Pintura Interior FAQ
How many coats do you apply?+
We apply two coats of finish paint on every job, no exceptions. If we are going from a dark color to a light one, sometimes it takes a third coat to get full coverage. We also prime any patches, new drywall, or stains before we paint. Cutting corners on coats is how you end up with streaks and see-through coverage. We do not do that.
Do you move furniture?+
Yes, we move furniture away from the walls and cover everything with drop cloths before we start. We also tape off trim, cover your floors, and protect anything that should not get paint on it. When we are done, we move everything back. You do not have to worry about prepping or cleaning up. That is all part of the job.
What paint brands do you use?+
We use Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore for most jobs. Both hold up well in Miami's humidity and heat. For kitchens and bathrooms we use a satin or semi-gloss finish that is easy to wipe down. For bedrooms and living areas we usually go with eggshell. If you have a brand or color preference, we are happy to work with it.
How long does interior painting take?+
A typical interior paint job for a three-bedroom house takes about two to four days. Smaller projects like a single room or accent wall can be done in a day. It depends on how much prep work is needed and how many rooms we are painting. We give you a timeline upfront and stick to it.
Do you repair drywall before painting?+
Yes. We patch holes, fix cracks, sand rough spots, and skim coat any areas that need it before we put any paint on the wall. Good paint only looks good on a smooth, properly prepped surface. A lot of painters skip this step and it shows. We always include prep work in our estimates.
Can you help me pick colors?+
We can definitely help with color selection. After doing this for years, we know what works in South Florida homes with the natural light we get here. We can bring sample swatches and even paint small test patches on your wall so you can see how a color looks in your space before committing.
