Clean, Contemporary Repaint for a Palatine Home
A Case Study by
CertaPro Painters® of Palatine, IL
A One-Day Interior Update with Drywall Repairs
In November 2025, CertaPro Painters® of Palatine completed a quick, one-and-a-half-day interior refresh for a homeowner in Palatine, Illinois – proof that a space can feel completely renewed in a short amount of time when professionals are involved.
Even though the home was already well cared for, the existing colors and dated wallpaper were holding the rooms back from the clean, modern look the homeowner wanted.
Our team carefully removed the old wallcoverings, smoothed and repaired the underlying surfaces, and prepped the walls and ceilings to ensure a flawless finish. With fresh, contemporary paint colors applied throughout, the transformation was immediate: brighter rooms, sharper details, and a renewed sense of style that made the home feel current and inviting once again.
PROJECT OVERVIEW:
The crew performed a full interior prep and repaint, beginning with filling minor cracks, nail pops, and small holes in both the walls and ceilings. Additional prep included removing a wallpaper border, repairing corner beads, and completing a roughly 3×5 inch drywall patch.
Bare areas and new repairs were spot-primed to ensure uniform coverage before painting. Once the surfaces were restored to a smooth, consistent finish, the team applied fresh paint to complete the transformation and bring a modern, refreshed feel to the home.
While this project was straightforward, our crew coordinated the steps of the entire process efficiently to achieve the high-quality finish the homeowner expected. Thanks to careful planning and skilled workmanship, the team successfully delivered a seamless, updated interior without delays.
