What does DMG interior painting include?

DMG Painting & Decorating paints interior walls, ceilings, doors, architraves, skirting boards, window frames and feature walls in homes and commercial premises across Adelaide. Wallpaper hanging and plaster repair are part of the same service, so cracked cornices, patched walls and a feature wall of paper can be handled by the one team.

Every interior job starts with preparation: furniture moved or covered, floors under drop sheets, holes filled, surfaces sanded and dusted, edges masked. Then two coats of a quality paint from Dulux, Taubmans or Wattyl, cut in by brush at the ceiling line and rolled on the flat.

How long does an interior repaint take?

A single room is usually one to two days including preparation and drying time between coats. A full interior of a three-bedroom home is typically around a week. Damien gives a start date and a finish date in the written quote, and the team works room by room so the house stays liveable while the work is on.

Which paint finish is right for interior walls?

Low sheen is the usual choice for living areas and bedrooms because it hides minor wall imperfections and wipes clean. Ceilings take a flat finish. Wet areas such as kitchens, bathrooms and laundries use a washable low sheen or satin. Doors, trims and skirting take a satin or semi-gloss enamel for durability. DMG recommends the finish per surface in the quote, and the sheen guide on this site explains the differences.

How a DMG interior painting job runs

  1. Quote

    Damien visits, looks at every surface, talks colours and finishes, and sends a written quote with scope, products, and start and finish dates. Free, no obligation.

  2. Prep

    The part you are paying for. Furniture covered, floors sheeted, edges masked. Walls washed, filled, sanded and dusted. Outside, everything is scraped back to a sound edge.

  3. Prime and cut in

    Bare patches and repairs are primed so the topcoat sits evenly. Every edge, corner and ceiling line is cut in by brush before a roller touches the wall.

  4. Two coats

    Rolled on with a wet edge so there are no lap marks, left to dry properly, then a second full coat. Two coats is the standard, not an extra.

  5. Walkthrough

    You walk the job with Damien in daylight. Anything you spot is touched up on the spot. Tape comes off, sheets come up, and the site is left clean.

Interior painting questions

Do I need to move furniture before the painters arrive?

Move small and fragile items out of the room if you can. DMG moves and covers larger furniture, and protects floors, benches and fittings with drop sheets and masking before any paint is opened.

Can you paint one room, or is there a minimum job size?

One room is fine. DMG quotes single rooms, single ceilings and touch-up jobs as readily as whole-house repaints. No job too big or too small.

Do you fix cracks and holes before painting?

Yes. Filling, sanding and plaster repair are part of the preparation on every interior job, and cornice cracks are repaired rather than painted over.
