Our Interior Painting Process

01

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 New York City Homeowners

How often should New York City homeowners get interior painting?
Given New York City's harsh winters with freeze-thaw cycles damaging masonry, most homeowners benefit from interior painting at least once a year. Winter ice dam formation on flat roofs often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in New York City most need interior painting?
Brownstones and townhouses and Pre-war apartment buildings are the most common home types in New York City 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.
