Nothing less than perfection In Oakland

Full Interior House Painting Services

Interior painting isn’t just about rolling paint on walls. It’s about creating a finish that lasts and looks professional from every angle. Our process includes complete furniture and floor protection, removal of switch plates and hardware, patching nail holes and imperfections, sanding for smooth surfaces, precision cutting-in at edges and trim, and thorough cleanup at the end of each day.

We work efficiently to minimize disruption, communicate daily so you always know our progress, and perform a detailed final walk-through before collecting payment. Our 10 full-time crews bring 100 years of combined experience, and we’ve applied over 60,000 gallons of paint across the San Francisco Bay, so we know how to deliver results that exceed expectations.

Transform your kitchen or bathroom for a fraction of replacement cost. We use Renner and Cabinet Coat (premium coatings designed for durability) and follow a meticulous process: complete disassembly, degreasing, sanding, priming, and flawless finish coats. Learn more about our cabinet painting process.

Walls are the foundation of every interior project. We patch, sand, prime, and apply premium paints in your chosen color and sheen, delivering smooth, uniform coverage that looks professionally finished from every angle and lighting condition.

Ceilings are often overlooked, but they’re critical to your home’s overall appearance. We use low-spatter techniques, proper roller covers, and premium ceiling paints to deliver even coverage without drips, roller marks, or texture issues.

Crisp, clean trim makes the difference between amateur and professional results. We sand, prime, and apply durable coatings with precision brushwork, delivering sharp lines and smooth finishes that highlight your home’s architectural details.

We carefully remove old wallpaper without damaging drywall, repair any surface issues, and either paint or install new wallpaper with precision. Whether you’re transitioning to paint or installing custom wall coverings, we handle every step with care.

Holes, cracks, and imperfections must be properly repaired before painting. We patch, sand, and texture-match damaged drywall so repairs blend seamlessly, delivering a flawless substrate for your new finish.

Custom stain matching is one of our specialties. Whether you’re staining new woodwork, matching existing finishes, or restoring historic millwork, our stain masters deliver color and tone consistency that’s nearly impossible to detect.

Dated popcorn ceilings detract from even the most beautiful interiors. We safely remove popcorn texture (testing for asbestos first).

Smooth out imperfections, cracks, and uneven surfaces with professional skimming and texture repair. We restore walls and ceilings, creating flawless foundations for paint or wallpaper that enhance your home’s finish.
