Largest Interior Project To Date

Ryan and I finished a large interior painting project for a Fishers family on Tuesday. It took us 7 days and had some challenges. For example, a large entryway and stairwell where we needed a 24' extension ladder and our pivit ladder levelers on the stairwell. We also had to paint the stairway railing that included many spindles.What we did:

We completed:
- kitchen
- breakfast eating area
- living room
- entryway






- stairwell
- office
- dining room
- upstairs hallway.

We did both the walls and trim including doors and had to two coat the walls. We used Sherwin Williams ProClassic Trim and Door latex paint for all the trim. We used Sherwin Williams ProMar 200 Low Sheen latex on the walls.

It looked good after we were done. Take a look at the photos.

Latest Painting Project - Interior Rooms

Ryan and I just completed a large entryway and stairwell, hallway, living room, and dining room. It was a challenge because of the high walls and working over the stairwell. But we finished in two days and the repeat customer was happy.

Details of the job with photos:

1 - We repaired some large drywall cracks.
2 - We used both Pivit Ladder levelers over the stairwell with an 8' extension ladder.
3 - We used a Werner 20' ladder to get to the tall walls in the entryway and dining room.
4 - The customer selected Sherwin Williams SuperPaint with a flat sheen for all walls.
5 - The color and sheen were the same so we only needed one coat.

Pelican 2-Step Trimming



I did purchase one and they are handy. My only negative feedback is it tips easily and also is shallower than some so your paintbrush can sit too far down in the paint if you pour too much in.
