Interior Painting in San Francisco and the Peninsula

Touch-up scale painting, done to match: the patched wall, the scuffed hallway, the one room that needs to be a room again — color-matched from your paint code when we have it on record.

What we paint

We paint at the scale where hourly honesty beats a padded quote: touch-ups over repairs, single walls, one or two rooms. Proper prep — filled, sanded, spot-primed, cut lines clean — and color matched from your home’s paint record or a fresh match when there isn’t one.

Larger repaints (whole interiors, full exteriors) are project territory: we’ll quote select ones separately or point you to painters we trust, and we’ll say which honestly.

How we approach it

The paint is the last ten percent; the prep is the job. We fill and sand the repair flush, spot-prime bare patches so they don’t flash through the topcoat, and cut lines by hand rather than trusting tape to do the thinking. Color comes off your home’s paint record when we have the code on file — the reason we keep one — so a touch-up disappears instead of leaving a slightly-wrong rectangle. Surfaces get protected and the room put back the way we found it.

When to book it

Book it right behind the repair that made the mark: the wall we just patched, the trim we reset, the hallway that’s taken a season of scuffs. Painting on the same visit as the fix means one setup and one clean color, not a second trip weeks later trying to remember the sheen. When it grows past a room or two, we’ll say so plainly rather than stretch an hourly job into a project.

Commonly paired with: drywall repair — patch first, then paint — and trim & casing repair when the woodwork wants refreshing too.

Scope, plainly

  • Interior painting — Touch-ups through one–two rooms. Larger repaints quoted as a project.

What this doesn't cover

The limits above are the honest line. Major remodels, permit-requiring work, and full rebuilds are project territory — we'll tell you plainly at the walk-through, and when a job needs a licensed specialty trade we coordinate vetted subs on one invoice.

Common questions

All questions →
What happens at the walk-through?

About an hour, free. We document rooms, mechanicals, appliances, measurements and paint codes to start your home's record, then plan your first visit around a real first project.

I just bought my home. Can you use my inspection report?

Yes. Bring it to the walk-through and we'll turn its findings into your to-do list.

What does the membership include?

Annual Membership is $500/yr: a documented walk-through, your list managed by us, priority scheduling, the crew at $125/hr whenever you book, 2 free hours every membership year applied to your first project, an annual Home Health Check, a direct line to your home advisor, and access to our referral network of vetted tradespeople.

What's the hourly rate, and how does crew size affect it?

$125/hr, and that covers a crew of up to 2. When safety or scope needs more hands — heavy carries, working at height — each additional tech is $55/hr, and we flag it before we book the visit, never after.
