Most interior house painting projects in Fort Dearborn take 3-5 days, depending on the size of your home and how many rooms you’re having painted. A single room usually takes 1-2 days, while whole-house interior projects can take up to a week. The timeline depends on factors like how much prep work your walls need, the number of coats required, and drying time between coats. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront so you can plan accordingly, and we stick to our schedule.
Quality paint contains more pigment and better binders, which means better coverage, more vibrant colors, and longer-lasting results. Cheap paint often requires more coats to get even coverage, fades faster, and may start peeling or chalking within a few years. In Fort Dearborn’s climate, this difference is especially important for exterior painting – quality paint protects your siding from moisture and temperature changes. While premium paint costs more upfront, you’ll save money long-term because you won’t need to repaint as often.
You don’t need to move everything, but clearing the room makes the job faster and protects your belongings. We can work around furniture that’s too heavy or difficult to move – we’ll cover everything with plastic sheeting and move smaller pieces to the center of the room. For the best results and to protect your furniture from paint splatter, we recommend moving what you can to another room. We’ll let you know exactly what needs to be moved when we give you the estimate.
Start by considering the lighting in each room and how you use the space. North-facing rooms tend to look cooler, so warmer paint colors work well. South-facing rooms get more natural light and can handle cooler tones. For exteriors in Fort Dearborn, consider your home’s architectural style and neighborhood character. We can provide color consultation to help you choose shades that complement your home’s features and your personal style. Many paint manufacturers also offer small sample sizes so you can test colors on your walls before committing.
Proper surface prep is crucial for paint adhesion and longevity. For interior walls, this typically includes filling nail holes and cracks, light sanding of glossy surfaces, and cleaning walls to remove dirt and grease. For exterior surfaces, prep work often involves power washing, scraping loose paint, sanding rough areas, caulking gaps around trim, and priming bare wood or metal. The amount of prep work needed depends on your home’s condition, but we never skip this step – it’s what separates a professional paint job from a DIY disaster.
Interior painting typically costs $3-6 per square foot, while exterior painting ranges from $2-5 per square foot, depending on your home’s condition, the quality of paint you choose, and how much prep work is needed. A typical Fort Dearborn home interior might cost $3,000-8,000, while exterior painting often ranges from $5,000-12,000. These are rough estimates – every project is different. We provide detailed, written estimates that break down labor, materials, and prep work so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
