Interior Painting Services Lenexa KS
Interior house painting services are probably 80% of what we do during winter months because that's when people get tired of being stuck inside looking at walls they hate. And honestly, interior work is where you really see the difference between someone who knows what they're doing and someone who just owns a paint roller.
Most interior painting projects start with moving furniture properly - not just pushing everything to the center of the room and throwing a tarp over it. Protection is everything - floors, trim, fixtures, outlets. Seen too many hack jobs where they got paint on hardwood floors or left brush marks on expensive baseboards.
The prep work is where most painters cut corners, but it's the most important part. Fill nail holes, sand rough spots, caulk gaps, prime properly. You skip any of that and it shows up in the final result. But when it's done right, the transformation is dramatic - rooms look bigger, brighter, more expensive.
Had this colonial over on Lackman Road where every room was painted different shades of beige. Homeowner was afraid to use color because previous painter told her anything else would look "too bold." We did her living room in a soft blue-gray and suddenly the whole house felt updated and welcoming. Sometimes people just need someone who knows how colors actually work in different lighting.
Interior house painting services aren't just about slapping paint on walls. It's about understanding how different rooms get used, what kind of wear they get, what lighting conditions they have. Bathrooms need paint that handles humidity. Kids' rooms need washable finishes. Formal dining rooms can use different sheens than family rooms.
The whole interior painting process usually takes 2-4 days per room depending on size and condition. Day one is prep work and priming, day two is cutting in and first coat, day three is second coat and touch-ups, day four is cleanup and moving furniture back. Can't rush it or you get amateur results.
Commercial interior painting services work differently - tighter deadlines, working around business hours, higher quality expectations. But the same principles apply - proper prep, quality materials, and attention to detail. The difference is you can't have do-overs when you're working in someone's business.
