Our Drywall Painting and Priming Services

We focus on preparing drywall surfaces meticulously to ensure paint adheres perfectly and lasts longer. Our services extend to both residential and commercial projects, using high-quality primers and paints tailored to each environment.

Comprehensive Surface Preparation

We start every project by thoroughly inspecting the drywall for imperfections like dents, holes, or uneven textures. Repairing and sanding these areas creates a smooth, clean base. This preparation is crucial because it prevents peeling and uneven paint coverage later.



Before priming, we clean surfaces to remove dust and debris that might interfere with adhesion. In some cases, we apply a specialized drywall primer to seal porous surfaces, which helps the paint hold better and reduces the number of coats needed. This step improves durability and finish quality.

Residential and Commercial Solutions

Our drywall painting and priming services accommodate homes and commercial buildings with different needs. For residential spaces, we prioritize quick drying times and low-odor products to minimize disruption. We pay special attention to common wear areas such as hallways and living rooms.



In commercial projects, we focus on durability and compliance with industry standards. High-traffic areas and offices often require tougher finishes and primers that resist stains and moisture. We adapt our approach based on the building's function, size, and required turnaround time, ensuring professional results every time.

High-Quality Paint and Primer Selection

We use only premium paints and primers that meet performance standards for adhesion, coverage, and longevity. Our primer choices include stain-blocking and moisture-resistant formulas depending on the drywall condition and room environment.



Our paint products range from matte to semi-gloss finishes, selected to suit the room’s use and lighting. These materials provide consistent color, resist peeling, and clean easily. Using the right primer and paint combination prevents common issues like bubbling and chipping.

Finish Options and Color Consultation

We guide clients through selecting finishes that balance aesthetics and durability. Matte and eggshell finishes limit glare and hide imperfections, ideal for most living spaces. Semi-gloss and satin options are better for kitchens and bathrooms due to their moisture resistance and ease of cleaning.



Our color consultation helps clients choose shades that complement architectural elements and lighting while matching their personal style. We consider factors like natural light, room purpose, and existing décor to recommend color palettes that enhance space without overwhelming it.

Our Drywall Painting and Priming Process

We follow a detailed, step-by-step approach to ensure every drywall surface receives a durable, smooth, and professional finish. From initial inspection to final cleanup, precision and quality are our priorities to meet your expectations.

1. On-Site Assessment and Quotation

Our process begins with a thorough on-site evaluation of your drywall surfaces. We inspect for imperfections such as cracks, holes, or uneven textures that may affect paint adhesion and finish quality.



After assessing the condition, we provide a precise quotation outlining the scope of work, materials required, and projected timeline. This transparency ensures you understand the costs and steps involved before work begins.

2. Surface Repairs and Sanding

We address all drywall defects as the next critical step. Our team fills holes, cracks, and any surface irregularities using appropriate patching compounds.



Once repairs dry, we perform careful sanding to create a uniform and smooth surface. This step is vital for ensuring primer and paint adhere correctly and the final finish looks flawless.

3. Priming Techniques

Choosing the right primer depends on wall condition and environmental factors. We select between water-based or oil-based primers to optimize adhesion and durability.



Applying primer evenly is critical. Our team uses professional tools to cover all surfaces, including corners and edges, ensuring full coverage. Proper priming reduces paint absorption inconsistencies and enhances the lifespan of the paint job.

4. Final Walkthrough and Cleanup

After painting, we conduct a detailed walkthrough with you to confirm all work meets our standards and your expectations. We check for missed spots or uneven areas and address them immediately.



Cleanup is thorough. We remove all debris, tools, and protective coverings, leaving your space clean and ready for use. Our attention to detail extends through the entire project timeline, ensuring a hassle-free experience.

Frequently Asked Questions on Drywall Painting and Priming


  • How much does drywall painting and priming cost per room?

    Drywall painting and priming typically costs between $300 to $800 per room, depending on room size, ceiling height, and paint quality chosen. Standard bedrooms fall on the lower end, while larger rooms or those requiring premium paints cost more. The price includes primer application, two coats of paint, trim work, and complete cleanup to deliver a professional finished room.

  • What's the average cost to prime and paint new drywall?

    New drywall priming and painting averages $2.50 to $4.50 per square foot, including materials and labor. A typical room ranges from $400 to $1,000 depending on size and specifications. New drywall requires special primer and often additional coats to achieve uniform coverage, which is included in our pricing along with professional application techniques that ensure lasting results.

  • How long does drywall priming and painting take to complete?

    Drywall priming and painting typically takes 2-3 days for a standard room, including proper drying time between coats. Day one involves primer application, day two covers the first paint coat, and day three completes the final coat and touch-ups. Weather conditions and humidity can affect drying times, so we always ensure each coat is completely dry before proceeding.

  • What type of primer is best for new drywall?

    High-quality drywall primer-sealer is best for new drywall, as it seals the porous surface and provides uniform paint adhesion. We recommend PVA (polyvinyl acetate) primer for standard applications or high-build primer for textured surfaces. These primers prevent the drywall from absorbing paint unevenly, reduce the number of paint coats needed, and ensure professional-looking results that last longer.
