PROFESSIONAL INTERIOR PAINTING
IN THE DMV AREA

DMV homes — from Silver Spring condos and Arlington townhouses to Bethesda colonials — all have one thing in common: interior paint takes a beating. Scuffs from kids and pets, water stains from old leaks, nail holes from rearranged art, and faded accent walls that no longer match updated furniture. When clients call us, they're not just looking for color on a wall — they need a transformation that holds up for years.

At 5 Star Pros, we treat prep work as the most important step. That means filling every hole, sanding every rough patch, caulking gaps around trim, and applying a quality primer before we ever crack open a gallon of finish coat. We use Sherwin-Williams Emerald and Benjamin Moore Aura for interior walls — both low-VOC, washable, and built to last. Every room gets two full coats, and we cut in by hand for crisp, clean lines that rollers alone can't deliver.

Our crews have painted hundreds of homes across DC, Maryland, and Virginia. We move on your schedule, protect your floors and furniture with professional drop cloths, and leave the space cleaner than we found it. Every job comes with a satisfaction guarantee — if a touch-up is needed within 30 days, we come back at no charge. That's the 5 Star standard.

How It Works

OUR PROCESS

Free Color Consultation

We visit your home, assess surface conditions, discuss your color goals, and recommend the right paint products for each room. No pressure, no charge.

Prep & Prime

We protect floors and furniture, fill holes, sand surfaces, caulk gaps, and prime any problem areas. This step is what separates a lasting paint job from one that peels within a year.

Paint & Perfect

Two coats of premium paint applied with professional rollers and hand-cut brushwork. We maintain a wet edge to eliminate lap marks and let each coat fully cure before the next.

Final Walkthrough

We only wrap up when you're 100% satisfied with every detail. Touch-ups happen on the spot before we pack up.

Common Questions

INTERIOR PAINTING FAQ

How long does interior painting take?+

A single room typically takes one day. A full floor or multiple rooms usually takes 2–3 days. A whole-house paint job can take 4–7 days depending on the size, number of coats, and the extent of prep work needed. We'll give you a precise timeline during your free quote.

Do I need to move my furniture before painting?+

We ask that you remove small decor items and valuables. Our crew will move larger furniture to the center of the room, cover everything with professional drop cloths, and return it when we're done. You don't need to empty the room.

What paint brands do you use?+

We use Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore exclusively — both trusted professional-grade brands with excellent coverage and washability. We can also apply paint you've already purchased. During your consultation we'll recommend the right sheen (flat, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss) for each surface and traffic level.

Do you paint ceilings and trim?+

Absolutely. Ceilings, baseboards, crown molding, window trim, and door frames are all part of our standard scope. Clean, crisp trim lines are one of the details that set a professional paint job apart from a DIY one. Just let us know during the quote if you'd like trim in a contrasting color.
