I am Tyler Finnigan, and I run the company the way I was trained to in the Marine Corps: show up when we said we would, protect what is not being painted, do the prep nobody sees, and leave the room cleaner than we found it. This page explains what an interior painting job with us actually looks like, what it includes, and what it costs, so you know before you call.
What interior painting services in Annapolis, MD include
Every interior job follows the same order, whether it is one bedroom or the whole house.
Consultation and estimate. We come to the house, look at the rooms with you, talk through colors and timing, and give you a written estimate. The estimate is free and it is detailed enough to budget from.
Color and design selection. If you are not sure about a color, we bring three free test samples and paint them in more than one spot in the room, so you can see the color in morning light and evening light before you commit.
Preparation. This is the part that decides whether the finish lasts. We patch holes, sand, clean the surfaces, and prime where the wall needs it. New paint over an unprepared wall looks fine for a month and shows every flaw after that.
Painting. Two coats on walls, with trim, ceilings and doors cut in cleanly. Our interior pricing is built on two coats, minor prep, masking and cleanup, with labor and materials included.
Cleanup and walk-through. We clean up each day and walk the finished rooms with you at the end.
What we paint inside
Walls and ceilings. The bulk of most jobs. Ceilings are priced separately on our pricing page and pro-rated when we paint the walls in the same room.
Trim, baseboards and doors. Clean lines where the wall meets the trim are what people notice first in a finished room. If you are curious how a door gets done right, our guide to painting interior doors walks through it.
Kitchens and bathrooms. Moisture and cleaning are the issue in both. The prep matters more here than anywhere else in the house, and the finish has to stand up to being wiped.
Bedrooms and living rooms. Usually the straightforward rooms, and where a color choice makes the biggest difference. If you are near the water, our post on warm coastal neutrals for Annapolis and Arnold interiors is a good place to start.
Stairways and two-story spaces. Priced on their own on the pricing page because of the height and the equipment.
How much does interior painting cost in Annapolis?
We publish our interior prices. The interior pricing page lists what a typical room’s walls, ceiling, trim and doors cost, what is included, and what costs extra (hardware changes, hole filling, glazing). For a quick starting number on your own rooms, the painting estimate calculator is free. An exact quote still starts with a free estimate at the house.
How long does it take?
A single room usually takes one to two days. A whole house can take up to a week. You get the timeline in writing with the estimate, and our On Time, On Dime guarantee is the reason to trust it: if we miss the agreed schedule or budget, we write you a $1,000 check.
What you need to do before we arrive
Clear furniture and decor from the rooms being painted. Our team helps with the heavier pieces. Everything that stays is covered, and floors are protected before the first can is opened.
Why hire an interior painting contractor instead of doing it yourself
Rolling a wall is easy. Cutting a straight line along twelve-foot ceilings, patching so the repair disappears, and getting two even coats on a stairwell is not. Most of the calls we get for interior repaints are to fix a job that was rushed. If you are comparing companies, our post on comparing interior painting contractors and reviewing estimates explains what to ask, and what makes Finn’s different covers the guarantees in full. Painting inside in winter? Our guide to painting inside when the weather will not cooperate covers timing. You can see finished rooms in our gallery.
