A prep-obsessed painting company built for Georgia homes.

Summit & Slate started with a simple frustration: too many paint jobs in Atlanta looked great for a season and then started peeling. The problem was almost never the paint — it was the prep. So we built a company around doing the unglamorous eighty percent right: washing, scraping, sanding, caulking and priming before a single finish coat goes on.

Fourteen years later, we work across the north metro, specializing in the exteriors that Georgia weather punishes hardest — siding, trim, fences, decks and brick. We brought that same prep-first standard indoors for interior repaints and factory-grade cabinet refinishing.

We’re also trying to make estimates honest and easy. That’s why the whole site is built around instant online calculators — so you can price your project yourself, on your own time, before anyone sets foot on your property.
