About us

Built on integrity. Owned by a craftsman.

True North Craftsmen was founded by Taylor Ly on the belief that a residential painting company should run the way a good neighbor runs a home. Show up. Respect the space. Do the work right the first time. Clean up before you leave.

Taylor walks every estimate in person. He brings samples, asks about the room, listens. The crews he leads are trained to the same standard, and the materials we use are the best Sherwin-Williams makes. That is not marketing. That is the only way we know to do this work.

Painting with a Purpose is the short version of a longer story. The long version is on the about page, and we hope you read it.

The name

Why "True North"?

A compass points to true north regardless of weather, terrain, or season. We named the company after that idea. Show up the same way every time. Do the work the same way every time. Stand behind it the same way every time.

The compass is the standard. The craft follows.

Frequently asked

Common questions, plain answers.

What does True North charge for interior painting?

Most interior painting projects fall in a range that depends on square footage, ceiling height, prep work, and the products you select. A single room runs different money than a full main-floor repaint with trim and ceilings. We do not quote a number without seeing the room.

Estimates are written and itemized. The estimate matches the invoice. Taylor walks every job in person, brings samples, and gets you the written quote the same business day.

Do you provide free estimates?

Yes. Estimates are free, owner-walked, and never high-pressure. Taylor brings color samples, asks about the room, and writes the plan down in front of you. You hear back the same business day, every time.

Are you insured?

Yes. True North Craftsmen carries general liability insurance and workers compensation for every member of the crew. Certificates of insurance are available on request before the job starts.

What paint do you use?

We are a Sherwin-Williams Preferred Vendor. Interiors get Duration Home, Emerald, or ProClassic. Trim gets Emerald Urethane. Exteriors get Emerald Exterior, Resilience, or SuperPaint. Cabinets get ProClassic Cabinet Finish.

The product is always matched to the surface and to how your family actually lives in the room. We do not save money on materials. That is where the work earns its longevity.

How long does a typical interior repaint take?

A single room is usually one to two days. A full main floor is three to five days. A full-house interior repaint with trim and ceilings is one to two weeks, depending on size and prep. Exterior work is weather-dependent in spring and fall.

You get a written schedule before we start. We hold to it. If something pushes, we tell you the same day, in writing.

What service areas do you cover?

Our primary footprint is Hamilton County, Indiana: Noblesville, Carmel, Fishers, Zionsville, and Westfield. We also travel west into Boone County, south into Marion, and north into Tipton and Howard. If you are nearby we will come see your project.
