-lasting protection, reducing the need for frequent maintenance or repainting. By using the best materials available, we guarantee work that stands the test of time, offering you peace of mind and incredible value.
At 4,200 feet, UV exposure breaks down binders in cheap exterior paint far faster than the national average. We spec 100% acrylic latex rated for high-UV conditions, which is why a properly prepped exterior here should give you nine to twelve years rather than four.
Exterior work in Utah realistically runs from spring through early autumn, with application temperatures holding between roughly 50°F and 85°F. We schedule exteriors early and book them tightly, so you are not chasing a crew in October.
Stucco, cedar, brick, vinyl and aluminium siding all need different preparation. Homes built before 1978 need lead-safe handling on top of that, and we’re EPA RRP certified and lead-certified through the Utah Division of Air Quality to do it properly. Our crews prep to the substrate in front of them, not to a checklist.
We back our workmanship for nine years because we control the variables that cause paint to fail early: surface prep, product selection and application. If our work fails, we return and correct it.
Interior painting generally runs $2 to $6 per square foot and exterior painting $3 to $7, which puts most whole-house projects in the Salt Lake Valley somewhere between $3,000 and $12,000. Where you land inside that depends mostly on prep: a house with sound siding and one previous coat costs far less than one with peeling paint and failed caulk. We give you an itemised bid that separates labour, materials and prep so you can see exactly what you’re paying for, and compare it fairly against other quotes. Call (801) 386-869.

Yes, and it’s free. Our colour consultation covers samples on your actual walls, how your lighting shifts a colour through the day, and how a shade will read against your roof, brick and landscaping outside. Most people arrive with three options and leave confident about one. Book a free colour consultation or call (801) 386-8697.
Yes. Every residential and commercial project carries a nine-year craftsmanship guarantee. That covers workmanship failures such as peeling, blistering and flaking on surfaces we prepared and painted. For context, most painting companies in this market offer one to three years, and the large franchises typically offer two, so ask every contractor you’re considering to put their warranty term in writing. Call (801) 386-8697 for the full terms.
Most interior projects run 2 to 5 days depending on room count and wall condition. A standard exterior takes 3 to 7 days. Cabinet refinishing is usually 3 to 5 days including cure time between coats. Commercial timelines depend on square footage and whether we’re working around your business hours, which we regularly do including evenings and weekends. You get a firm schedule with your estimate, not a vague window. Call (801) 386-8697 to talk through timing.
