A paint job with a quality-control inspection built in.
Mike Swearingen handles exterior and interior painting, power washing and re-grouting himself, from the first coat to his own final walkthrough of every job. No crew of strangers, no shortcuts.
Painting, power washing and re-grouting, all under one roof
Exterior Painting
Full exterior repaints with spray and roller application, two coats of quality paint, on homes up to three stories.
Interior Painting
Rooms prepped and masked before a drop of paint goes down, then finished to the same standard as the outside of the house.
Power Washing
Surfaces washed down and prepped ahead of paint, called out by name in reviews for how thorough it is.
Re-Grouting
Old grout removed and re-done alongside the paint job itself. One crew, one visit, not a separate contractor.

One painter, start to finish
Clean Cut Painting is Mike Swearingen, working solo rather than sending a rotating crew of subcontractors. Customers deal with Mike from the first bid through the last day of cleanup, and he performs the work himself to a high standard.
Alongside painting, Mike also handles power washing and re-grouting as part of the same visit, taking on jobs up to three stories with spray and roller application and two coats of quality paint.
When the paint is down, he walks the job himself and runs his own quality-control inspection, catching anything that needs a second look before he calls it finished.
What reviewers say happens on site
Shows up when he says he will
Reviewers consistently mention Mike arriving on time and on the day he committed to, no chasing required.
Masks everything before painting
Trim, fixtures and landscaping get covered before any paint comes out, protecting what isn't being painted.
Sprays and rollers, two coats
Siding gets sprayed and rollered with two coats of quality paint, not a single thin pass.
Runs his own quality-control pass
After the paint is down, Mike walks the job himself and inspects it, catching anything the eye might miss the first time.
Cleans up before he leaves
Grounds and driveways are cleared of masking, drop cloths and debris. Reviewers describe the site as spotless when he's done.
I am getting too old to climb ladders anymore. I hired Mike from Clean Cut Painting and was amazed at the quality. The ground was spotless when he was done.
