Estimate Sheet Bays
Where measurements become a written estimate with room by room line items and a clear scope. Nothing enters the bay without a floor plan and a coat count.
Prep, roll, cut in, Roy Utah
Atlantis Painting LLC runs a paint drop studio where every estimate, color card and crew note is laid out on cloth before a single wall is touched. Our Roy studio at 2821 W 4225 S, Roy - 84067-9649, United States (US) keeps the tray loaded and the sheets clipped so owners can see the work before it begins.

Request an estimate sheet→Atlantis Painting LLC is a computer systems design and professional services studio that treats every interior paint project the way a systems shop treats a rollout plan. We spread a drop cloth, lay out the estimate sheet, clip the color cards to the board, and write the crew notes in plain language before the roller ever loads. Clients in Roy and the surrounding northern Utah towns sit with us at the tray and watch the plan take shape.
The studio is small on purpose. Each project gets a named crew note desk, a dedicated prep window and a finish review round scheduled before the first wall is cut in. Nothing is left to a verbal handoff, and nothing is hidden behind a separate sales channel. The same people who write the estimate are the people who return for the walkthrough sitting.
The six studio services
Six desks anchor the studio floor. Each one is a stopping point where the project is checked, documented and signed off before the next stage begins. Together they form a route that is easy to follow from the first estimate to the final walkthrough.

A guided pass through the color fan under studio lighting. Sheens and undertones are compared on the wall, never on a screen.
The written record of every decision, kept at a dedicated desk so the rollers, brushes and cut in work follow one set of instructions.
Protected floors, taped trim and patched walls in a scheduled window. The prep window is the difference between a good coat and a great one.
Two review rounds under angled light catch lap marks, thin spots and sheen drift before the client ever steps through the door.
The seated walkthrough where the owner and the crew lead review each room against the crew notes and close the project on the record.
Most painting contractors sell a project in a kitchen and then hand it to a crew that has never seen the room. Atlantis Painting LLC works the other way. The estimate sheet, the color card run and the crew notes are written and revised on the studio floor at our Roy location, and the people who write them are the people who load the roller. That single decision removes most of the surprises that turn a straightforward repaint into a weeks long negotiation.
When a client revisits the color card run two days after the first estimate, the crew notes already carry the lighting conditions in each room, the sheen chosen for the trim and the number of coats budgeted for the ceiling. The estimate sheet bay adjusts the line items without rebuilding the plan from scratch. That continuity is the reason our walkthrough sittings tend to be quiet, short and free of argument.
Roy and the towns around it sit on a mix of stucco, brick and drywall homes built across several decades, plus a growing number of offices and light commercial spaces. Each of those surfaces takes paint and prep work differently. Our prep windows account for the dust that dry patch sanding throws into the air, and our finish review rounds push a raking light across every wall because Utah sunlight is honest about lap marks. Color card runs are adjusted for the strong afternoon light that comes off the mountain foothills, which shifts how a warm white reads next to a cool one.
The result is a studio process tuned to this valley rather than copied from a national franchise playbook. We are a computer systems design and professional services firm by trade, and that background shows in how tightly the studio runs on checklists, versioned notes and measurable review criteria.
An estimate sheet from Atlantis Painting LLC lists every wall, ceiling, door and trim run with a coat count, a surface condition note and a clear inclusion or exclusion. Clients keep the same sheet from the first visit through the final invoice, so there is no gap between what was promised and what was done. We answer questions about the sheet in writing at estimates@atlantispaint.surf, and we revise it at the tray when a scope change is honest and small.
Crew notes are the living memory of a project. They capture which rooms got a shellac primer, which trim was cut in by hand and which corner needed a second sanding pass. The crew note desk is a real desk in the studio, staffed during business hours, where a client can add a preference or correct a lighting assumption before the rollers load. Nothing about the job lives only in a conversation.
Atlantis Painting LLC opens its walkthrough window each week so owners can sit with the crew lead, read the crew notes aloud and confirm the finish before the drop cloth is folded for the last time.
A typical interior project opens with a short intake conversation and a room by room walk at the studio. We record wall sizes, ceiling height, surface conditions and any prior patchwork, then turn that into an estimate sheet inside the estimate sheet bay. The client reviews the sheet, and if they want help choosing a color, we schedule a color card run at the board. Both steps happen before any work is committed, which keeps the scope honest.
Once the scope is signed, the crew note desk writes the working notes and the prep window is booked. Prep covers floor protection with drop cloths, edge taping, patching, sanding and priming where the surface calls for it. The painting follows the crew notes room by room, with the roller and the cut in brush moving in a deliberate order. Two finish review rounds follow, each under raking light, and the final walkthrough sitting closes the project with a signed checklist.
At the walkthrough sitting the owner receives the crew notes, the signed checklist and a short care sheet. Touch up paint is labeled and left in a sealed container with the room and sheen noted on the lid. If something needs a touch up within the agreed review window, we schedule a short return visit rather than a full redeploy. That closing discipline is why most of our work arrives through referrals from neighbors who watched a job run cleanly.
We keep the studio floor open to questions. Whether a client wants to understand how a cut in line was drawn or why a ceiling took three coats, the crew notes and the desk staff can answer in plain language. Transparency at the tray is the point of the whole operation.
