What interior painting involves
Interior painting is more than rolling color onto walls. A good job starts with moving or covering furniture, patching nail holes and cracks, sanding, caulking trim, and priming bare or stained spots. Then come two coats on walls, ceilings, trim, or doors. Most of the quality is in the prep, and that is where cheap bids tend to cut corners.
What to look for
Winsted has many older homes, so ask about lead-safe practices for pre-1978 houses, plaster repair, and how the painter handles old oil-based trim. Get a written quote that lists the rooms, number of coats, paint brand and line, and who supplies the materials. Check for proof of insurance, and ask to see recent interior work.
