Fresh Paint Without the Hassle

Interior painting for homes and commercial spaces throughout Jersey City

You're looking at scuffed walls, uneven patches from old repairs, or a color that no longer fits the space. Interior painting in Jersey City starts with surface prep, which means filling nail holes, sanding rough spots, and priming over stains or dark colors so the new paint goes on smooth and even. PNS General Contractor handles the prep work, cutting in around trim, and applying consistent coats so you don't see brush marks or roller lines when the light hits the walls.

The process includes moving furniture away from walls, taping off trim and fixtures, and covering floors with drop cloths. Paint is applied in two coats for full coverage, with drying time between each layer. The result is a clean finish that doesn't peel at the edges or show through in spots where the old color was darker.

If you're refreshing a rental unit or updating your home in Jersey City, schedule interior painting to review color options and project timing.

How Our Process Works

When you book interior painting, the first step is clearing the walls and protecting your floors and furniture. In Jersey City, where many homes have older plaster walls, any cracks or loose sections are patched and sanded before primer goes on to create a uniform base.

Once the prep is complete, PNS General Contractor cuts in around windows, doors, and ceiling lines with a brush, then uses a roller to cover the larger wall sections. Each coat is applied evenly to avoid lap marks, and the paint is allowed to dry fully before the second coat is added. You'll notice the walls look smooth and the color stays consistent from one end of the room to the other, even in natural light.

The service includes minor wall repairs and standard surface prep, but does not cover mold remediation or extensive plaster restoration. Furniture can be moved back into place once the final coat has dried, typically within a few hours depending on ventilation and humidity.

Key Benefits of This Service

These questions address common concerns from property owners and renters preparing for interior painting projects.

What type of paint is used for high-traffic areas?
Semi-gloss or satin finishes are easier to wipe down and resist scuffing better than flat paint. They're commonly used in hallways, kitchens, and rental units.
How long does interior painting take?
A single room typically takes one day including prep and two coats. Larger spaces or homes with multiple rooms may require two to three days depending on drying conditions.
Why is surface prep necessary before painting?
Skipping prep leads to visible imperfections, peeling edges, and uneven color. Filling holes and priming over stains ensures the finish lasts longer and looks cleaner.
What happens if the old paint color shows through?
Primer blocks the old color and creates a neutral base, especially when covering dark or bold shades. Two finish coats are applied over the primer for full coverage.
When should walls be repainted?
Repaint when walls show scuffs, stains, or fading, or when preparing a property for sale or new tenants. Fresh paint also helps reset a space after renovations or repairs.

Paint that's applied over properly prepped walls doesn't peel, streak, or show brush lines once it dries. If you're ready to refresh your space in Jersey City, schedule interior painting to discuss color selection and timing that works with your schedule.
