Interior Painting Services in Chicago

Because it is what the result depends on. In older Chicago homes with plaster walls, filling, sanding and priming take longer than applying the paint, and skipping it is why a fresh coat can look poor within months.

Usually two, but a strong colour change, a patchy wall or bare plaster can need a primer plus two. We will tell you which before starting rather than adding coats mid-job and adjusting the price.

Sometimes, but it is rarely the right answer. Seams and texture show through, and moisture in the paint can lift the paper. Where the paper is sound and well adhered it can work; otherwise removing it first gives a far better wall.

Where they need it. Ceilings show age more than people notice until the walls are fresh, and painting walls against a tired ceiling tends to highlight it. It is worth deciding at quoting stage rather than partway through.

Furniture moved to the centre and covered, floors protected, and rooms done in sequence so the household keeps functioning. Most interior painting can be run without moving out, and we agree the room order with you beforehand.
