What the work should include
We review loose coatings, nail holes, worn corners and previous patches, then identify cleaning, localized filling, sanding and primer needs. Wall-only work should clearly exclude ceilings and trim unless you want them included. A full-wall finish avoids treating scattered touch-ups as a complete repaint.
Choices to make before work starts
Compare your sample beside flooring and furniture in daylight and evening light. Choose the paint product and sheen together, because a color sample alone cannot establish how washable or reflective the finished wall will be.
What affects the estimate and schedule
Furniture handling, wall height, repairs and a major color change affect labor. Send room-wide photos and close-ups of damage, and tell us which furnishings will remain.

A question about this work
Can a few spots be painted instead of the whole wall?
Sometimes, but an older coating may differ in color and sheen. Decide after reviewing a sample; a visible wall is often better repainted from corner to corner.
