What Involves Interior Painting?

At its foundation, interior painting describes the process of coating interior surfaces with paint and sealers to the indoor spaces of website a residential property. This covers everything from accent walls to built-in cabinetry. Each surface type demands a different preparation method to get the best coverage and longevity.

Mechanically, the process begins with getting surfaces ready. This involves cleaning walls of dust and grease, repairing any damage to the drywall or plaster, and preparing a flat, even base for better paint adhesion. Once surfaces are ready, a primer coat is applied to lock in any stains or old colors. Afterward, the selected color coats are brushed and rolled on with care.

Choosing the right finish matters enormously. Low-sheen options are suited to areas that don't see heavy use, while semi-gloss and satin options hold up better in spaces where walls get touched and splashed. Brother & Brother Builders helps clients through every product decision so that the finished space meets your expectations for years ahead.
