M & M Painting NW LLC.

The trade is narrow. The state registers the business under painting and wallcovering, and that's the whole of the work. There's no framing or remodeling on the side. Jobs are residential, covering interior repainting, exterior repainting and wallpaper installation. The state puts the crew at one to three people, and the shop gets work through referrals and repeat customers rather than advertising. The state lists Mike Gilbert as a principal since 2018, the year the current LLC was formed. That makes it a fit for homeowners around Spokane Valley and the nearby towns who want painting or wallcovering done by the people who own the business. Older homes with trim to cut in carefully, or a room that needs paper hung straight, are the kind of work a small specialist crew handles well. Large commercial or industrial painting is outside what this shop does, and so is any job that needs carpentry or structural work before the paint goes on. A quick job and a whole-house job call for different hiring. Repainting a bedroom or patching and touching up a hallway is mostly about clean prep and careful cutting-in, and a small crew can often fit it in between larger work. An exterior repaint or a multi-room interior with wallcovering takes longer, and the weather starts to matter. In the Spokane area, exterior work has to fit the warm, dry months. For a larger project, ask how the surfaces will be prepped, how many coats are planned, and whether rooms will be done in sequence so the house stays livable.
