What Are the Benefits of Hiring a Professional Interior Painter?
The Home Depot’s one-stop shop for interior painting services makes it easy to get multiple jobs done for your home’s interior at once.
✔ Quality Paint Job
Our interior painters guarantee not just a solid paint job, but also prepare your walls or surfaces and use the proper primer and materials to ensure longevity and no chips, flakes, or patchiness.
✔ Save Time
Painting can be costly and time-consuming if you aren’t sure what you’re doing – it can take weeks or months to simply paint a room. Hiring a seasoned professional means knowing the job gets done promptly and correctly.
✔ No Clean-Up Required
There’s no need to worry about cleaning, paint splatter, or washing up. Our Pro painters prepare your space before the job begins and leave your space looking just as it did before – only a little better.

Things to Ask Your Interior Painter
When hiring a Local Pro painter, it’s important to communicate your expectations, as well as to be clear on what is or isn’t included with their interior painting service.
Make sure that everyone is on the same page by asking about the following:
1 How should I prepare for my appointment?
- Find out what you need to do before your Local Pro painter arrives
- Ask your Pro whether they’ll move your furniture, cover your floors and furniture with drop sheets, remove wall-mounted frames and fixtures, and cover plates for light switches or electrical sockets, or if you should do that yourself
2 What prep work goes into the painting job?
- Many interior painters will begin their work by prepping the walls to ensure as clean a paint job as possible
- Ask your painter if the job will include drywall hole repair or drywall patch work, taping around all edges and corners, and applying a layer of primer
3 Do you provide a contract and guarantee your work?
- Ask whether you’ll need to provide upfront payment or deposit and whether they guarantee their work
- Ask for an itemized record of the work that the Local Pro has been hired to complete and sign this before work begins
4 Will you purchase the paint for me/help me choose the paint?
- Some painters may also act as a colour consultant and help you choose paint for your project, ensuring that you find the right colours and finishes
- You can also ask your interior painter if they will purchase the paint for you at an extra cost, or if that is included in the cost of the job
What are the different types of interior paint?
Flat/Matte
Flat or matte paints are ones with the least amount of shine but the most amount of pigment. They are a cost-effective choice that provides full coverage but are not as durable as other types of interior paint.
✔ Best for: Bedrooms, dining rooms
Eggshell
Eggshell paint is the medium between flat/matte paint and satin paint. Its look and feel is generally flat with some gloss to it.
✔ Best for: Living rooms, dining rooms
Satin
Satin paint is the most popular type of interior paint and is a paint that has a degree of glossiness to it. However, it is unsuitable for any walls that have noticeable imperfections.
✔ Best for: Children’s rooms, kitchens, bathrooms
Semi-Gloss
Semi-gloss paint is similar to satin paint but has much more sheen. This sleek and shiny paint allows light to bounce off the walls more easily and provides high resistance to moisture.
✔ Best for: Bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, utility rooms, doors
High-Gloss
If semi-gloss paint isn’t shiny enough, high-gloss paint will provide that mirror-like appearance that you might be going for.
✔ Best for: Doors and cabinets
