Paint only looks as good as what's underneath it. Most of a painting job is prep, filling nail holes and cracks, sanding patches smooth, caulking gaps at trim and ceiling lines, before a roller ever touches the wall. Skip that and every patch shows through the finish coat under the right light.

Bad prep shows up in specific ways. Lap marks appear where one section dried before the next was rolled over it. Flat, uneven sheen shows where a patch wasn't primed before topcoat went over it. Caulk lines that were skipped leave a visible gap at the ceiling that gets worse as the house settles.

Sheen matters more than most people think. Eggshell hides small wall imperfections better in living rooms and bedrooms, while semi-gloss on trim and in bathrooms holds up to cleaning and humidity. Ask what primer is going under any patched drywall and whether the paint being used is rated for the room, a hallway takes more wear than a formal dining room and should be painted with that in mind.

The order of work

How it runs

  1. Protect the space Furniture gets moved or covered and floors get protected before any prep work starts.
  2. Patch and sand Holes, cracks and rough spots get filled and sanded smooth.
  3. Caulk and prime Gaps at trim and ceiling lines get caulked, and any bare or patched drywall gets primed.
  4. Cut in and roll Edges get cut in by hand, then walls and ceilings get rolled evenly.
  5. Final coat and cleanup A second coat goes on where needed, then the space gets cleaned and checked for touch ups.

Painting questions

How many coats do I actually need?

Most walls need two coats to get an even, true color, especially over a patched or previously painted surface. Dark color changes or bare drywall sometimes need a tinted primer first to keep the coat count reasonable.

Will the paint smell go away quickly?

Low odor paints have gotten much better, but ventilation still speeds things up. We'll talk through keeping windows open or using fans during and after the job if that matters to your household.

What's the difference between eggshell and satin finish?

Eggshell has a slightly flatter look and hides small wall imperfections better, while satin has a bit more sheen and wipes clean a little more easily. Either works fine in most rooms, it usually comes down to how much wall texture is showing and personal preference.
