Interior painting
Interior painting, from first coat to final touch-up
Walls, ceilings, trim and doors on production and custom homes, sprayed and rolled to your finish schedule.
Interior work follows drywall and trim carpentry. We prime once the drywall is signed off, spray the trim and doors while the floors are covered, and come back for finish coats and your punch list.
Ceilings first, then walls, then trim touch-up
Floors, glass and fixtures masked before we spray

Prep
Prep on every lot
Drywall check
We look at every wall in raking light and mark flaws for the drywall crew before we prime.
Mask and protect
Floors, windows, fixtures and hardware are covered or removed before spraying.
Caulk and fill
Trim joints and nail holes are filled and caulked so the finish coat lays flat.

Questions
Interior questions
Who buys the paint, and which products?
We supply premium paint by default and can use your spec or your supplier's account. Ask for the product data sheet for any product on your bid.
What does a bid include, and what doesn't it?
It includes the surfaces, coats, products and colors we list, masking, cleanup and the punch-list visit it names. It leaves out repairs to other trades' work and colors added after the schedule is set. We price those in writing before we do them.
Do you paint model homes and sales centers?
Yes. We schedule a model as its own phase with its own color schedule, and add a touch-up visit before the sales office opens.
What does the warranty cover?
Our workmanship on the paint we apply is covered by our written warranty. Terms, limits and exclusions are in that document, and manufacturers' product coverage is separate.
