Professional Interior Painting Services in Philadelphia & The Main Line

In order to prepare for interior house painting, please remove everything from the walls and move any smaller valuables to the center of the room. Our interior house painters can move the heavier furniture to the center of the room, and remove curtain rods, towel rods, outlet covers, etc. All valuables will be covered and protected.

How long painting a room takes depends on the prep work needed, colors, sheens, etc., but bedrooms usually take 5-7 hours to apply 2 coats, bathrooms usually 3-4 hours, and bigger rooms 10-12 hours.

The short answer is we will tell you how many days it will take to paint your house at the estimate. Because there are so many variables to a paint job, and every house is different, it is tough to give a general answer of how long it will take. During our estimate, we will calculate how much prep work like scraping, sanding, caulking, filling, and masking there is, how many stories your house is, how many colors there are, and how big of a crew we’ll need. With this information, we will be able to tell you how many labor hours and gallons it will take for our interior house painters to paint your house.

How long an interior paint job lasts depends on how much traffic your walls, baseboards, doors, and trim get. If you have young kids, dogs, and run the vacuum cleaner into the baseboards, it may shorten the life of your interior paint job. However, generally speaking, one of our interior paint jobs typically lasts at least 10 years.

The different kinds of paint finishes/sheens from lowest sheen to highest are: Flat, Matte, Velvet, Eggshell, Satin, Semi- Gloss, Gloss, High Gloss.

For the interior walls of your house, we recommend painting at least every 10 years depending on the amount of traffic you get. If you decide to rent out or sell your house, we suggest having it painted before doing so. It will increase the likelihood that the house sells or rents, and will increase the overall value.

If you’re looking for the best type of paint for bathrooms, there are a few things to consider. First, you’ll want to make sure that your paint has a mildew-resistant additive. Second, you’ll want to ensure you’re using paint type with a satin, semi-gloss, or glossy finish.

For kitchens, a semi-gloss or satin finish are the best options. Both are easy to clean and great at standing up to mildew, stains and dirt.

If you want your cabinets to be durable and easy to clean, you should consider a high-gloss paint. If you are looking for something a little more subtle, you should consider a semi-gloss paint.

 While the best paint for a bedroom can be anything you want it to be, most people choose satin or eggshell sheen latex paints because they are more forgiving than flat or matte paints. Since bedrooms are low-impact areas and tend to be very forgiving spaces in terms of impact, you can use any paint you wish.

Flat acrylic paints are the best choice for ceilings because they don’t draw attention away from other parts of your space. They are also durable and does not fade or flake over time.

Eggshell is the perfect sheen for interior walls. It’s timeless and can be used in almost any room of your house, except for bathrooms.

In most cases, the best paint for baseboards is a semi-gloss paint. This type of paint is also commonly used for molding, cabinets, and doors.

The best paint finish for trim and baseboards is gloss or semi-gloss. Satin paint finishes are great for walls, but not for woodwork and trim. Semi-gloss offers more scrubbing, wiping, and deep cleanings than satin paint finishes.

Yes, with the proper prep work and primer, you can put latex paint over oil based paint. In order to paint latex over oil, the oil based paint needs to be sanded down and then primed over with an oil based primer. Once the primer dries, you can then safely apply a latex paint on top of the primer.

Oil based paints have been around for a long time, and we can respect that. But advances in paint tech and the invention of hybrids have made water based paints the more popular choice these days. Simply put, water based paints have many positive features: no sanding required between coats, dries faster, doesn’t smell as bad, can be “blended” if an area has drips or cake runs, and is easy to clean up if spilled or over-sprayed.
