Signs It's Time for a New Paint Job
Don't underestimate the power of a fresh coat of paint.
Fading or Discoloration
Paint loses its vibrancy over time, especially in rooms exposed to sunlight.
Nicks, Scuffs, and Marks
Everyday wear and tear that accumulated over years of use, making the walls look worn.
Visible Nail Pops/Tape Lines
Paint amplifies flaws in the underlying drywall. A new coat can hide minor flaws, but major issues need professional drywall repair first.

Why Choose a Professional Painter?
The difference between a DIY paint job and a professional one is immediately noticeable. Professionals provide efficiency, quality, and guaranteed results.
- Meticulous Preparation: A pro spends most of the time preparing—cleaning, patching, sanding, and masking—which is the secret to clean lines and smooth walls.
- Clean Lines & Zero Splatter: Experts use specialized tape and drop cloths to guarantee crisp lines between walls/trim and leave your furniture spotless.
- Proper Coverage: Professionals guarantee even coverage with no streaking or flashing, often completing the job in half the time of a DIY effort.
Interior Painting FAQs
How long after painting should I wait before moving furniture back?
Most modern latex paints are dry to the touch in 1-4 hours. However, it's best to wait 24 hours before moving furniture back and 30 days for the paint to fully cure before washing the walls.
What is the best type of paint finish for high-traffic areas?
Eggshell or satin finishes are recommended for high-traffic areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and hallways. These finishes offer better durability and are easier to clean than flat or matte finishes.
Do I need to be home while the painters are working?
You typically only need to be home at the start for the initial walk-through and color confirmation, and at the end for the final inspection. Trusted professionals can often work efficiently while you are away.
