Port Washington Painting
Residential interior painting — walls, ceilings, trim, doors and the prep work that comes before the paint.
What we paint
This is residential interior work — not exterior painting, not commercial painting, and not general remodeling. The job is rooms: walls, ceilings, baseboards, crown molding, window trim, doors and closets when you want them included.
What an estimate should settle
Before work is priced, the conversation should make clear which rooms are included and which surfaces are being painted — walls, ceilings, trim and doors where they apply. It should also cover what repair or preparation is needed, whether people will be living in the house during the job, and anything else that changes how the work has to be planned.
One estimate may include ceilings, doors and wall repairs while another covers only the walls. Those details belong in writing. See comparing painting estimates.
Prep before the paint
Most interiors need ordinary wall prep: covering floors, protecting furniture, filling nail holes, spackling dents, patching damaged drywall, sanding rough spots, caulking gaps where needed and priming repairs. Where plaster is present, cracks or damaged areas may need more than everyday spackling. See interior painting preparation and painting plaster walls.
Questions worth asking
Ask for the rooms and surfaces in writing. Ask what prep is included. Ask how many coats. If the home may have older paint, ask how sanding and scraping will be handled. Verify licensing and insurance through the proper channels. More on how to choose an interior painter.
