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
Great people. Showed up early and stayed late to get the job done. Work was excellent. Price was the best i found after four quotes. Would definitely use this company again.
We hired Rainwood Construction LLC to replace our French doors, and the result was outstanding. We knew going in this was more involved than a standard swap — we switched from inward to outward swinging doors, requiring extra attention to framing, flashing, and weatherproofing to keep everything sealed against water intrusion.Anatoliy was our point of contact and led the project from before to after, making sure the swing change and weatherproofing were planned and executed correctly. Igor and Vitaly handled the on-site installation and did excellent, high-quality work. The whole team was on time, professional, and delivered top-notch results. Can’t recommend them highly enough. 5 stars!
Every member of this crew I've had the pleasure of coming in contact with has been professional, excellent in their skillset, and fast. Pricing was reasonable for the excellent job they did.Last year we hired Rainwood to do plumbing and painting for a job. Both crews did such a great job, were thorough, and the level of detail was fantastic!We liked them so much we recently hired them for a quick job (installing ceiling fans). We messaged on a Wednesday and the job was done by Friday.Will absolutely hire Rainwood again and again for every job we do for our home.
Working with Rainwood Constructions on our house remodel was an excellent experience from start to finish. Their contractors were highly professional, skilled, and attentive to detail, and the quality of their work exceeded our expectations. The team communicated clearly throughout the project and ensured everything was completed on time without compromising quality. We’re extremely happy with the results and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a home remodel.
We had a very good experience with Rainwood Construction LLC and Toli during my brother’s home construction project in Shoreline. The team was professional, communicative, and paid close attention to detail throughout the process. We were especially happy with the quality of the fittings and finishing work, which turned out really well. The project was handled smoothly, and the overall workmanship met our expectations. Would definitely recommend them to others looking for reliable construction services.
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.

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.
