Color is a personal choice and usually the hardest part of a painting project. While we won’t make the decision for you, we’ve pulled together a few guides to help you narrow it down and feel confident in your choice.
Choosing the right finish is just as important as picking a color. The finish determines durability, sheen, and how well the paint holds up in each space. This guide will help you understand which finishes work best in different rooms.

Yes, we can match most paint colors, even if you don’t know the original brand or shade. If you have an old can or a chip of the paint, we can bring it to Sherwin-Williams and have it scanned for an exact match. In rooms with older paint, we can also blend touch-ups so the transition looks seamless.
That said, lighting, wall age, and surface wear can sometimes make a “perfect” match tricky. We’ll be honest with you about whether a repair will blend in completely or if repainting the whole surface will give you the best result. Our goal is always to leave the space looking consistent and fresh, not patchy.
Prep day is the loudest and dirtiest part of the job. We’ll patch holes, sand rough spots, caulk gaps, and prime any stained or tricky surfaces. Expect the sound of sanders and tools — this is the heavy-lifting day that sets up the paint to look great and last.
We also protect floors, furniture, and fixtures so only the walls get paint. The better the prep, the better the finish. It’s not glamorous, but it’s the step that makes everything else look professional.
Painting usually starts between 9:00 and 10:00 a.m. and can run as late as 9:00 p.m. We work long hours to make steady progress and to finish on time, while still wrapping up early enough so we’re not in your way at night.
We cut in edges, roll for smooth coverage, and apply multiple coats if needed. You’ll see the transformation unfold through the day, but you can also expect us to keep the space tidy and walkways clear so your home still feels livable. By the end of the day, you’ll have a fresh, clean space that already feels new.
Most interior rooms are usable the same day we finish. The paint will be dry to the touch within a few hours, so you can move around normally without worrying about smudges.
Bathrooms and kitchens are a little different. Steam, heat, and daily use put more stress on fresh paint, so it’s best to give those spaces extra time to cure before heavy use. Full curing for any room takes up to 30 days, which means the paint is still hardening and reaching maximum durability.
Paint is easy to maintain with a little care. Wipe scuffs gently with a damp cloth or mild soap if needed. Avoid harsh cleaners or scrubbing sponges, especially while the paint is still curing.
Planning a light touch-up every few years keeps walls looking fresh without needing a full repaint. If you ever have questions about care, we’re happy to walk you through the best methods for your specific finishes.
Wall painting is the foundation of most interior paint projects and the reference point for all add-on pricing. This is where the biggest visual transformation happens, and it is also where experience matters most.
Base pricing
Standard bedroom or similar room (up to approx. 12 × 12): $850
Two-room bundle: $1,500
Single accent wall: $250
Room size is based on what a real estate professional would consider a standard bedroom or comparable space. Larger rooms, higher ceilings, or unusual layouts may require review.
What’s included
Two full coats of premium Sherwin-Williams paint
Up to two gallons of wall paint included
Full surface prep including nail holes, light dents, and sanding
Complete floor and furniture protection using layered plastic and drop cloths
Clean lines, consistent coverage, and final walkthrough touch-ups
Paint is applied at full coverage, not stretched thin. Using sufficient material allows thicker, more even coats, better leveling, and fewer touch-ups after the second coat.
Paint selection
Wall paint is selected based on room use, lighting, and desired finish. Cashmere Low Lustre is commonly used for its smooth finish and ability to hide minor imperfections. Other sheens or products may be recommended when durability or lighting conditions call for it.
Tinted paint is always left with the homeowner for future touch-ups.
What’s not included
Ceilings
Trim, doors, or closets
Major drywall repair or water damage restoration
Moving large furniture or clearing rooms
These items can be added individually or handled as separate services.
How pricing stays predictable
Rooms that fall within the standard size range and condition can be priced clearly and confidently. Before scheduling, photos are reviewed to confirm wall condition, repairs, and any specialty prep needs so there are no surprises on paint day.
Ceilings are not automatically included with wall painting, but they are one of the most impactful upgrades you can make to a room. Old ceilings often show shadows, roller marks, water stains, or uneven color that only become obvious once the walls are freshly painted.
Pricing
Standard ceiling (empty or lightly furnished room): $250 add-on | $400 standalone
Furnished rooms or complex layouts: Reviewed by photo
Stain-blocking primer required: Additional cost if needed
Pricing assumes a standard bedroom or living room with ceiling height under 15 feet.
What’s included
Protection of floors, furniture, and fixtures
Light prep including sanding and spot repairs
Two full coats of flat ceiling paint
Clean, even finish designed to minimize glare and streaking
How ceilings are painted
Ceilings are painted using professional rollers and flat finishes designed to hide imperfections. Work is completed with controlled lighting and consistent coverage to avoid flashing or lap marks.
Notes
Water stains, smoke damage, or discoloration may require primer
Textured ceilings can be painted if the texture is stable
Vaulted or high ceilings may require review
Trim is priced separately from wall painting due to the detailed prep, slower application, and higher-finish materials required. It can be added to a room repaint or completed as a standalone service.
Pricing
Baseboards, window trim, and door casing (standard room): $250 add-on | $400 standalone
Heavy or oversized trim packages: Reviewed by photo
Pricing assumes a standard bedroom or living room footprint. Final pricing is confirmed after photos are reviewed.

Nail hole filling and light caulk touch-ups
Sanding to smooth previous brush marks or wear

How trim is painted
Trim is painted in place using fine-finish rollers and brushes designed to minimize texture and brush marks. Floors are protected with layered coverings throughout the process.
Notes
Trim previously coated in oil-based paint may require additional prep
Heavily damaged or layered trim may need repair pricing
Decorative or historic trim profiles require review
Doors are painted separately from walls due to the extra prep, handling, and drying time required. They can be added to a room repaint or completed as a standalone service.

Most doors are painted in place to reduce disruption. Doors are only removed if necessary and if space allows for proper drying.
Notes
Severely damaged or previously peeling doors may require additional prep
Heavy commercial or oversized doors require review
Closets are painted separately from room walls. They are almost always finished in white and use a different paint than living spaces, so they are handled as add-ons or standalone projects.
Pricing
Reach-in closet: $150 add-on | $225 standalone
Walk-in closet: Starting at $250 add-on | $325 standalone
Coat or utility closets: Priced individually

If you’ve made it this far, you’re already setting your project up for success. Certain conditions allow work to move faster and with less risk, and when that happens, I’m happy to pass some of that efficiency back to you.
To receive these discounts, just mention that you’d like the empty room and/or no carpet efficiency thank-you when you reach out.
Empty room: –$50
A room containing no furniture or personal belongings. Typically either a house you just bought or are selling or you removed all the furniture for us to make the job easier.
No carpet: –$50
The easiest way to ensure no splatter or paint drops on carpet is to not have any in the room to start! We always do two layers of covering over the areas we are working, but we love not having the mental worry of “what if.”
Empty room with no carpet: –$100
Even with these conditions, the same protection, prep, and finish standards apply. Floors are still protected, surfaces are still prepped properly, and paint is still applied at full coverage.
What changes is the flow of the work. Clear, open spaces reduce setup time, lower the chance of accidental contact, and allow the job to move smoothly from start to finish. When the job is simpler to execute without cutting any corners, I’m able to reflect that in the final price.
Discounts are confirmed after photos are reviewed and before scheduling.
Applies to painting projects where the listed conditions are met
Not available on small standalone or minimum service projects
Does not stack with bundled room pricing
Changing the color of a room is more than a style choice, it’s a reset button. The right paint transforms how a space looks, how it feels, and how you use it every day. When you walk into freshly painted walls, it’s like coming home to a brand-new house. Suddenly, your living room feels bigger, your kitchen feels brighter, and your bedroom feels more relaxing. A good paint job doesn’t just change walls, it changes the way you experience your home.
Exterior paint does more than change the look of your home. It protects it. In Northeast Ohio, weather is tough on siding, trim, and doors, and the right finish acts like armor against snow, rain, and summer sun. At the same time, a fresh coat transforms how the world sees your home, boosting curb appeal and giving you a place you are proud to come back to every day.
Old wallpaper can make a room feel dated fast, and removing it the wrong way can ruin drywall or leave behind glue that ruins your next paint job.
We’ve done enough of these to know the tricks: steam when needed, score carefully, and get every last bit of adhesive off so your walls are perfectly smooth and ready for a fresh coat of paint.
Whether you’re planning to repaint yourself or want us to handle the full project, we’ll take the hardest, messiest part off your DIY list and leave the surface ready for primer.
Every home collects dents, dings, and cracks over time. Maybe it’s a doorknob hole, water damage from a leak, or seams that have split as the house settled. Left alone, these flaws don’t just look bad — they ruin even the best paint job. We take care of repairs big and small so your walls look smooth, clean, and ready for a lasting finish.
