Color help
Free color help with every estimate
Most people don’t need more chips. They need to see the color big, on their own walls, in their own light. Carla brings the boards and stays until you’re sure.

“Carla brought sample boards the size of a poster and taped them up in three rooms. We lived with them for a weekend and picked a green we’d never have chosen from a chip. The lines at the ceiling are perfect.”
-
Kitchen cabinets
“Our oak kitchen cabinets came back from their shop sprayed smooth, like they came from the factory. A week without doors was easier than I expected.”
Daniel K. · Leawood · August 2026
-
Exterior and trim
“1962 house with lead paint on the trim. They tested it, set up the plastic and cleaned up like a lab. All the paperwork came in a folder.”
Joyce T. · Mission · June 2026
-
Whole interior
“A text at 7:40 every morning saying who was coming. Floors covered every day and the furniture went back exactly where it was.”
Ray A. · Overland Park · March 2026
-
Front door and shutters
“We only asked for the front door and shutters. Carla still did a color consult, and the navy looks great against our brick.”
Priya S. · Brookside · May 2026
-
Two bedrooms
“Two bedrooms for a nursery, done in a day with low-odor paint. No smell by bedtime.”
Alicia M. · Olathe · February 2026
-
Three rooms
“The estimate listed every room with its own price, so we did three rooms now and the dining room later. Nobody pushed.”
Chris W. · Shawnee · January 2026
A true line is what painters call a clean, straight edge where the wall meets the ceiling or the trim.
Every August we paint one teacher’s classroom for free. Teachers nominate each other.
About Truline
Owned and run by Carla Novak since 2015
Carla grew up in Strawberry Hill and started painting houses with her uncle’s crew at 17. She spent 14 years with a big Kansas City painting company, first running a crew, then helping customers pick colors as their estimator. In 2015 she started Truline with one van, two ladders and a box of sample boards. She still does every estimate and every color consult herself.
“Picking colors is the hard part for most people. That’s the part I like best.”

Farther out? Call us. We take exteriors and bigger interiors in Lawrence, the Northland and Blue Springs.
Yes. Carla comes to your home (or walks it with you on video), helps with color, and sends a written estimate within 48 hours, with each room priced on its own line.
Yes. Paint, primer, caulk and patching are in every price. The estimate names the paint and sheen for each room, and we can use your favorite brand.
Not for interiors. For exteriors and cabinets we ask 25% to hold your dates and the rest at the final walkthrough.
Interiors usually start 2–3 weeks after you approve the estimate, sooner in winter. Spring exteriors book 4–6 weeks out.
Usually until mid-November, while nights stay above 40°F. After that we put you first in line for spring.
Take down art and clear small things off shelves. We move the furniture, cover it, and put it back where it was.
No. We’re an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm. We test, contain the work area, clean up by the rules and give you the records.
We use low-odor paint inside. Most rooms are fine to sleep in the same night.
Tell us after the first coat and we’ll switch it before the second at no charge for labor.
Yes. Bring a chip, a pillow or a photo and we’ll have it matched. We can use any paint brand.
Yes. We paint sample boards and hold them up against your brick and roof, and we check what your HOA allows.
Call us. Exteriors carry a written 5-year warranty and interiors and cabinets 3 years. Touch-ups are free for the first year.
