Prime surfaces if needed, apply paint with proper tools and techniques, apply straight cut lines between walls and trim, and clean up the area.

Complete a project walk-around, complete final touch-ups where required, clean up the area, and conduct the final project walk-around with the owner.

How Should I Pick My Interior Paint Color?

We can share more tips with you when you contact us; however, most homeowners find these tips helpful when selecting an interior paint color:

Is the room narrow or wide?

Dark colors recede, while light colors advance. To make a narrow room wider, paint the end walls dark and the long walls light.

Do you want to make a small room feel bigger or smaller?

The above applies to small rooms and big rooms. To make a small room look bigger, use lighter shades of paint. To make a large room feel smaller, select darker shades.

Have you looked at your chosen color in different lighting?

View paint swatches during the day and at night.

Is the color uniform?

Choose a single color to shine in a space; other colors should only be used as accents.
