Interior Painting
Wall, ceiling and trim painting with careful surface prep and clean lines.
Overview
Interior painting refreshes the surfaces you live with every day. The result depends less on the paint and more on the preparation: filling imperfections, sanding, caulking gaps and priming bare or patched areas before the first coat.
A careful interior job keeps dust contained, protects floors and furniture, and leaves trim lines crisp. The finish should look consistent from wall to wall and room to room, with no roller marks or lap lines.

Before you schedule
Things worth thinking about
General considerations for this kind of project — confirm the specifics with your estimator.
- Sheen affects both look and washability — matte hides flaws, satin and semi-gloss clean easier
- Paint the trim and doors in the same project for a consistent finish
- Patch and repair drywall before painting so flaws don't telegraph through
- Ventilation and dry time matter in occupied homes

What to confirm up front
