Fishers Interior home (19 gallons used)

We painted the exterior of the house two years ago and the customer called and wanted an estimate on painting the entire inside of the house because he was putting it up for sale.  He wanted all the walls, trim, and doors done in every room including closets. After my initial walk-through, I told the customer this would be a very large request because it would take a lot of preparation before we even started painting.  It did - we spent three days just prepping that including spackling, caulking, and electric sanding and cleaning every inch of the walls. I thought it would take us ten days to complete and we completed in eight days - although a few of those days were very long. 

The project included two coats of Sherwin Williams ProMar in an eg-shell sheen on the walls and Sherwin Williams ProMar extra white in a semi-gloss on all the trim and doors (19 doors).  We used six different colors on the walls throughout the house. The colors were Sedate Gray, Retreat, Jogging Path, Anonymous, Escape Gray, and Urbane Bronze. We used 16 gallons on the walls and three gallons on the trim and doors. We removed the doors and sprayed the out.

This was definitely the largest interior painting project that Ryan and I have tackled. It was a challenge but we did not have too many obstacles. Probably the biggest obstacle was the condition of the walls and trying to make them look as well as we could.  Also, we had to work around a lot of furniture, which always slows you down. 

I added a few pictures, but they are a little fuzzy. I am going to switch from my iPhone camera to a regular digital camera in the future.

The combination of colors used in Interior Painting has made the house perfect. All the colors used here has their own grace.
