What changes the price of an interior paint job?

  • Square footage and ceiling height
  • How much patching and sanding the walls need
  • Color changes, especially dark to light
  • How many doors, windows and how much trim
  • How much furniture has to be moved and protected
  • The paint product and sheen

Tall ceilings, open floor plans and accent colors push a room toward the top of its range.

What's included in a Cooley Brothers interior repaint?

Every interior follows the same prep-first sequence, and your estimate lists each step in writing:

  1. Walk and written scope. We walk the rooms with you, measure them, and write down every prep step, repair and product.
  2. Protect your home. Furniture is moved and covered, floors are protected, and plastic and tape keep dust where it belongs.
  3. Patch and sand. Holes and cracks are patched and sanded smooth; bigger damage is handled by our drywall repair crew.
  4. Caulk and prime. Gaps in trim are caulked, and patched or bare areas are primed so the finish coat looks even.
  5. Finish coats and daily clean-up. One crew leader stays with your job, and the rooms are cleaned up at the end of every day.
  6. Walkthrough and warranty. We walk the finished rooms with you, complete the touch-ups, and back the work with a written warranty.

"They had to take special care as we had just installed new hardwood floors. Furniture and doorways were taped and covered. They were meticulous in their patching and painting work."

— Larry S., Torrance, whole interior, Aug 2023

Can we live at home while you paint inside?

Yes. Most of our customers live at home during the job. Floors and furniture are covered, one crew leader stays with your project, and the crew cleans up at the end of every day so you can use your home in the evening.

"Not only was the work perfect, but they also put all the appliances, TVs, stereo equipment back exactly as before they started."

— Joseph N., whole interior, Mar 2025

Do you paint just one room?

Yes. Small jobs are welcome, from a single bathroom or bedroom to baseboards, door frames or a front door. Many projects are done in phases.

"We hired Cooley Brothers do touch ups on all the door frames in the house where the carpet level was higher than the newly refinished wood floors and also paint the baseboards."

— Kristen B., Gardena and Carson area, Mar 2023

How do I choose interior colors and sheens?

Our crew leaders help you narrow it down, and we can paint large samples on your walls so you see them in your own light before you commit. For sheen, see our guides to sheens for high-traffic rooms and choosing a sheen room by room.

What warranty comes with an interior repaint?

We offer 2-year and 5-year workmanship warranty options, depending on the project and the option you choose. The terms that apply are written into your estimate. Every job ends with a walkthrough and touch-ups before the crew leaves; if something shows up later, call (310) 378-4575 and we'll schedule a visit. Read more about our warranty options.

"Carlos came back for walkthrough the touch ups, and took care of everything. There were no issues with paint on the floors."

— Larry S., Torrance, Aug 2023

"In 2017 Cooley Brothers painted the interior of our house before we moved in. 7 years later, it looks almost as fresh now as it did then."

— Bill A., Redondo Beach, Mar 2024
