How much does interior painting cost in Washington DC?

A single room starts around $400. A full 3-bedroom home interior starts around $2,500. A multi-story DC row house typically starts at $3,000 or more. Final pricing depends on square footage, ceiling height, surface condition, number of colors, and paint selection. Farrow & Ball projects run 20-30% more due to material costs. We provide complimentary in-home consultations with a detailed written proposal.

How long does an interior painting project take?

A single room takes about 1 day. A full 3-bedroom home takes 3 to 5 days. A multi-story row house may take 5 to 7 days. We provide a clear timeline before work begins and honor it.

What paint brands do you use?

We use Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, and Farrow & Ball exclusively. Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams for most rooms. Farrow & Ball when you want extraordinary depth and character — its heritage-inspired colors and velvety finish are unmatched for dining rooms, living rooms, and formal spaces.

Do I need to move my furniture before you arrive?

No. Our team handles all furniture moving and protection. We reposition items, cover everything with clean drop cloths, and return furniture to its original placement when complete.

Do you paint trim, crown molding, and baseboards?

Yes. We paint all trim, baseboards, crown molding, window casings, door frames, chair rails, and wainscoting. Trim is brush-painted with semi-gloss or high-gloss finish for a crisp, durable result.

Can you paint high ceilings and stairwells?

Absolutely. We have specialty ladders and scaffolding for vaulted ceilings, two-story stairwells, and high walls common in DC row houses and historic homes.

Are you licensed and insured to paint in Washington DC?

Yes. Painters DC holds DC License #420226000008, valid through November 2027. We carry comprehensive general liability insurance and workers' compensation, and are BBB accredited with an A- rating.

Do you offer free color consultations?

Yes. We offer complimentary, in-person color consultations at our Kalorama, Washington DC studio. Explore palettes from Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, and Farrow & Ball under natural light.

How do you handle older homes with plaster walls?

DC is full of homes with original plaster walls. We inspect for cracks, soft spots, and moisture damage, then repair using setting compound and skim coating. Once smooth and primed, plaster holds paint as well as any modern drywall.

Do you offer a warranty on interior painting?

Yes. Every project comes with a 2-year written warranty. If any workmanship issues arise — peeling, bubbling, or uneven coverage — we return and correct it at no additional cost.

Do you follow lead-safe practices for older DC homes?

Yes. Many Washington DC homes built before 1978 contain lead-based paint. When disturbing existing paint on older surfaces, we follow EPA lead-safe work practices — including containment, wet methods, HEPA vacuuming, and proper debris disposal.

Do you offer wallpaper removal or popcorn ceiling removal?

Yes. We offer wallpaper stripping and popcorn ceiling removal as part of our interior painting preparation services. Both services include full surface repair and priming before paint is applied.
