Project timelines vary based on the size of the home and the scope of work. Most interior painting projects can be completed within a few days, while larger exterior projects may take a week or more, depending on weather conditions.
A proper residential painting job should include surface preparation, patching small wall imperfections, sanding, protecting furniture and floors, primer when necessary, and at least two coats of paint. If a company skips prep work, the finish usually fails early.
Most interior walls should be repainted every 5–7 years, but high-traffic areas like kitchens, hallways, and kids’ rooms may need attention sooner. Cheap paint shortens that cycle. Good preparation and quality products matter more than just color choice.
