Fresh walls and trim without moving out

A main floor usually takes 4 to 7 days. The range comes down to prep: more nail holes, cracks and tired trim mean more filling and sanding before any paint goes on. Your quote lists every surface and the prep, so you'll see what's driving the time.

Yes. People stay home the whole time. We work room by room and put each room back together at the end of the day when we can, and we leave the house cleaner than we found it every single day.

Nothing. We move it ourselves, put it in the middle of the room under plastic and lay canvas on the floors. Just take pictures, mirrors and breakables off the walls before we arrive.

Not at all. Keep them out of the rooms we're working in that day so nobody walks through wet paint. Your crew lead will tell you each evening which rooms are next, so you can plan around it.

Benjamin Moore Regal Select on walls. It washes well without going shiny, and it touches up without showing a patch. Benjamin Moore Advance on trim and doors, because it levels out like an oil paint without the smell, and it cures hard.

Before we leave, we walk every room with you and blue tape and fix what you mark. You keep the leftover paint, labelled by room and colour, plus a small touch-up kit. Jordan calls a month later to see how it's holding up, and interiors carry a 4-year written warranty that transfers if you sell.

Not if it's flaking or might contain asbestos. In older homes we ask for a test first, because painting seals the problem in rather than fixing it.

One coat of paint-and-primer-in-one over patches and a colour change looks fine at night and blotchy in the morning sun. We prime the patches and always do two full coats on walls.

Maya Chen's crew does most of our interiors. You get the same crew from the first day to the last, and your crew lead texts you directly, so you're never chasing an office for answers.
