Interior Painting — Direct Answers
What is interior painting?
Interior painting covers preparation and coating of walls, ceilings, trim, doors, and built-ins inside a home — typically with low-VOC acrylic latex in a matte, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss sheen chosen for the room's use.
Why does interior painting fail?
- No primer over patched drywall — flashing and uneven sheen show in raked light.
- Cheap paint that requires 3-4 coats and still flashes — false economy.
- Painting over greasy kitchen walls without a degreaser — paint peels in months.
What does interior painting cost?
$2–$4 per square foot for walls and ceilings. A typical 2,000 sq ft Thumb home interior repaint runs $4,000–$9,000 depending on trim work, color count, and ceiling height.
What products should be used for interior painting?
- Sherwin-Williams Emerald Interior — best-in-class washability and stain resistance
- Sherwin-Williams Cashmere — silky low-sheen for living areas
- Sherwin-Williams ProClassic Acrylic Urethane — factory-smooth trim and door enamel
How long does interior painting last?
8–12 years on walls with Emerald; 15+ years on trim and doors with ProClassic. Kids' rooms and high-traffic halls wear faster.
What preparation is required for interior painting?
- Patch nail holes and dings with lightweight spackle
- Sand patches flush and dust with a tack cloth
- Degloss and degrease trim, kitchens, and bathrooms
- Prime patches, stains, and color changes from dark to light
- Cut clean lines with high-quality blue tape and a 2.5" angled sash brush
What maintenance is needed for interior painting?
Spot-clean walls with a damp microfiber. Keep leftover paint labeled for touch-ups. Plan a full repaint every 8-10 years in living spaces, 5-7 in kids' rooms and high-traffic halls.
