Our Interior Painting Process

01

Furniture is moved or covered, floors are protected, holes are filled, and surfaces are sanded smooth.

02

Priming

New drywall, stain-prone surfaces, and dramatic color changes are primed for even, true color results.

03

Painting

Walls and ceilings are cut in by brush and rolled for complete, even coverage — typically two coats.

04

Detail & Cleanup

Trim is painted, tape is removed while paint is still slightly wet for clean edges, and all furniture and floor coverings are restored.

Interior Painting FAQ for Boston Homeowners

How often should Boston homeowners get interior painting?
Given Boston's severe winters with average 48 inches of snow, most homeowners benefit from interior painting at least once a year. Ice dam prevention and removal (Dec–Mar) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Boston most need interior painting?
Victorian triple-deckers and Colonial and Cape Cod-style homes are the most common home types in Boston and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
How long does it take to paint a room?
A standard bedroom takes 4–6 hours for two coats including prep. Larger rooms, high ceilings, and extensive trim work take longer. A full home repaint typically takes 3–5 days.
Do you supply the paint?
We can supply paint or use paint you've purchased. We typically charge a materials fee if supplying and recommend specific products based on your surface and finish goals.
What paint finish should I use in each room?
Flat/matte for low-traffic bedrooms and ceilings. Eggshell or satin for living rooms and bedrooms (more washable). Semi-gloss for kitchens, bathrooms, and trim — most durable and washable.
How long does paint need to dry before I can use the room?
Most latex paints are touch-dry in 1–2 hours and fully dry in 24 hours. We recommend waiting 24 hours before light use and 2 weeks before washing painted surfaces.
