What an interior repaint covers
Every Atrium interior proposal is built from the same catalog of lines, in the order the work happens. Lines you do not need are removed; nothing is hidden inside another line.
| Stage | Line | What it means on site |
|---|---|---|
| Protect | Protection, furniture handling and daily cleanup | Floors, counters and fixtures covered; furniture covered room by room; cleanup every day |
| Repair | Drywall repairs and prep sanding | Patches, nail pops, skim over damage, sanded to a paint-ready surface |
| Repair | Popcorn ceiling removal and smooth finish | Only when it is a line on the proposal |
| Carpentry | Baseboard supply and installation; pocket-door and cased-opening trim | Missing casing supplied and installed, raw jambs primed and painted |

Related questions
- How is interior painting priced?
- Room by room, by surface: wall square footage (perimeter times ceiling height), ceiling square footage, and linear feet of trim — baseboard, casing, crown, doors and jambs together. Labor and material are separate lines on the proposal, and the paint is listed by product and by the gallon, so you can see exactly what goes on the wall.
- What does $2.57 per square foot include?
- That figure is from a completed whole-house repaint on an occupied home: protection of floors and furniture, drywall repairs and sanding, two coats on 3,500 square feet of wall and 2,000 square feet of ceiling, 600 linear feet of trim, doors and baseboards, a closet room, and daily cleanup. It came to $14,178. It is the all-in price divided by the wall and ceiling area painted.
- Do I have to move out?
- No. The reference job above was done with the family living in the house. Furniture is covered room by room and the crew cleans up at the end of every day. Packing and moving personal belongings is not part of a painting scope; on that job it was priced separately by the hour.
- Which paint do you use inside?
- Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint Interior Acrylic Latex on walls, ProClassic waterbased acrylic-alkyd on trim, doors and cabinets (it levels like an oil enamel without yellowing), flat ceiling white on ceilings, and PVA primer on any new drywall. Multi-purpose primer goes on water stains and patched areas.
- What is not included?
- Wallpaper removal, whole-wall skim coating, popcorn ceiling removal unless it is a line on the proposal, flooring, cabinetry, countertops, plumbing, electrical, anything structural, lead or asbestos testing, and any surface not specifically listed in the scope.
