How It Works
Measure & Plan
We visit your space, measure the room, discuss colors and tile sizes, and provide a detailed flat-rate quote. You approve the design before we start.
Prep, Tape & Paint
We sand, prime, and prepare the surface. Then we measure and tape a precise grid, paint the base color, and apply the contrasting squares by hand.
Seal & Protect
After the paint dries, we apply 2-3 coats of high-durability polyurethane topcoat to protect against scuffs, scratches, and daily wear. Ready to walk on in 48 hours.

Checkerboard Floor Painting FAQ
We paint checkerboard patterns on hardwood, plywood subfloors, concrete, and previously painted floors. The surface must be smooth and in reasonable condition. We handle all prep work.
Pricing depends on the room size, floor condition, and tile size. We provide a flat-rate quote based on square footage — no hourly billing. The quote includes all prep, primer, paint, and topcoat.
Absolutely. While classic black and white is most popular, we can create checkerboard patterns in any two-color combination — navy and cream, forest green and white, charcoal and gold, or any custom palette.
With proper preparation and a high-quality polyurethane topcoat, a painted checkerboard floor can last 5-10 years in normal residential use. High-traffic areas may need a topcoat refresh sooner.
A typical room takes 2-3 days: Day 1 for prep and primer, Day 2 for taping and painting, and Day 3 for the protective topcoat. You'll need to stay off the floor for 24-48 hours after the topcoat is applied.
