Homeowners across Wilkes-Barre ask us these questions all the time. Here’s what you need to know before picking up a brush—or hiring a pro.

Painting your home is one of the easiest ways to refresh your space, but it can come with a lot of questions—especially in older homes found throughout Wilkes-Barre. Whether you’re wondering about paint types or prep work, you’re not alone. Here are the top five questions we hear most often from our local clients.

Question #1  How long will the job take?

It depends on the size of the space and the amount of prep work needed. For a standard 2-3 room interior job, it usually takes 2–4 days. Older Wilkes-Barre homes may need extra prep time due to aged surfaces or previous paint layers.

Question #2  Do I need to move all my furniture?

No need to clear out everything. We’ll carefully move large furniture to the center of the room and fully cover it with plastic. Smaller items and valuables should be removed ahead of time, but we’ll handle the heavy lifting.

Question #3 What kind of paint do you use?

We use high-quality, low-VOC paints that are safe for indoor use and built to last. In Wilkes-Barre’s changing climate, we prefer paints that resist moisture and fading—especially in older plaster or drywall homes.

Question #4  Will there be a strong smell?

We use modern low-odor paints that minimize fumes. Most clients are surprised how little it smells. With proper ventilation, your home will feel fresh and breathable even while we work.

Question #5  Can I stay in the house while you’re working?

Absolutely. We work room by room and keep worksites tidy, so you can go about your day. If needed, we’ll schedule around your routines—especially in homes with kids, pets, or remote workers.
