What You Get Beyond Paint

Your walls will look flawless, but that’s just the start. You get rooms that feel completely refreshed without the hassle of figuring out paint types, dealing with uneven coverage, or spending your weekends covered in primer.

The real difference shows up months later when your paint still looks fresh while your neighbor’s DIY job is already showing wear. Professional surface preparation and quality materials mean you’re not repainting in two years.

You also get your time back. No more weekends lost to painting projects that drag on forever. No more furniture shoved into corners or drop cloths that don’t actually protect anything.

Interior Painting Process

How We Handle Your Project

First, we walk through your space and discuss exactly what you want. We measure everything, note any wall repairs needed, and give you a clear timeline and fixed price.

Before any paint touches your walls, we properly protect your furniture and floors, then prep surfaces the right way. This means filling holes, sanding rough spots, and priming where needed. Most painting problems come from skipping this step.

Then we apply your paint using techniques that eliminate streaks, roller marks, and uneven coverage. We clean up completely each day and do a final walkthrough with you to make sure everything meets your expectations.

What's Included in Every Project

Every interior painting project includes complete furniture protection, thorough surface preparation, and professional cleanup. We handle wall repairs, use premium paints that resist fading and wear, and provide color consultation if you need help choosing shades.

You get detailed prep work that most contractors skip – proper hole filling, surface sanding, and strategic priming. This is why our paint jobs last longer and look better than quick-and-cheap alternatives.

We also work around your schedule as much as possible. If you need certain rooms finished first or want us to work around kids’ nap times, we plan accordingly.

Most standard bedrooms or living rooms take 1-2 days including prep work, painting, and cleanup. Larger spaces like open-concept areas might take 2-3 days. The timeline depends on how much prep work is needed, the number of colors, and whether we’re painting ceilings and trim too. We give you an exact timeline during our initial consultation so you can plan accordingly. We don’t rush through projects just to finish faster – proper drying time between coats is essential for a lasting finish.
For most interior walls, we recommend high-quality latex paints in eggshell or satin finishes. These provide good durability while being easy to clean. For high-traffic areas like hallways and kids’ rooms, satin finish holds up better to cleaning and minor scuffs. Flat paint works well for ceilings and low-traffic areas, but shows marks more easily. We use premium brands that resist fading and provide better coverage, which means fewer coats and longer-lasting results. The specific paint choice depends on your room’s use, lighting, and your maintenance preferences.
We handle moving most furniture as part of our service. For smaller items like lamps, decorations, and personal belongings, we ask that you remove those beforehand. We’ll move larger furniture like beds, dressers, and sofas to the center of the room and cover everything with protective plastic. For extremely heavy items like pianos or large entertainment centers, we work around them rather than risk damage. We also put down floor protection throughout the work area and clean up completely each day.
Interior painting costs vary based on room size, ceiling height, amount of prep work needed, and paint quality. Most standard bedrooms range from $400-800, while larger living areas typically run $600-1200. Rooms needing significant wall repairs or multiple colors cost more. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs – no surprises or hidden fees. The estimate includes all prep work, materials, labor, and cleanup. Higher-quality paint costs more upfront but lasts longer, making it more economical over time.
Proper prep work is where most painting projects succeed or fail. We fill all nail holes and cracks, sand rough surfaces smooth, and clean walls to remove dirt and grease. Any damaged drywall gets repaired properly. We remove outlet covers and light switch plates, then mask off trim, floors, and fixtures. Areas with stains or previous dark colors get primed to ensure even coverage. This prep work takes time but it’s why our paint jobs look professional and last years longer than rushed jobs.
Yes, we are fully licensed and insured to perform painting and construction work in Illinois. We carry both general liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage, which protects you and your property during the project. Our insurance covers any accidental damage to your home or belongings, though our careful work practices make incidents extremely rare. We’re happy to provide proof of insurance before starting any work. This coverage is part of what separates professional contractors from unlicensed painters who put homeowners at risk.
