This residential interior painting project in New Lenox, Illinois, was extensive in scope and required both strategic planning and careful execution. Over the course of five days, Powers Painting & Decorating was contracted to repaint the walls and ceilings throughout key areas of the home, including high-traffic zones and personal living spaces. The client requested a full walkthrough of measurements and a detailed proposal before work began, which our team provided promptly.

The project included painting the staircase, front door, interior trim, foyer, upstairs hallway, downstairs hallway, two bedrooms, officer’s hallway, bathroom, powder room, and kitchen. In total, the work covered nearly the entire interior footprint of the home. This wasn’t just a touch-up or color refresh—it was a cohesive interior transformation, and the goal was to create flow, balance, and warmth throughout the space.

Despite the project’s scale, Powers Painting & Decorating was able to complete the job efficiently within a 5-day window while maintaining an exceptionally high level of detail and cleanliness. The pricing reflected the comprehensive service and use of custom-tinted premium paint, offering excellent value to the homeowner.

When the homeowner reached out to Powers Painting & Decorating, they were clear about one thing: their home no longer reflected their style or energy. The walls felt dull, mismatched, and in some areas, worn down by time and traffic. The existing paint, a mix of older neutrals and builder-grade finishes, lacked cohesion and depth.

The client had tried living with the outdated palette for years, but with recent updates to their flooring and lighting, the interior paint now felt even more out of place. They knew it was time for a change—but they wanted to get it right the first time. That meant choosing a team they could trust and a color that would carry through the home with confidence.

After the initial consultation and walk-through, they were impressed by how Powers Painting & Decorating balanced professional expertise with genuine listening. They appreciated that our team took the time to understand how each room was used, how light moved through the space, and what moods they wanted to create.

Once the project started, the client’s only job was to sit back and watch the transformation unfold. Our team handled every step—from prep to final walkthrough—with care, precision, and respect for their home.

• Project Consultation & Measurement: Took detailed room-by-room measurements and reviewed lighting, layout, and trim details to draft a complete proposal.
• Surface Preparation: Patched minor wall imperfections, caulked trim gaps, and cleaned all surfaces for optimal paint adhesion.
• Masking & Protection: Masked off baseboards, floors, fixtures, and windows with precision to ensure sharp lines and a spotless finish.
• Ceiling and Wall Painting: Applied multiple coats of custom-mixed interior paint in a consistent gray hue throughout all designated rooms.
• Trim & Door Detailing: Painted interior trim and front door to coordinate with new wall tones, ensuring a clean, cohesive aesthetic.
• Cleanup & Final Walkthrough: Removed all masking, vacuumed and wiped surfaces, and completed a client walkthrough for touch-up requests and satisfaction sign-off.

The end result was nothing short of transformative. The once disconnected and dim spaces were now visually unified by a calm, custom gray that elevated the look of every room. The client loved how the paint responded to light—feeling warm in the morning and refined by evening—and how the hallways, bathrooms, and kitchen all flowed together without feeling overly uniform.

Most of all, they appreciated the experience. The client mentioned feeling “in good hands from day one” and loved that Powers Painting & Decorating kept things clean, organized, and on schedule. Even their stairway, a tricky area to navigate and paint, turned out beautifully—with crisp edges and a finish that felt like new.

This project was a reminder that interior painting is about more than color—it’s about creating a home that feels whole again. Powers Painting & Decorating is proud to have played a part in helping this family fall back in love with their space.
