Interior painting in Morgan Hill and the South Bay

The short version: We cover everything, repair the walls, cut clean lines by hand and paint two coats. A room or two is a quick job; a whole house is scheduled with you at the estimate. The estimate is free, itemized and in writing. Call or text (408) 464-7665.

What an interior job looks like from your side

The crew arrives in the morning, moves what has to be moved and covers the rest with plastic and drop cloths. Curtain rods, switch plates, outlet covers and blinds come down. Nail holes, dents and cracks get filled and sanded. Then the painting starts, usually ceilings first, then walls, then trim and doors. At the end of every day the room is cleaned up, so you can live in the house while the work is going on. Judy Blair’s review on Google describes it well: no bleed lines between the ceiling and the walls, not a drop of paint on the floors, and everything put back, down to the light switches.

Low-VOC paint

Every major brand makes low-VOC and zero-VOC interior paints, and they are what most customers ask for: the smell is gone in hours rather than days and the house is fine for children and pets while the work is going on. Ask for them at the estimate, or name the brand and product you want.

What moves the price

Room count and ceiling height matter most. A two-story entry or a vaulted living room needs scaffolding or planks. After that it is the amount of trim and doors (trim is slow, careful work), how many colors you want, and the condition of the walls. A house that was last painted fifteen years ago with a lot of patching to do costs more than one that just needs a refresh. Ramon’s quote lists it room by room.

Houses built before 1978

A lot of the South Bay’s housing stock was built in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, and paint from before 1978 can contain lead. Color Pros is EPA Lead-Safe Certified, which means the crew tests, contains and cleans up the way the EPA rule requires when it disturbs old paint. It is part of the job, not an extra.
