Is it time to paint your interior doors? Are they dirty banged up or yellowed?

First you will need to evaluate the entire project and determine how many doors you will want to paint. If you have fewer than 5 doors you can consider simply brushing and rolling them out. If your project includes more than 5 doors you should consider spraying them using a paint sprayer. Paint the doors using a brush and roller

Step 1: Prepare the door surface. We will typically remove the door and remove all hardware even if we are only using a brush and roller. However you can also tape up the hardware and lay a drop cloth under the door to avoid unwanted drips and spills.

Step 2: Clean the surface carefully. Any unseen grease or grime can tarnish your hard work. For most of our projects we use an ordinary household cleaner and that does the trick, if the job calls for more than that we pick up TSP from the hardware store. Follow this up with a light sanding to smooth out any blemishes.

Step 3: Now you are ready to get painting. You may need to use a primer if the doors have a dark

6 Stars

The entire process from start to finish was professional. They did a great job and left everything clean. Ryan wouldn’t leave until everything was perfect. The entire team was so responsive. I would recommend FCI to anyone. I would give them 6 stars if I could.

Reasonably Priced & Very Detailed

We have a three unit, two story condo building that needed an exterior painting job we awarded to FCI Painting. Their proposal was reasonably priced and very detailed. Richard Foden’s came to estimate the job and took the time to explain the process, answer questions and provide recommendations (that help us in our process). We received four proposals and FCI’s stood out making our decision straight forward. FCI crew was professional and the foreman ‘Eduardo’ exceptional. On a daily basis’s he communicated what to expect, what they would be achieving and the crews next steps. Crew was courteous and cleaned up the grounds every evening. We highly recommend FCI Painting company. Thanks

Incredible Service

I honestly cannot recommend this company enough. I was attempting to find painters in Naples while I was still in Canada. Richard and his team were so helpful in the process, going above and beyond what I could have ever imagined. They were thorough, professional, and one of the best prices I found in the area. Incredible service.

Can’t Recommend FCI Painting enough

I can’t recommend FCI Painting enough! Owner Richard Foden runs one of the finest painting companies I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. When my business moved into our new office, we started researching painters in Naples, FL and FCI came highly recommended. The commercial painters that Richard works with are prompt, thorough and professional. After working with them in a business setting, I’ll be certain to give Richard a call next time I’m in need of house painters as well.

Competitive & Fair

FCI Painting did an outstanding job for us and we are more than pleased with the results. We found the pricing to be competitive and fair. Our painter, Chris, was an expert craftsman, patched several areas of drywall that needed attention and helped us work through a problem we had with one of the colors we chose. We would definitely recommend FCI painting for anyone looking for a quality job at a fair price.
