Do you repair drywall damage before painting?

Always. Proper painting requires a perfect surface. We patch all holes, fix nail pops, repair water damage, and sand the walls smooth before a single drop of paint is applied.

What kind of paint do you use?

We typically use premium lines from Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore, as they provide superior coverage, washability, and longevity. We can also match any color you choose from any manufacturer.

What drywall finish level do you provide?

We deliver Level 4 as our standard for painted walls and Level 5 — a full skim coat — for areas with critical lighting or where gloss finishes will be applied. We'll recommend the right level for your specific space and paint sheen.

Can you remove popcorn ceilings and make them smooth?

Yes. Popcorn ceiling removal and skim-coating is one of our most requested services. We test for asbestos in homes built before 1980, handle safe removal, and leave you with a clean, smooth surface ready to paint.

How long does a typical interior painting project take?

A single-room paint job usually takes one to two days. A full interior — all rooms, ceilings, and trim — typically runs three to seven days depending on the size of the home and the prep work required.
