Interior House Painting

What an Interior Job Includes

Most Las Vegas interiors were painted exactly once — by the builder, with the cheapest flat paint that would pass a walkthrough — and they've been collecting scuffs, nail holes, furniture rubs, and sun-faded patches ever since. Repainting over that without prep just preserves the damage in a new color. So every interior job we run starts the same way, whatever the size:

• Repair before paint. Nail holes, drywall dings, corner-bead damage, and settling cracks get patched and sanded flush. Texture is matched where it matters, so the repair disappears instead of announcing itself.
• Protection that's actually thorough. Floors covered, furniture moved and wrapped, fixtures and hardware masked. You shouldn't need to find paint specks in June to remember we were there in March.
• Walls, ceilings, trim, and doors handled as parts of one job — including the closets and the laundry room most bids quietly skip.
• Finishes matched to how rooms get used. Washable finishes in hallways, kids' rooms, and kitchens; flatter sheens where the light rakes across big walls and would expose every roller mark.

The Two-Coat Rule

Here's a spec we don't bend: every color change gets two full coats of Sherwin-Williams paint. One coat over an old beige or a dark accent wall leaves the previous color reading through — you'll see it in afternoon light for years. Two coats is what full, true coverage costs in labor and material, so that's what we quote from the start. If a bid you're comparing is dramatically cheaper, ask how many coats it includes. Now you know the question.

Living There While We Work

Almost all our interior clients stay in the house. We work room by room so the household keeps functioning, keep work zones sealed off from living zones, use low-VOC paint, and leave rooms back in service the same day they're finished. A full interior typically runs a few days to a week depending on size and how much color is changing — you get the real schedule with the quote.

If the outside is due too, most of the valley's houses come out ahead doing it as one project — see our exterior painting page, or just tell us about the whole house.
