Painting – Interior

Work Completed Date:

April 20, 2010

Approximate Cost:  $4,950.00

Home Build Year: 1940

Description Of Work:

I hired House Painting Inc. to paint all but 2 rooms in my 1200 sq ft, 3 bedroom 1 bathroom house. There was alot of prep work to do since some areas had not been painted in about 15 years and the house is older (built in 1940). The two painters did a very thorough job sanding, scraping, patching and cleaning surfaces. They forgot to mask off a few areas before sanding but overall were very careful. They did 2 coats of paint – brushing, rolling and spraying where necessary. The kitchen cabinet doors had already been removed so it made sense to set them up in the back yard and spray them. My plan called for four different colors and 3 different sheens so I was concerned that they would have a difficult time figuring out the color scheme but they had no problem keeping it all straight. They wanted to use oil based paint on the trim because they felt they would get a smoother finish but they went along with my request to only use No-VOC paint from Benjamin Moore. This was an added cost since it was not one of the brands from their list but it was worth it to me. When the job was done, no paint fumes!! Overall I am very satisfied with the quality of their painting and with the clean-up and I would recommend them.
