How Long Will My Mt Pleasant SC Interior Paint Job Last?

This is an important question that I’m asked by customers all the time. The truth is that there isn’t a set amount of time that it’ll last. Your interior paint longevity can range from 1yr to 25yrs, it can depend on a bunch of different factors

Factors That Will Impact Your Interior Paint

• Young Children and Dirty Hands
• Pets
• Long Steamy Showers
• Grease and Steam from Cooking
• Moving in and out furniture

There can also be factors that are out of your control which may impact your Mount Pleasant interior paint, such as structural movement that might cause cracks or nail pops.

Ways We Can Help Make Your Interior Paint Last Longer

There are a couple things that can be done to make your interior paint last longer. The most important thing is to use a high-quality paint. When painting your interior the cost of paint is not where most of the cost is incurred. Labor is the most expensive part of the job so using cheap paint while paying for labor is not cost effective.

Using a durable sheen in high traffic areas is also important. Hallways, kitchen, and bathrooms should have a satin or eggshell finish which is a harder than flat and easier to clean. Bedrooms can also be painted with eggshell or satin but if you like a flat finish only good quality flats should be used.

Having proper ventilation in steamy bathrooms or opening a window after showering will make the paint last longer in bathrooms.

Proper prep prior to painting is a biggie. If the paint hasn’t adhered properly to the surface due to poor prep the paint job will not last long.
