Interior Painting Services in South Bend, IN

Our Detailed Interior Painting Plan

With years of professional interior painting expertise in South Bend, our painting team knows exactly what to do to get the job done quickly and to a high standard.

Step 1 – Color Selection
Before we start, you will have to choose your color. If you would like to replicate a color already on your wall, you can use an old can of paint for reference, or you can take a chip to the paint store. We can help you identify the color, the finish, and type of paint with our visualizer tools, and we also offer a Color Consulting Service if you need help coming to a decision.

Step 2 – Protect the Area
We cover the furniture and floors with a new, clean piece of protective plastic sheeting. We also protect your floors with drop cloths, taking care to secure every inch of the room.

Step 3 – Prepare Surfaces
Our painting crew prepares the walls for interior painting by filling any holes or cracks in ceilings and walls, sealing any stains, and scuff sanding any uneven surfaces, including loose or old paint. This creates the smooth, clean canvas necessary for a beautiful finish.

Step 4 – Apply New Paint
After any areas repaired in the previous step are primed, we apply premium quality paints for a uniform finish. There are multiple finish options, including flat, matte, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss, and high-gloss, and we will have gone over the benefits of each with you beforehand so you can make an informed decision. The time will vary depending on the size of the job, but we will always ensure to work as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Step 5 – Clean Up
The paint will dry within a few hours, and you do not need to vacate the house while this is happening. The crew removes all the painting materials and coverings. We sweep your floors and carpets and put everything back exactly where we found it while paying close attention to doing a thorough job cleaning the work area.

Step 6 – Walk Through Inspection
After our own inspection, your Job Site Supervisor will walk you through the space, giving you the opportunity to review our work and to provide any initial feedback. You may also be contacted for a follow-up satisfaction survey so that we know how we measured up to your expectations. Our paint jobs are designed to last up to 7 years on a properly maintained surface, so you will get to enjoy your beautiful newly painted room for years to come.

Common Questions About Interior Painting Projects

How much does it cost to paint a house interior?

The cost of interior painting will vary depending on several factors including the square footage, the number of coats, the conditions of the surfaces, how much the color is changing, the height of the walls, and the labor rate in the region the home is located.

Do I need to move furniture before the crew arrives?

Your local painting team will cover and protect the furniture and floors, but if there is a delicate piece of furniture or an heirloom that is tricky to move, please remove it before your painting team arrives or make sure you notify the Job Site Supervisor before they begin the project.

Can you match the paint color already on the walls?

Your local independently owned and operated CertaPro Painters® franchised business can match just about any paint color on your home using a chip of paint or wet sample. Even if you do not remember the original color codes, we can still match the color.
