Interior Painting FAQ for New Orleans Homeowners

How often should New Orleans homeowners get interior painting?
Given New Orleans's year-round heat and humidity — avg high 91°f in summer with extreme dewpoints, most homeowners benefit from interior painting at least once a year. Year-round termite treatment and monitoring (Formosan threat is severe) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in New Orleans most need interior painting?
Shotgun houses and Creole cottages (architectural signatures of New Orleans) and Double shotguns converted to single-family are the most common home types in New Orleans 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.
