Our Interior Painting Process
Every interior painting project with RJK Painting follows a proven, step-by-step method designed to deliver a flawless, long-lasting finish. Whether you’re hiring us or simply want to understand how a professional painting job should be done, this is the process we follow—no shortcuts, no guesswork.
From prep to cleanup, every detail is handled with care. Here’s exactly what you can expect when we paint your space:
FURNITURE
All furniture and blinds need to be removed away from the painting surface – you can elect to have us do this for you or you can save a little bit of money and do it yourself.
COVERING/MASKING
Any surface that will not be painted will be covered or masked off before the project. Plastic will cover any furniture or floors to eliminate possible damage.
DRYWALL
Holes, cracks or missing texture will be repaired in drywall before the painting process begins.
CLEANING
The surface must be clean and dry before we begin – we will wipe down all surfaces to ensure the best paint adhesion.
CAULKING
Any cracks around baseboards, windows or doors will be re-caulked if necessary.
SCRAPING AND SANDING
All loose paint will be scraped away and surfaces sanded where needed before we begin painting.
PAINTING
Typically, we spray ceilings first to apply an even coat, then paint walls with two coats of paint. We use 12” or 18” rollers, depending on the job, keeping a wet edge and rolling from ceiling to floor.
CUTTING IN
Painting the edges and “cutting in” takes skill and experience to do it right. Our process uses slow, long strokes to get the best results.
CLEAN UP
All coverings and masking will be removed by our crews once the painting is completed. No mess will be left behind from our crews.
INSPECTION
Every completed interior painting job is inspected for quality by the owner and you will get a chance to review it before you sign off on the job.
