Interior PaintingTwo Coats. Minimum.
Paint hides nothing. If the drywall isn't feathered, the trim isn't caulked, or the edges are taped crooked — you'll see it every day.
Most 'cheap painters' cut 3 corners: they use one coat (looks fine for 90 days), they don't caulk trim gaps (shadows show immediately), and they tape lazy (wavy edges). We do all three right and the job lasts 8–10 years.
What's Included in an NHS Paint Job
- Move and protect furniture; drop-cloth everything
- Fill nail holes, patch small drywall defects, sand smooth
- Caulk trim gaps (this is what separates a pro job from a DIY job)
- Cut in by hand — no lazy tape, no wavy edges
- Two full coats minimum. Three on deep colors or color changes.
- Color-matched caulk tube + touch-up kit handed to you at close
- Clean up everything. You won't find a drop when we leave.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cost of painting a bedroom?
Walls only in a 10×12 room: $325–$475 labor + $60–$120 paint. Walls + ceiling: $475–$650 labor + $90–$160 paint.
How long does interior paint take to dry?
Modern latex paint is dry to the touch in 2–4 hours. Full cure takes about 30 days. Furniture can go back in the next day, but hanging pictures and heavy scuff contact should wait a week so the film hardens without marring.
Should I hire a professional painter for my kitchen?
Kitchen cabinet paint jobs specifically, yes. Spraying cabinets in a dust-free zone, with proper primer, requires a pro setup — a DIY brush-paint job on cabinets peels in 2 years. Spray finish lasts 15+.
What color should I paint my kitchen?
2026 trends lean warm — creamy whites (SW Alabaster, BM White Dove), warm greiges (SW Accessible Beige), deep greens (SW Evergreen Fog), and sage tones. For backsplash-heavy kitchens, a neutral cabinet lets the tile shine.
