Our story
One Cary family, 40 years of homes.
Craig Metcalf started this company in Cary in 1986. Forty years later, it's still a family business — Craig and his wife Merri Lea run it, and their daughter Carmen leads the flooring side. Craig was born in Raleigh and raised in Apex; between them, the family has raised five children and welcomed five grandchildren, all here in Cary.
That kind of roots means something in this work. The crews you meet are our people, doing the same careful job on your home that they'd do on their own. We handle both sides of a refresh — painting and flooring — so there's one team, one schedule and one point of contact from the first quote to the final walk-through.
What clients mention most isn't the paint or the planks — it's the way it's done. Courteous, professional, tidy, dependable. Small details handled without being asked. Payment collected only after you've seen the finished work. It's why so many Triangle families have called us back for the next room, the next house, the next generation.

What clients say
Every star earned on the job.
“Terrific job. Dependable from start to finish. Careful workers who cleaned up afterwards. Cannot say enough good things about them. Excellent.”
“Had my townhome painted totally inside top to bottom and wood floors installed up the staircase and the whole upstairs while I was out of town. Amazing work! Professional, efficient, courteous and trustworthy. Carmen is amazing to work with — a true gem for the company.”
“We recently had the entire exterior of our home painted. The workers were courteous, professional and clearly very skilled painters. They completed the work in a timely manner and we are thrilled with the outcome. I would definitely hire them again and highly recommend them.”
