What the work covers
Interior painting means walls, ceilings, trim and doors, prepped and primed where needed, finished with two coats. We patch minor wall damage as part of the job — nail pops, small dents, hairline cracks — so the surface is ready before paint goes on.
We also offer cabinet painting and exterior painting as separate services, each quoted on its own.
What we see in Pelham homes
Pelham includes the Village of Pelham and the Village of Pelham Manor, with a mix of older and newer housing.
Plaster walls are common in older homes, and patching plaster takes a different process than patching drywall — plaster needs longer to cure before it can be primed. In newer construction we're more often working with standard drywall, which patches and primes on a different timeline.
If your home was built before 1978, ask any painting contractor about lead-safe work practices before sanding old paint. We take a look at the condition of previously painted surfaces before we start prep work.
How we price the job and what the estimate visit looks like
The exact price for your painting job comes with the free on-site estimate. We walk the space with you, look at the condition of the walls and trim, talk through color and sheen, and put together a line-item proposal so you can see what you're paying for.
There's no obligation to book after the estimate. It's a chance for us to see the rooms and for you to ask questions before anything is scheduled.
What's included, and what's quoted separately
We supply all materials — paint, primer, patching compound and consumables — and each of those appears as its own line on your quote. You approve the paint color and sheen before we start.
The estimate covers two coats on prepped walls, ceilings, trim and doors. If a color needs more coverage, or if we find additional damage once prep work is underway, we go over it with you and get your approval before it's added to the job.
Timing and living through the work
We attach a certificate of insurance to every quote. If your co-op or condo board needs it sooner, we send it ahead of the visit.
Paint needs time to dry between coats, and patched plaster needs to cure before it can be primed. We schedule around that, which can mean the job runs across more than one visit depending on its size.
We move furniture away from the walls and cover floors and remaining furnishings before we start. Rooms stay usable between coats, though wet paint needs to stay clear of foot traffic and pets. We ventilate as we go and clean up at the end of each day.

Interior Painting in Pelham: questions we get
How much does interior painting cost in Pelham?
The exact price comes with the free on-site estimate. What we quote depends on the number of rooms, the condition of the walls and trim, and whether we're patching plaster or drywall.
Do I need to buy the paint myself?
No. We supply all materials, including paint and primer, and they show up as their own lines on your quote. You choose the color and sheen.
How long does a room take?
It depends on wall condition and drying time between coats — plaster patches need longer to cure than drywall. We map out the schedule, including how many visits the job will take, at the estimate.
Do you provide a certificate of insurance for my co-op or condo board?
We attach a certificate of insurance to every quote. If your building needs it sooner, we send it ahead of the visit.
What's covered under the warranty?
Our interior painting work is covered by a one-year workmanship warranty.
Do you test for lead paint before sanding?
If your home was built before 1978, ask any contractor about lead-safe work practices before sanding old paint. We take a look at the condition of previously painted surfaces before we begin prep work.
