Interior painting done right, from prep to final coat
A good interior paint job is mostly preparation. Before we open a can, we protect floors and furniture, fill holes and cracks, sand and prime where needed. That is what makes the final coat look even and last for years.
We help you choose the right sheen for each space — matte for living rooms and bedrooms, satin for hallways and kids' rooms, and semi-gloss or gloss for trim, doors, kitchens and bathrooms — so every room looks good and is easy to clean.
What our interior painting includes
- Walls and ceilings in single rooms or whole homes
- Trim, baseboards, doors, window casings and stair railings
- Wallpaper removal and wall preparation
- Plaster and drywall repair before painting (see plaster & drywall repair)
- Accent walls and full color changes
- Apartments and multifamily units between tenants
- Kitchen cabinet painting
