FAQs: What To Expect From A Washington
County Wall And Ceiling Painter

Your Basic Questions Answered
From Beginning To End


Youโ€™ve scheduled the job, picked out your colors, and now youโ€™re waiting for the wall and ceiling painting work to begin. But as the date approaches, you wonder how the process will go.

  • How long will the professional painting job take?
  • Will you be able to live in your home during renovation?
  • Should you expect your painters to communicate their progress with you?
  • Are the paint colors I chose going to work out?

At Colorwheel, we understand how significant โ€“ and stressful โ€“ home renovations can be. Weโ€™ve been serving the good people of Washington County (Milwaukee Metro) for decades.

It can feel like your lifeโ€™s being invaded. And you might feel skeptical of whoโ€˜s in your home.

Navigating your day-to-day when painters are working on the ceiling and walls can be a challenge. Fortunately, weโ€™re here to answer all your questions and give you the peace of mind of choosing a long-standing, serious painting company with a rock-solid history in the area.

Q: How Long Does Home Interior
Wall And Ceiling Painting Take?

The time it takes us to complete interior wall and ceiling painting projects depends on the job size (like how many walls or rooms you need painted), complexity (like painting trim or other pieces around things like light fixtures), and scheduling.

If you want a single accent wall painted, the job should only take a few hours, including prepping, taping edges and trim, applying paint, and cleaning. Some colors may require a separate but short second visit.

The average 12 ft. x 12 ft. room takes 5 โ€“ 6 hours to paint, adding 1 โ€“ 2 hours if you paint the ceiling. Multiply this by the number of rooms you want painted in your house for an approximate estimate of how long your particular wall and ceiling painting job will take.

Q: Are Colorwheel Painters Subs Or Employees?

To ensure our painters are experienced, know these products and materials like bonafide geeks, and are the kinds of people you can trust in your home, we only have W-2 employees. No independent contractors or subcontractors.

Trust us, it takes more than a pulse and the ability to slap a fresh coat of paint on a wall to be part of the Colorwheel team. Clean workmanship and clean straight lines are a given. We thoroughly vet our painters to ensure theyโ€™re skilled, professional, attentive, and patient.

Why is patience so important in a professional painter?

A patient painter wonโ€™t rush through a project and potentially leave less-than-stellar areas in your paint job. They wonโ€™t cut corners, and theyโ€™ll adhere to the strict standards we have for every wall and ceiling paint job in Washington County and elsewhere.

Weโ€™re known for impeccable, detail-obsessed workmanship, and that isnโ€™t changing anytime soon.

Q: Who Protects My Belongings During The Project?

Our team will thoroughly prepare each area for painting, including setting up drop cloths and protecting your furnishings with protective plastic sheets.

Weโ€™ll also do all necessary cleanup when your project is complete, leaving you to enjoy your newly painted walls and ceilings without the hassle.

Q: Will I Be Able To Live In My Home?

One of the most cumbersome aspects of interior wall and ceiling painting is having a room โ€“ or several rooms โ€“ out of commission during renovation (then they must dry completely). After all, how do you prepare dinner in a kitchen thatโ€™s being painted or sleep in a bedroom covered in plastic sheets and drop cloths?

Fortunately for Washington County homeowners, Colorwheel knows how to sequence a job in a way that usually allows you to use your spaces as much as possible. Whether doing them in phases or throwing more craftspeople at a space to ensure timely completion, we have a solution.

You can even arrange for us to come and complete the paint job while you arenโ€™t home, so you donโ€™t have to worry about it (we commonly paint for people away on vacation).

Q: What If Iโ€™m Not Fully Satisfied With My Paint Job?

If, for some reason, you arenโ€™t delighted with our results, thereโ€™s no need to worry. Every Colorwheel wall and ceiling painting job is under warranty, and weโ€™ll swiftly return to make it right at no cost to you! Again, with decades of history in Milwaukee Metro, you know weโ€™ll make good on that promise.
