Interior painting covers a lot more than rolling color onto a wall. In Fort Mill, most jobs fall into a few categories: whole-house repaints when a family moves into an older home in Baxter Village or Tega Cay, single-room refreshes before selling, ceiling and trim work, and cabinet or built-in painting. The prep work usually matters more than the paint itself. That means patching nail pops and drywall cracks, sanding, caulking gaps at trim and baseboards, priming stains or bare drywall, and protecting floors and furniture before a brush ever gets loaded.
What to look for before hiring
A written estimate should break out labor, paint, and prep separately, and it should name the paint brand and sheen (eggshell or satin for walls, semi-gloss for trim, flat for ceilings is standard). Ask how many coats are included, whether they're moving furniture or you need to clear rooms yourself, and how they handle humidity from Carolina summers, which slows drying time and affects when a second coat can go on. Get proof of insurance, and ask to see photos of finished rooms rather than just exteriors.
