Product Selection Is Where Most Interior Paint Jobs Go Wrong
Flat paint on a bathroom ceiling is the most common mistake we see on repaint jobs. It looks fine for a few months. Then moisture from showers condenses on the surface, the paint starts to peel, and mildew follows. The fix isn’t repainting — it’s priming with a mold-inhibiting product first, then applying a semi-gloss or satin finish that doesn’t hold water. That’s a day’s work done right the first time, or a callback six months later.
The same logic applies to trim. Trim takes impact — doors bang, baseboards get kicked, chair rails get scraped. A standard interior latex on trim chips at the corners within a year of regular use. Enamel holds. The prep for enamel is more involved — you need a bonding primer if you’re going over old latex, a light sand between coats, and patience while it cures — but the result doesn’t need to be redone.
Cabinets are the sharpest test. The hinge area and the edge of the door where it meets the frame take constant friction. Cabinet painting without proper surface prep and a hard enamel topcoat starts to fail at exactly those points within months. Done correctly — scuff, bonding primer, two coats of enamel, cure time respected — it holds for years.
What Interior Painting Costs
Walls and ceilings run $2–4 per square foot, depending on room condition and finish type. A standard interior repaint on a 2,000 sq ft house — walls, ceilings, trim — typically lands between $5,000 and $9,000. New construction is on the lower end; a house with textured ceilings, nail pops, and patched drywall throughout costs more because the prep takes longer.
Cabinets are priced separately. A full kitchen cabinet repaint — doors, frames, drawer faces — runs $1,500–$3,500 depending on door count and current finish. Painting over factory lacquer or thermofoil that’s peeling requires more prep work than painting over previously painted cabinets in good condition.
Every estimate is done in person. Room condition, ceiling height, existing finish type — those details matter. We quote the full scope before work starts.
OUR FLOORING SERVICES
Interior painting for residential and commercial clients. Walls, ceilings, trim, and cabinets done in proper sequence.
Walls & Ceilings
Full room repaints, new construction, accent walls. Mold-resistant formula in bathrooms, laundry, and kitchens — not standard latex. Sheen selection matched to the room's use and light.
Trim, Baseboards & Doors
Cut in by hand. Enamel on all trim — satin minimum, semi-gloss where durability matters. Proper bonding primer over existing gloss surfaces so the enamel doesn't peel at the edges.
Cabinet Painting
Scuff and degrease, bonding primer, light sand between coats, hard enamel topcoat. Sprayed for doors and drawer faces where a brush-free finish matters. This is a multi-day process — we don't rush the cure time.
Commercial & Multi-Unit
Office spaces, rental units, multi-family buildings. Low-VOC products for occupied spaces. Scheduling around tenants when needed.
Drywall Repair & Prep
Nail pops, settlement cracks, patched holes — addressed before paint, not painted over. Level-5 finish where walls will take a gloss or semi-gloss sheen.

WHY CHOOSE RAINWOOD CONSTRUCTION?
Interior painting is straightforward — until it isn’t. The problems show up six months later when the bathroom ceiling starts to peel or the cabinet doors chip at the hinges. Getting ahead of that means using the right products in the right rooms from the start.
The quote is done on-site: room by room, noting existing finish type, surface condition, sheen requirements. Cabinet painting, if it’s in scope, is priced on door and drawer count. No flat-rate guesses over the phone.

Years Experience
We had an excellent experience with them on our sunroom project. The quality of the work was outstanding, they were easy to work with, and they clearly explained each step, the schedule, and key decisions (with various options to help us understand cost) along the way. Communication was solid from start to finish, and the final result looks great. Highly recommend, they are my new go to recommendation when friends ask.
Rainwood construction completed 2 projects in my home recently. The first, which was to add a bar in my family room, which when completed fit so well that it looked like it always belonged there. It came out exactly how we wanted it and we love it. The second project was to completely remodel and modernize my 1955 original kitchen. The kitchen turned out fantastic! It’s light and bright with clean lines exactly how we had envisioned it. The team was polite, competent, hard working and always cleaned up after themselves at the end of the day. They always made sure to ask how I wanted things done when there were options, making suggestions where needed and made sure I was happy with the completion of items along the way. I was very pleased with the quality of the work, plan to use them again in the future and have already recommended them!
Excellent work done ✅ I’m really impressed and looking forward working further. Recommend 👍
Anatoliy and his company, is great person to have a business with!!!
We just remodelled the entire main floor of our house; the scope included changing floors, installing new cabinets including a drop ceiling, added a custom entertainment wall, and fully upgraded the powder room, among other work such as electrical upgrades including an EV plug. We are overall very happy with the work that the team has done, satisfied with the cost, and definitely recommend them to others.
Toli did great work renovating our home and upstairs bathroom. It was a great change.

FAQ
Flat or matte for low-traffic walls and ceilings where you want to hide imperfections. Eggshell for living rooms and bedrooms — wipes clean, still low-sheen. Satin for kitchens, bathrooms, kids’ rooms. Semi-gloss on trim and cabinets everywhere.
Yes, with the right primer. Dark saturated colors — navy, charcoal, deep red — need a tinted primer coat before the finish color. Skipping the primer means three or four topcoats to achieve coverage, which costs more in time and material than one primer coat.
A standard room — walls, ceiling, trim — is a day’s work. A full house repaint with trim runs 3–5 days depending on room count and prep load. Cabinet painting adds 2–3 days minimum for proper cure time between coats.
We move light furniture and cover everything else. Heavy built-ins stay. We ask that the room be reasonably cleared before we start — it speeds up the job and protects your belongings.
