]]> When painting an empty and unoccupied home interior, the crew will typically spend the better part or all of the first day preparing the home. This means masking the home in its entirety – floors covered in a thick plastic and/or rosin paper, lights, cabinets, fixtures, sinks and everything and anything that does not get painted gets fully masked with tight, clean lines. Switch and outlet plates are removed and re-installed after painting.

Painting usually gets started late in the first day or on the second day, depending on the size of the home. Ceilings are typically sprayed in a flat finish. The doors, casings, and baseboards / trim are then typically sprayed in a semi-gloss finish. The walls are then cut and rolled by hand with inside corners caulked where necessary to create razor sharp lines. All finishes receive 2 full coverage coats as specified to make sure there are no “see through areas” or what painters refer to as “holidays.”
