Interior Painting

The brief

A great interior repaint should feel inevitable. The new colour should sit on the walls as though it had always been there, the cut lines should disappear into the architecture, and the trim should look as crisp as the day the house was built. Achieving that requires more than a good roller — it requires a process that respects every step in the order the surfaces demand.

At Source 4 Painting, interior work is the heart of what we do. Roughly seventy percent of our annual project mix is residential interior work, and every job — from a single hallway repaint to a complete sixteen-room farmhouse restoration — receives the same five-step process led personally by Michael Burns.

What's included

A standard interior repaint includes a full on-site consultation, written estimate, complete furniture protection, surface preparation (cleaning, sanding, caulking, filling), spot priming as required, and two coats of premium finish paint on the agreed surfaces.

Trim, doors, baseboards and millwork are sanded, dusted, primed where needed and finished with a high-quality enamel — typically Benjamin Moore Advance or Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane — which dries to a hard, washable finish that resists chipping for years.

Ceilings receive one or two coats of a dedicated ceiling paint depending on condition. We do not skip the ceiling unless you specifically ask us to.

Materials we recommend

For walls in living rooms, bedrooms and dining rooms we typically recommend Benjamin Moore Aura or Regal Select in a matte or eggshell sheen. For kitchens, bathrooms, mudrooms and high-traffic hallways we recommend Aura Bath & Spa, Scuff-X or Sherwin-Williams Emerald in a satin sheen — products engineered to resist moisture, scuffs and frequent cleaning.

For trim, doors and built-ins we specify Benjamin Moore Advance in a satin or semi-gloss sheen. Advance is a waterborne alkyd that levels like an oil-based enamel but cleans up with water and does not yellow over time.

Timeline and pricing

A typical interior repaint of a three-bedroom home — walls, ceilings, trim — takes our crew between four and seven working days. A single room is generally completed in one to two days. Pricing depends on the square footage of the surfaces, the level of preparation required, the products specified and the ceiling height. We provide a precise number on the written estimate; we do not publish per-square-foot rates online because doing so almost always misleads.

Pricing is fully transparent. The written estimate breaks out materials, labour, preparation and any optional add-ons line by line. The number you see is the number you pay, barring scope changes you approve in writing.

Warranty

Every interior repaint is backed by a written two-year workmanship warranty. If a properly maintained finish fails because of how we applied it — peeling, flaking, lifting, or visible adhesion failure — we return and correct the work at no charge to you.
