Interior Painting
Anyone can roll a wall. The difference between a paint job that looks sharp for a decade and one that shows every flaw by the second week is prep — patching, caulking, priming stains, and cutting a straight line by hand where the wall meets the ceiling.

What interior painting includes
- Furniture moved and covered, floors protected, and HVAC returns masked against dust
- Nail-hole filling, crack repair, and skim-coating over damaged or peeling drywall
- Caulking of trim, baseboard and casing gaps before any paint touches them
- Stain-blocking primer on water marks, smoke, nicotine and tannin bleed
- Spot or full priming over drastic color changes and fresh patch compound
- Two finish coats on walls, cut in by hand at ceilings, corners and trim
- Ceilings, trim, doors, closets and cabinet refinishing as scoped
- Daily cleanup, a walk-through under working light, and labeled leftover paint
Sequencing note: paint before flooring
Where both are in scope, paint goes first. Cutting baseboard, rolling ceilings and spraying trim with a brand-new floor in the room means either taping the entire floor or risking it, and neither is a good trade. The exception is carpet, where we prefer to paint, install, then return for shoe molding touch-up.

FAQs about this service
What sheen should go where?
Flat or matte on ceilings, because it hides drywall imperfections under overhead light. Eggshell or satin on most walls — washable without highlighting every roller mark. Semi-gloss on trim, doors and bathrooms where you need moisture resistance and a hard, wipeable surface. We'll deviate from that when a wall is badly patched, and we'll tell you why.
Do you paint kitchen cabinets?
Yes, and it's a different job from wall painting. Doors come off and get sprayed off site or in a controlled area, boxes are degreased, deglossed and primed with a bonding primer, and the finish is a cabinet-rated enamel. Brushing latex over factory finish is what produces the sticky, chipping cabinets people regret — we don't do it that way.
How do you handle homes built before 1978?
We follow EPA Lead-Safe Renovation practices on pre-1978 homes: containment, HEPA vacuuming, and no dry sanding of suspect surfaces. A lot of the housing stock in Greensboro and Winston-Salem falls in that window, so it comes up regularly and it's built into how we prep.
