Interior
Wall & Ceiling Painting
Nothing refreshes a dull, dated-looking room like an accent wall or new paint color. A fresh coat of paint on your interior walls and ceilings helps brighten up the room, erase damage and renew the drywall or plaster protection fresh paint provides.
For most people, painting walls and ceilings can be a difficult and messy task, which is why they hire the professional painters at Empire.
“That’s okay, I know a guy…”
We all know someone who “does painting.” From the contractor-nephew to the interior decorator, they mean well, but weeks or months later, you’re still waiting, or it doesn’t look professional, and there’s nothing you can do.
Many residential interior painters are self-employed, with limited skills and the allure of low prices. They simply can’t compete with the quick, confident performance and incomparable results Empire’s professional, full-time painters have been bringing to every project for over 20 years.
Empire Painting’s Interior Painting Process
Step 1 | Protect Areas
The Empire crew will enter your home wearing shoe covers. We then thoroughly cover flooring. We recommend painting prior to installing new flooring, but our crew is accustomed to working in new construction with builders and high-end homes that require particular care.
- Clean drop cloths over carpeting.
- Rosin paper over hardwood or tile surfaces to protect against scratches and damage.
- Plastic masking over countertops, light fixtures and other non-moving or non-finishing design elements.
- Plastic sheets enclose spaces when performing cabinetry and millwork projects to contain dust from sanding and spraying.
Any walls or ceilings not getting painted in a work area, we may mask that surface entirely to protect from overspray.
Step 2 | Prepare Surfaces Before applying paint to surfaces, Empire observes any repairs noted in your detailed proposal. This includes filling nail holes as requested, correcting anchor holes and nail pops and re-adhering failing tape seams. If excessive, failed tape seams should be addressed by a professional drywall contractor.
Imperfections behind the painted surface may be present on homes built prior to 1978 and may not be correctable. Paint covers the surface level only; correcting any deep issues could require extensive repairs. Any visible cracks or stains will be addressed during your estimate. We do not paint over problematic areas that might have a deeper issue like mold or moisture.

Step 3 | Apply Paint
Empire paints most homes using a roller and brush. For new construction, spraying on the first coat is often done for efficiency. Based on our conversations, our estimator will recommend an appropriate sheen. Most walls will have knockdown texture, orange peel or light sand texture. Occasionally, textures are varied throughout a home due to a previous remodeling project or wallpaper removal.
If new drywall has been installed, Empire will apply a matching wall texture and prime before the finishing coats. With few exceptions, we apply two coats to walls and ceilings to ensure proper color appearance and coverage. Empire Painting recommends Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore premium paint for polished results.
Pro tip: select a Benjamin Moore color if opting for Benjamin Moore products. These paints are formulated differently than others.
