Interior Painting

The kind of work where you can't see the cut line from the floor. Our published range is $1,500-$15,000 per project, and the walk-through and written estimate are free.

FAQs
Common questions.
If your question isn’t answered here, call or text Glenn at (774) 623-9476.
What paint do you use?
Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore. Usually Emerald or Aura. We do not save money on the can.
Do you spray cabinets?
For cabinet doors, yes, sprayed in a controlled area for an even finish. Boxes are brushed-and-rolled in place. The two methods together yield the cleanest result.
How long does a whole-house paint take?
A 2,000 sqft house with all walls, ceilings, and trim runs 7-12 days. Single rooms are 1-3 days.
What does it cost?
A single bedroom is $1,500-$2,500. A whole-house interior is $7K-$15K depending on trim work and ceiling condition.
Planning guide
Before you call about interior painting.
Drips, lines, and coverage that hold up, not the usual painter half-job. Settling the four questions below before the walk-through makes the interior painting estimate faster and closer to what you actually want, because Glenn can price the job you have decided on instead of a guess at it.
What should you decide before the color consult?
Decide which rooms actually need paint versus which just need touch-ups, since a whole-house job and a single-room refresh call for different scheduling and prep. Live with sample colors on your own walls under your own lighting before committing, since paint chips and screens rarely match how a color reads in a real room. Think about sheen as much as color, since trim, ceilings, and walls often use different finishes for a reason. If cabinets or trim are part of the job, decide early whether you want a sprayed factory-smooth look or a brushed look, since that changes both the process and the setup required.
What should you ask about prep and coats?
Ask what prep work is included before paint goes on, filling nail holes, caulking gaps, sanding glossy trim, priming stains, since prep is most of what separates a job that lasts from one that does not. Ask how many coats are planned and whether the second coat waits for proper dry time, since a rushed single coat shows through in certain light. Ask what paint brand and line will be used, since not all paints cover or wear the same way. If cabinets are being painted, ask how doors are prepped and finished versus the boxes, since the two are typically handled differently for the cleanest result.
How should you prepare the house before painters arrive?
Clear personal items, wall art, and anything fragile out of the rooms being painted, and let the crew know which furniture can be moved and which cannot. Plan where pets will stay during the day, since doors and windows may be open for ventilation and drop cloths will cover normal walking paths. Decide in advance whether you want to be home during color changes so you can see the walls in daylight before the crew leaves for the day. If closets or built-ins are included, empty them ahead of time so prep and painting are not held up waiting on you.
What should you check at the final walk-through?
Walk every painted room under a few different light sources, daylight, lamp, overhead, since a line or drip that is invisible in one light can be obvious in another. Check cut lines where wall meets trim and ceiling, since a straight, sharp line is one of the clearest signs of careful work. Open and close any painted doors and drawers to confirm they were not painted shut or left tacky. Ask what the written workmanship warranty covers and note it somewhere you will find it later, and flag anything you want touched up before considering the room finished.
What actually drives the scope of an interior painting project?
Scope in interior painting comes down to surface condition more than square footage. Walls that are already smooth and lightly worn paint faster than walls with cracked plaster, water stains, or years of buildup that need repair before primer goes on. Trim and doors add time disproportionate to their size, since crisp lines and multiple coats on many small surfaces take longer than rolling open wall space. Ceiling condition matters too, a flat ceiling in good shape is quick, while one with old texture or stains needs extra prep. Telling the crew about any known stains, past leaks, or patched areas up front lets the estimate reflect the real condition of the walls, not just their size.
How does an interior paint job interact with the rest of the house?
Painting one room rarely stays fully contained to that room, since doors, hallways, and shared trim often connect to spaces you are not painting. Matching or transitioning colors at doorways and corners takes planning so the line between old and new paint looks intentional. HVAC vents and returns in the room being painted can carry dust and fumes to other parts of the house if not covered or managed during the work. If cabinets or built-ins are being sprayed, nearby rooms may need protection from overspray even with a controlled area set up. Thinking through these connection points before the crew starts avoids surprises in rooms you thought were untouched.
How can you tell a rushed paint job from a quality one?
A rushed paint job shows in thin coverage you can see brush or roller marks through, in nail holes that were never filled, and in caulk lines around trim that were skipped entirely. Quality work is obvious in the prep that came before the paint, sanded glossy surfaces, primed stains so they do not bleed through, and caulked gaps that make trim look built in rather than applied. Check corners and edges closely, since a careful painter tapes or cuts a straight line without bleed, while a rushed one leaves a ragged edge. Doors and drawers that open freely after painting, rather than sticking from paint buildup, are another simple sign the job was done with care.
What should you ask any contractor before hiring for interior painting?
Ask what prep is included in the price, filling, caulking, sanding, priming, versus treated as an extra charge if the walls need more than expected. Ask how many coats are standard and whether that changes with darker or richer colors that may need extra coverage. Ask what paint line they use and whether you have a say in the brand, since not every painter defaults to the same quality. Ask how furniture and floors get protected during the job, and how daily cleanup is handled so the house stays livable. Ask for the written workmanship warranty in writing before work begins, not just as a verbal promise.
Choosing a contractor
DIY vs handyman vs CW Services.
For a interior painting project, here’s the honest tradeoff. Some scopes really are best handled by a handyman. Some truly should be DIY.
