Noblesville Interior Home

Just finished prepping and painting an entire home located in Noblesville. I put two coats of eg-shell on all the walls in two colors - Kilim Beige and Divine White. I did paint one bedroom in a blue color. I also painted both sides of a new steel front door. This was my largest painting project and it took me eight days.


Steps:
  1. Removed electrical plates;
  2. Sanded walls;
  3. Spackled a lot of nail pops and other small holes;
  4. Washed walls;
  5. Taped out baseboards, door trim, and other trim;
  6. Applied first coat on walls - let dry;
  7. Lightly sanded walls between coats;
  8. Applied second coat on walls;
  9. Pulled tape and masking paper;
  10. Did touch-ups on ceiling, trim, and walls; 
  11. Painted both sides of the front steel door;
  12. Cleaned up.

Fishers bedroom and pantry

Finished a bedroom and closet, laundry room, and miscellaneous touch-ups in Fishers on Tuesday. In both the bedroom and laundry room, I painted the ceiling and walls. When I got to the job, the customer had a half dozen other touch-ups - including the closet -  that she asked if I could complete and I agreed.


Steps:
  1. Removed electrical plates;
  2. Sanded walls;
  3. Washed the walls with simple green;
  4. Filled a lot of fairly large holes created when the wire shelves were removed from the laundry room and the bedroom closet. I had to fill several times in order to ensure they didn't show once I applied the eg-shell;
  5. Masked out entire floor with durable paper in order to keep any drips off the carpet in the bedroom and the tile floor in the laundry room;
  6. Painted ceilings;
  7. Painted trim in laundry room;
  8. Taped out baseboards, door trim, and other trim;
  9. Applied first coat on walls - let dry;
  10. Applied second coat on walls;
  11. Pulled tape and masking paper;
  12. Did touch-ups requested;
  13. Cleaned up and presented to customer.
