Project Description
This interior painting project in Frankfort, IL, covered four bedrooms, an upstairs hallway, and a staircase landing. The homeowner wanted a modern, cohesive update with a balanced color palette. We focused on walls, ceilings, trim, doors, and the staircase, ensuring a smooth, long-lasting finish.
Our team worked for five days, handling all prep work, priming, and painting. The staircase required extra care, including sanding, priming, and multiple coats of finish. We used Sherwin-Williams Emerald Designer Series paint for its durability and rich color payoff. The final result? A polished, elegant transformation that completely refreshed the space.
Background/Story:
The homeowner had been hesitant about updating their home due to concerns over disruption and color selection. They wanted a subtle yet stylish change—something that would modernize their space without feeling too bold.
After reviewing color samples and finishes, they chose a mix of Dorian Gray, Software, Creamy, Accessible Beige, and Urbane Bronze. We provided daily updates throughout the project, making sure they were informed every step of the way. By the end, they were thrilled with how the fresh interior painting brought new life into their home.
