Interior Projects

Design trends change. Not too long ago, wallpaper was the dominant wall covering. Today it’s paint. Choosing a paint color and finish for your home can be a daunting task. The Barnstable Painter makes this easy for you by providing in-home color design consultants. They will assess the types of lighting present in each space, determine the amount of traffic and intensity of use (hi or lo), and get a feel for your vision and taste level, room by room. If you have special furniture pieces or artwork you want to match or complement, The Barnstable Painter will go the extra mile to assure a perfect color match. Your imagination determines the colors we use, and we will create the perfect colors to fulfill your dreams.

Once you and the designer have decided on the colors and finishes (matte, flat, semi/high-gloss, or eggshell) The Barnstable Painter will provide you with a quote within two days of your intent to proceed. Our quote will include a description of complete preparation of your walls and ceilings (and floors, if requested), along with any special requests you have, such as the movement and protection of furniture, electrical fixtures, and large pieces of artwork. It will also contain an estimated start and completion date. The Barnstable Painter requests a ten percent deposit when you sign the contract. We also request forty percent of the remaining balance when we begin the project and the remaining balance due when you are completely satisfied that your project is done to your exact specifications.

It is customary for us to take photos of the interior of each and every room, art display and antique placement so that when we are finished with a space, we will replace each item exactly the way we found it. Have no fear, out of respect for your privacy, The Barnstable Painter destroys all photos when your project is complete. We ask that the customer remove all breakables from a room before we begin.
