Good to know before you hire
Prep is most of the job
Good painters fill holes, sand, caulk gaps and prime stains before any color goes on. When comparing estimates, ask what prep is included.
Pick the right sheen
Flat or matte hides wall flaws and suits ceilings and bedrooms. Eggshell or satin wipes clean more easily in living areas and hallways. Semi-gloss is common for trim, doors, kitchens and bathrooms.
Plan around your household
Ask how furniture will be moved and covered, which rooms will be off-limits, and how long to wait before hanging pictures again.
Interior Painting questions
How much does interior painting cost in Charlotte?
It depends on room size, ceiling height, the number of colors, how much prep is needed and whether trim and ceilings are included. The quickest way to a real number is a free on-site estimate. We match you with one local painter who can give you one.
How long does it take to paint a room?
A typical bedroom often takes a day or two, depending on prep, the number of coats and drying time. Larger projects are scheduled over several days. Your painter will give you a timeline with the estimate.
Do I need to move my furniture?
Most painters move furniture to the middle of the room and cover it, but it helps to clear small items, wall art and anything fragile beforehand. Confirm what’s included when you get your estimate.
