It depends on the room and usage. High-traffic areas like hallways, kitchens, and kids’ rooms often need fresh paint every 2–3 years, while bedrooms and other low-traffic spaces can go a bit longer with proper care.

Yes, and it matters more than most people realize. High-quality paint brands offer better coverage, richer pigmentation, and greater durability, which means fewer coats, longer-lasting results, and a more refined finish. Lower-end paints often lack consistency and can lead to uneven application or faster wear. As professionals, we use brands that have proven performance because they deliver superior results our clients can see—and rely on—for years.

Flat or matte finishes are great for ceilings and low-traffic areas, while eggshell or satin works well in living rooms and bedrooms. Semi-gloss or gloss is recommended for kitchens, bathrooms, and trim because it holds up to moisture and frequent cleaning.

Yes, but it requires careful surface preparation using the right products and techniques to ensure a durable, professional finish. Stains must be properly sealed to prevent bleed-through, and glossy surfaces need to be treated to allow new paint to bond effectively. Hiring experienced painters ensures the job is done correctly from the start, saving time and avoiding common issues like peeling or uneven coverage.

Paint is typically dry to the touch within a few hours, but we recommend waiting 24 hours before moving furniture back or wiping down walls. Cure time (when paint fully hardens) is usually around 2–3 weeks.
