Interior Painting Services in Washington, DC, Maryland & Virginia
Rent Painters provides professional interior painting services across Washington, DC, Maryland and Virginia. Since 2010 we've painted bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms and whole-home interiors throughout the DC metro, including older rowhouses with plaster walls that need a careful hand. Every interior job comes with a 3-year warranty and $2 million in general liability coverage, and you can price most projects online in minutes.
Rooms and surfaces we paint
A smooth new-build wall and a cracked plaster ceiling in a 1920s rowhouse are two different jobs, and we treat them that way:
- Bedrooms: calm, low-sheen finishes that hide minor wall imperfections
- Kitchens: durable, washable paint that stands up to heat, grease and cleaning (ask about refinishing your cabinets too)
- Bathrooms: moisture-resistant finishes that resist mildew
- Living and dining rooms: even coverage across large, high-traffic walls
- Ceilings: flat finishes that reduce glare and hide roller marks
- Trim, baseboards, crown molding and doors: crisp lines where wall meets woodwork
- Accent walls: one bold wall to anchor a room without repainting everything
Before any color goes on, we repair plaster and drywall, handle wallpaper removal, and caulk trim and windows.
Choosing the right paint and finish
The finish matters as much as the color. Flat and matte hide wall flaws but are harder to clean. Eggshell and satin wipe down easily and suit most living spaces. Semi-gloss holds up on trim, doors and bathrooms. We'll walk you through which sheen fits each room.
For families, kids and anyone sensitive to fumes, low-VOC and zero-VOC paints cut odors and let you use the room sooner.
Interior house painting done right
The difference between a DIY weekend and a professional finish is in the prep: clean lines at the ceiling, no roller marks, no paint on the trim, and walls that are actually repaired before they're painted.
Done properly, interior walls typically hold up 3 to 7 years, ceilings 7 to 10, and trim 2 to 4 before they need refreshing.
Our interior painting process
- Instant or walkthrough quote: price your job online with our calculator, or contact us for an in-home estimate.
- Prep and protection: we move and cover your furniture, protect floors, and repair plaster or drywall.
- Priming: damaged spots, patches and bare drywall are primed so the topcoat goes on evenly.
- Painting: two coats, clean edges and careful cutting-in around trim, ceilings and fixtures.
- Cleanup and inspection: we put everything back and walk the finished job with you.
You don't need to move furniture yourself, and you don't need to be home while we work.
