Paint Products & Finishes
The paint you choose matters as much as the person applying it. We work primarily with Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore, both offer excellent residential interior lines that stand up to washing, kids, pets, and everyday wear. During your estimate we’ll recommend the right sheen for each surface: flat or matte for ceilings, eggshell or satin for most walls, and semi-gloss or gloss for trim and doors. If you already have a paint brand or color palette in mind, we’ll work with it.
Interior Painting FAQs
How long does interior painting take?
Most single-room projects wrap up in one to two days. A whole-home interior repaint typically runs three to seven working days, depending on square footage, prep needs, and how many surfaces are involved. Your written proposal includes a specific timeline for your project.
Do I need to move my furniture?
We ask that you remove small, fragile, or valuable items, electronics, art, personal items. We handle moving larger furniture into the center of the room and covering it. If you’d prefer we don’t move certain pieces, let us know during the estimate.
What paint brands do you use?
We work primarily with Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore. Both offer excellent residential interior products across every sheen. If you have a brand preference or a specific product in mind, we’re happy to accommodate.
Do you help pick colors?
We can offer input based on what we’ve seen work in similar homes, but color selection is a personal choice. For homeowners who want deeper help, we can recommend a local color consultant to work alongside us.
Will there be a smell?
Modern low-VOC and zero-VOC interior paints have dramatically reduced odor compared to older products. You’ll notice some paint smell during application and for a short time after, but most homeowners are comfortable in the space by the following day.
Do you paint kitchen cabinets?
Yes, we paint kitchen and bathroom cabinets on request. Cabinet painting is a separate scope from wall painting because it requires more prep, spraying, and dry time, we’re happy to include it in your quote if you’re interested.
