FAQs
Do professional painters move furniture before painting?
Yes, our crews move and cover furniture as part of standard prep. We shift larger pieces to the center of the room, protect them with drop cloths, and return everything once the paint has cured.
How many coats of paint do you need?
Two coats is the standard for even color and durable coverage. Dramatic color changes, bare surfaces, or deep-to-light transitions may call for a primer coat and two finish coats for a flawless result.
How long does it take to paint the interior of a house?
A single room usually takes one to two days, while a full home interior often runs three to five days. Size, prep needs, and the number of colors all affect the overall timeline.
How should I prepare my home before the painters arrive?
Clear small items, valuables, and wall hangings from the work area. Our team at Carnival Custom Painting handles the heavier prep, from moving furniture and covering floors to patching and sanding surfaces.
Are your painters licensed and insured?
Yes, Carnival Custom Painting is fully insured and operates as a locally owned, woman- and veteran-owned company in Houston, Texas. Every project is also backed by a written three-year workmanship warranty for your peace of mind.
What is the difference between interior and exterior paint?
Interior paint prioritizes washability and low odor, while exterior paint contains additives that resist UV rays, moisture, and mildew. Using each where it belongs keeps surfaces looking better for far longer.
