Interior Painting in Charlotte, NC

Sheen is a practical choice as much as a look. Flat and matte finishes hide small surface flaws, which is why ceilings are usually flat. Eggshell and satin wipe clean more easily, so they suit hallways, family rooms and bedrooms where hands touch the walls. Semi-gloss stands up to scrubbing and moisture, which makes it a common pick for trim, doors and bathrooms. We talk through the sheen for each surface at the estimate.

Dark colors raise the stakes. A deep wall color with lamps or sconces washing across it shows every roller mark and patch. One Google reviewer had exactly that: a dark dining room with accent side lighting that another painting company had declined as too hard to get right. We painted the walls and repainted the ceiling, crown and baseboards in the same room. When the homeowners asked to add another wall on the day and already had the paint, we added it for what the reviewer called a really reasonable amount.

Some jobs are about fixing earlier work. One reviewer had painted his own office and was unhappy with the result. We repainted it so it looked as though he had never touched it, along with three more rooms and the entire ceiling of his first floor. Another family needed two bedrooms painted before they moved into a new house, and we scheduled the work so it was finished before move-in.

Our published price guide gives interior ranges so you can plan. Walls only run $2.75 to $6.00 per square foot, and walls plus ceilings plus trim run $3.50 to $7.00 per square foot.
