Interior painting transforms your home, brightens living spaces, and protects surfaces. Below are clear answers to the most common questions homeowners ask before starting an interior painting project, with helpful Randall’s resources throughout.
Why should I update the interior paint in my home?
Fresh paint improves appearance, protects walls from wear, and updates the overall style of your living spaces. Interior coatings also help resist moisture, stains, and scuffing in high traffic areas.
How often should interior rooms be repainted?
Most interiors benefit from repainting every three to seven years depending on traffic, sunlight exposure, and room use. Kitchens, hallways, and kids rooms may need more frequent updates.

How do I choose the right color for a room?
Lighting, room size, decor, and desired mood all affect color selection. Test paint samples directly on the wall to see how each color looks throughout the day. Randall’s specialists can help you refine your palette.
What preparation is needed before interior painting?
Homeowners can remove decor, unplug electronics, gather fragile items, and move furniture away from walls. Painters handle patching, sanding, repairs, caulking, and priming where needed.
Do I need to be home during the painting project?
You can be home or away as long as the painters have clear access and communication. Many homeowners stay available at the beginning of the project and during the final walkthrough.
How long does interior painting take?
A single room usually takes one to two days. Full interior projects may take several days depending on the number of rooms, wall condition, and the complexity of the work.
What affects the cost of an interior painting job?
Project size, wall repairs, trim work, ceiling height, finish selection, and product quality all influence cost. Investing in quality coatings improves durability and reduces future maintenance.
Are low odor or low VOC paints available?
Yes. Many interior paints offer low odor and low VOC formulas that are ideal for families, sensitive spaces, and homes that need to stay occupied during the project.
How do I maintain interior paint after the project is complete?
Regular dusting, gentle cleaning, and quick touch ups help keep walls looking fresh. Avoid harsh scrubbing on matte finishes. Use mild soap and water for washable paints.
Is priming always necessary before interior painting?
Priming is important when dealing with new drywall, stains, dark colors, or uneven surfaces. Your painter will determine whether a primer coat is needed for the best results.
What should I expect during an interior painting consultation?
A painter will measure the space, check the wall condition, recommend products, discuss colors, outline prep needs, and provide a schedule and clear cost breakdown.
