When it comes to transforming your home, few updates have the same impact as a fresh interior paint job. Whether you’re refreshing a few rooms or giving your entire home a makeover, interior painting can completely change the way your space feels. But if you’ve ever hired painters before – or tried to do it yourself – you know the experience can either be smooth and rewarding, or messy and stressful.
This guide will help you understand what really goes into interior painting in Wilmington, NC, so you can make the best decision for your home.
Why Interior Painting Is More Than Just Color on the Wall
Interior paint does more than brighten a room. It protects your walls, trims, and ceilings from daily wear, moisture, and stains. The right sheen can even make a room easier to clean. Professional painters think about more than aesthetics – they also consider longevity, washability, and how light affects the final look.
What Drives the Cost of Interior Painting
Homeowners often know what paint costs, but not what drives labor costs. Here’s what goes into your estimate:
- Preparation: Moving and protecting furniture, repairing drywall, caulking trim, and sanding surfaces. Skipping prep is why many DIY jobs look uneven.
- Paint Quality: Premium paints from Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, PPG, or Spectrum last longer and clean more easily. Bargain paint may need redoing in just a couple of years.
- Crew Professionalism: Reliable employees (not subcontractors) mean consistency, background checks, and OSHA-certified safety training.
- Clean-up: A true professional team leaves your home ready to live in – not dusty and chaotic.
Cheap labor may save money today, but the work rarely lasts. Properly maintained professional interiors last 7–10 years, compared to just a couple of years from general-contractor-grade finishes.
