Licensed General Contractor
Ohio GC license, not just a painting contractor. We handle framing, drywall, tile, flooring, and carpentry in-house. One contractor, one schedule, one point of contact from start to final walkthrough.
Prep Work That Actually Lasts
Interior paint fails because of shortcuts, not bad paint. We fill holes, repair cracks, sand rough patches, caulk trim gaps, and prime stains before any finish coat. It takes longer, but it's why our interiors still look clean years later.
Fully Insured
Ladders, scaffolding, and two-story work come with risk. We carry full general liability and workers comp on every project. Your home and our crew are protected.
2-Year Workmanship Warranty
Painting, drywall, framing, tile, flooring. If it fails because of our work, we come back and fix it. Period. No runaround, no finger-pointing, we've got your back. 2 years from completion.
No Deposits to get started
We don't ask for large deposits or money upfront because we believe trust is earned. Labor is never paid before the work is complete, and final payment is only requested after walkthrough and signoff.
Interior Surfaces We Paint
Walls & Ceilings
Living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and every wall in between. We cut clean lines at ceilings and corners, roll smooth finishes, and back-brush where needed. Ceilings get flat or matte finishes that hide imperfections. Walls get the sheen that fits the room — flat for bedrooms, eggshell or satin for high-traffic areas. See our walls and ceilings painting page for details.
Trim, Baseboards & Crown Molding
Trim work shows every flaw. We fill nail holes, caulk gaps where trim meets walls, sand rough edges, and apply semi-gloss or high-gloss finishes that clean easily and hold up to scuffs. Baseboards, door casings, window trim, and crown molding — all detailed by brush for a smooth, professional finish. Need new trim installed? We handle finish carpentry too.
Interior Doors
Hollow-core, solid wood, and panel doors. We prep, prime, and finish doors to match your trim or create contrast. Proper technique means no drips, no brush marks, and hardware reinstalled correctly. Check out our trim, doors, and cabinets services.
Kitchen Cabinets
Cabinet refinishing is one of the most cost-effective kitchen upgrades. We remove doors and hardware, clean, sand, prime, and spray multiple coats for a factory-smooth finish. No brush marks, no orange peel, just clean results that hold up to daily use. Planning a bigger project? See our kitchen remodeling services.
Accent Walls
Bold colors, dark tones, or subtle contrast — accent walls create focal points that anchor a room's design. We help you choose the right wall based on natural light and sight lines, then execute with clean edges and even coverage. Learn more about our accent wall painting approach.
Stairways & High Ceilings
Two-story foyers, vaulted ceilings, and open staircases require proper equipment and safety protocols. We have the scaffolding, ladders, and experience to reach every surface safely. No cutting corners because a wall is hard to reach.
PaintWerks Knows Interiors
Living Rooms & Family Rooms
The rooms you use most deserve finishes that hold up. We recommend eggshell or satin sheens for walls — durable enough to wipe clean, soft enough to hide minor imperfections. Accent walls, ceiling treatments, and trim updates all handled under one scope.
Bedrooms
Bedrooms benefit from calming colors and flat or matte finishes that create a restful atmosphere. We move furniture to the center, protect floors, and work efficiently so you're back to sleeping in your own room quickly. Need a dramatic color change? We handle the extra prep that dark-to-light or light-to-dark transitions require.
Kitchens
Kitchens see grease, moisture, and constant traffic. We use washable, scrubbable finishes rated for these conditions. Cabinet painting, wall updates, and ceiling refreshes — we coordinate everything so your kitchen is functional again fast. See our full kitchen remodeling capabilities.
Bathrooms
Humidity and moisture require mildew-resistant paints and proper ventilation during application. We prep surfaces to prevent peeling and apply finishes rated for wet environments. Painting a bathroom during a remodel? Check out our bathroom remodeling services.
Basements
Finished basements, rec rooms, and home offices below grade. We address moisture concerns, prime concrete block if needed, and apply finishes appropriate for basement conditions. Finishing an unfinished basement? We handle the full scope — see our basement finishing services.
Whole-House Repaints
Moving in, selling, or just ready for a refresh — we handle full-house interior repaints efficiently. Room-by-room scheduling so you can live in your home during the project. One crew, consistent quality throughout. Looking for a bigger update? See our home renovation services.
Our Interior Painting Process
Every interior project follows the same proven workflow. Clear communication, thorough prep, professional application, and a final walkthrough before we leave. No surprises, no callbacks, no touch-ups needed six months later.
Inspection & Estimate
We walk through your home and note every surface that needs attention — wall condition, ceiling stains, trim damage, texture issues, and existing paint failures. You get a detailed written estimate within 48 hours that breaks down prep work, repairs, and paint. No hidden fees, no deposit required.
Prep Work
Good prep means good results. We fill nail holes, patch drywall damage, sand rough spots, caulk gaps between trim and walls, and prime stains. Furniture gets moved and covered. Floors get protected with drop cloths. If there's damage behind the surface, we find it and fix it. It's the work you don't see that makes the finished product last.
Paint Application
We cut clean lines by brush and roll smooth, even coats. Back-rolling for proper coverage, multiple coats where needed, and the right sheen for each surface. We use Sherwin-Williams interior products — Cashmere, Emerald, and Duration — rated for durability and washability.
Final Walkthrough
We walk the completed project with you before cleanup. Touch-ups handled on the spot. Drop cloths removed, furniture returned, and your home ready to enjoy. You don't pay until you're satisfied.

Interior Painting Questions
How long does interior painting take?
Single rooms typically take 1-2 days. Multiple rooms run 3-5 days. Whole-house interior repaints take 5-10 days depending on size and prep needed. Homes requiring extensive drywall repair or cabinet work will take longer. See our project timeline FAQ for more details.
Do I need to move furniture before you arrive?
No. We move furniture to the center of each room and cover it with clean plastic sheeting. Floors get protected with drop cloths. At the end of each day, we put everything back so you can use your home normally. See our prep and protection process for details.
Can you paint over wallpaper?
We can, but we don't recommend it. Wallpaper seams and textures show through paint, and adhesive can fail over time causing bubbling and peeling. We recommend removing wallpaper, repairing the wall surface with proper drywall finishing, and then painting for results that last.
Do you repair drywall before painting?
Yes. As a licensed general contractor, we handle drywall repair, texture matching, and surface prep in-house. If we find damage during prep, we fix it before any paint goes on. No calling another contractor, no delays.
What paint brands do you use?
Sherwin-Williams interior products — Cashmere, Emerald, and Duration depending on the room and use. Premium paints that cover well, wash easily, and hold their color. We use the same quality products on our commercial interior projects.
How do I choose the right paint colors?
We can help. Lighting, existing finishes, and how you use the space all affect how colors look. We recommend testing samples on your walls before committing — colors shift dramatically between natural and artificial light. Need a major color change from dark to light or light to dark? We handle the extra prep work required. Check our service areas to confirm we cover your neighborhood.
Do you paint cabinets?
Yes. Cabinet refinishing is one of the most cost-effective kitchen updates. We remove doors and hardware, clean, sand, prime, and spray multiple coats for a factory-smooth finish. See our cabinet painting services for details. Planning a bigger update? Check out our full kitchen remodeling capabilities.
