What's included

Every interior job starts with a walkthrough so we agree on exactly what gets painted, what colors go where, and what sheen each surface needs. A typical interior project includes:

  • Walls, ceilings, baseboards, door and window casings, and crown molding
  • Interior doors, stair railings, spindles and built-ins
  • Patching nail holes, dents and small cracks before any paint goes on
  • Caulking gaps where trim meets the wall so lines stay crisp
  • Moving and covering furniture, floors and fixtures, then putting it all back
  • Daily cleanup and a final walkthrough with you before we call it done

Bigger drywall damage like water stains, settling cracks or holes from removed fixtures is handled by our drywall repair work, so the wall is flat and smooth before it is painted.

Our process, step by step

  1. Walkthrough and estimate. We look at every room, talk through colors and sheens, and give you a written estimate with the scope spelled out.
  2. Protect the house. Floors get drop cloths, furniture is moved and covered, and switch plates and outlet covers come off.
  3. Prep the surfaces. We fill, sand, spot-prime and caulk. Glossy trim gets scuffed so new paint bonds instead of peeling.
  4. Cut in and roll. Ceilings first, then walls, then trim and doors. Two finish coats is our standard.
  5. Inspect and touch up. We check each room in good light and fix anything that isn't right.
  6. Clean up and walk through. Furniture goes back, covers go back on, and you sign off only when you're happy.

Prep work is where the job is won

Paint covers color. It does not hide bad prep. Nail pops, rough patches and gaps along the trim all show through a fresh coat, and they show more with satin and semi-gloss. That's why most of our time on an interior job goes into the hours before the first coat: filling, sanding smooth, priming patches so they don't flash through, and caulking every joint that needs it.

Materials

We use professional-grade paint, not the cheapest can on the shelf. Cheap paint takes more coats, scuffs easily and won't stand up to scrubbing. We'll recommend the right product and sheen for each room. Flat or matte usually goes on ceilings, a washable matte or eggshell on walls, and satin or semi-gloss on trim and doors. Kitchens and bathrooms get a finish that handles moisture. If you already have colors picked out, we'll work with them.

Why quality over quantity matters inside your home

We are working in the place you live, sometimes around kids, pets and work-from-home schedules. We take fewer jobs so we can finish each one properly without rushing. The owner is on every job, so the person who walked your house with you is the one checking the work.

Warranty

All interior painting is covered by our 1-year warranty on workmanship. If paint we applied peels, blisters or fails because of how we did the work, we come back and make it right. We're licensed and insured, so you're protected while we're in your home too.

Thinking about more than paint? We also handle remodeling, trim carpentry and micro cement finishes, so one crew can take care of a whole room.

Interior Painting FAQ

How long does it take to paint a room?

A typical bedroom with walls, ceiling and trim takes about one to two days including prep and two coats. Whole-house interiors usually take one to two weeks depending on size, repairs and how many colors are involved. Your estimate will include a timeline.

Do I need to move my furniture?

No. We move and cover furniture ourselves and put it back when we're done. We ask that you put away small breakables, wall art and anything valuable before we start.

Can you paint while we're living in the house?

Yes, most of our interior work is done in occupied homes. We work room by room, keep walkways clear, and clean up at the end of each day.

Do you help pick colors?

We'll give you honest input on color and sheen, and we can paint sample swatches on the wall so you can see them in your own light before you commit.
