Painting

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

Interior Painting FAQ for Durham Homeowners

How often should Durham homeowners get interior painting?
Given Durham's hot, humid summers averaging 88°f with afternoon thunderstorms, most homeowners benefit from interior painting at least once a year. Red clay stain removal from driveways and siding (year-round) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Durham most need interior painting?
Brick ranch homes throughout Durham County and Victorian and craftsman homes in Trinity Park, Watts-Hillandale are the most common home types in Durham 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.

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.
