Countertop Installation for Wallis Homeowners
Most countertop installation problems we get called out to in Wallis trace back to preparation rather than product. Templating before cabinets are anchored is how tops end up with gaps at the wall. That is where our time goes on a Austin County job, and it is why the finish is still holding up years later.

Why Wallis homeowners call JM Painting
JM Painting & Remodeling has been doing this work for 20+ years, and the way we run a Wallis job reflects it: the scope goes in writing before we start, the preparation is priced as part of the work instead of skipped to win the bid, and nothing gets added without your approval.
We keep Wallis job sites livable. Materials stay contained to your property, floors and landscaping are protected, and the site gets swept down at the end of each day, which matters more on occupied homes than most contractors act like it does.
