Let us refresh your interior:
Our interior painting process ensures that your walls are well-prepared before we ever open a paint can. Whether you have drywall, plaster, or horsehair plaster walls, our painters ensure the final finish and color are gorgeous. And because choosing a color can stump the best of us, we offer (free) in-home color consultation to help you choose colors that you’ll love for years to come. See our residential painting frequently asked questions page for more information about how we treat our South Shore and Boston Clients to the best painting experience in the Boston area.
Our Interior Painting Process
From start to finish, you can depend on CertaPro Painters® to deliver on our promise of care, quality, value, and certainty. This is what defines professionalism and an extraordinary painting experience. We work in the Boston area, on the South Shore, and in the towns surrounding Plymouth and Dartmouth, Massachusetts.
Step 1 - Color Consultation (Complimentary!)
Our designer, Kate Rafoth, helps you choose colors that work with your existing furnishings. Kate has an education in interior design and worked as Sherwin Williams’ color expert before working with us. Kate can help you narrow down colors to a few paint choices that will work well with your furnishings. She will never push you into colors you’re not comfortable with but will help expand your options to colors you might not have chosen without guidance.
Step 2 - Protect the Area
On your project start day, the crew will begin by prepping the home's interior to protect surfaces while the project is underway. Furniture will be moved away from the walls, drop cloths will be put down around the perimeter, and masking tape will be applied to edges and trim. We also protect floors with drop cloths to ensure the paint does not get on the floor and equipment does not scratch the surfaces.
Step 3 - Prepare Surfaces
Next, the crew prepares walls and ceilings by filling in holes, dents, and cracks. This step may also include removing wallpaper or peeling paint. Rough areas are sanded to smooth out the surface. Once complete, the walls are smoother and ready to be painted.
Step 4 - Apply New Paint
We use premium quality paint products for smooth and long-lasting results. Interior walls have a range of sheens and finishes, including flat, matte, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss, and high gloss, each with its pros and cons. During your initial estimate appointment, our project estimator will help you determine the best finish for your project. Our crews work quickly and efficiently and deliver consistently professional results.
Step 5 - Clean Up
After painting, the paint is left to dry for a few hours. The crew will use this time to clean the area of tools, drop cloths, tape, and other interior painting equipment. We vacuum and return furniture to its original position.
Step 6 - Walk Through Inspection
You will have an opportunity to review the completed work on your own, then be walked around with a CertaPro Painters Job Site Supervisor to review the completed project. This is an opportunity to give feedback and point out areas that need touching up.

In addition to painting, we can help with a variety of interior projects for your home. See below for an overview of our interior service lines.

Frequently Asked Questions About Interior Painting Projects
How soon can you paint my South Shore home’s interior?
We get this question all the time, so we post our current painting timeframes here. Generally, we paint customers on a first-come, first-served basis (usually within 2-3 weeks of receiving your deposit). Still, we understand that sometimes things come up, and you must complete your interior painting by a deadline. Let us know your deadline, and most often, we can meet it.
How much will it cost to paint my home’s interior?
Here’s our interior pricing guide – these are average prices, and once we get to your specific interior project, we’ll be able to give you a firm quote. If you’d like a firm quote, you can schedule one here.
How long will it take to paint my home’s interior?
The time it takes to paint your home’s interior depends on the size of the painting project and the size of the crew we put on your project. In general, our average crew of 3 painters can paint two 12 x 12 rooms (walls and trim) per day. Because we have both large and small painting crews, we can put a larger crew on a project if you need it done faster.
Here’s a general idea of how an interior project progresses:
- Painters move the furniture to the center of the room(s) and drape the furniture with plastic.
- Colors sampled and finalized, and wall preparation begins.
- Holes in drywall, plaster or horsehair plaster are repaired and sanded.
- Wood trim is sanded
- Primer is applied either as a spot prime on areas that were repaired, or as a full prime when changing wall color drastically.
- 1-2 coats of premium paint are applied to walls and trim.
- Touch ups are done after customer inspection is complete.
