Interior painting for
lived-in homes
We paint homes and businesses across Dallas-Fort Worth, and most of them are full of furniture. We cover the larger pieces, move the smaller ones, and paint by brush and roller so there’s no overspray. Ron Robinson is on every job, and on the last day we do a full cleanup.
What’s included
Pick any combination. Your estimate covers exactly what you choose.
Walls
We paint one room or the whole house, in your current color or a new one. Going from dark to light usually takes an extra coat, and we include that in your estimate.
Ceilings
New paint on the walls makes an old ceiling stand out. If yours is stained, yellowed, or marked, add it to the job.
Doors & trim
Baseboards, door frames, and doors take the most wear. Repainting them makes the whole room look finished.
Drywall repair
We patch nail holes, dents, and damaged spots and sand them smooth, so they don’t show through the new paint.
Kitchen cabinets
We refinish dated cabinets in a new color, for far less than replacing them.
Wallpaper & texture removal
We strip old wallpaper and remove heavy wall texture, leaving smooth walls ready for paint.

From customers
Ideal Painting & Make Ready did an awesome job! They painted 5 rooms, base boards, crown molding and 2 hallways in my home. They were on time, neat, and cleaned up their mess after each days work. They left no paint “splashes” anywhere. Their attention to detail was extraordinary. The team was very attentive and returned all calls promptly. Customer service was excellent, no hidden charges or up-sells. I will definitely use Ideal on my next job and would highly recommend them to anyone that needs painting!
Ron was prompt and professional, he took extra time to make sure that I 100% understood the process before starting. The cabinets turned out great and I would recommend him for any other painting needs!
Did a great job painting 2 sets of new closet doors. This included a brand new set of doors that needed caulking and a couple of barn doors that had to be taken down to be painted. Quality work, on time, and fast!
Common questions
How much does interior painting cost?
It depends on how much is being painted and what shape it’s in. Repairs, color changes, ceilings, doors, and cabinets all add work. List everything you want, and the estimate covers the whole job. Once measurements are confirmed, that’s the price.
Do I need to move everything out?
No. We cover larger furniture and move smaller items for you. We clean up as we go, and on the last day we do a full cleanup.
Do you use a paint sprayer?
No. We paint by brush and roller. It lasts longer than a sprayed finish, and there’s no overspray or cleanup mess inside your home.
Can you fix holes and damaged drywall first?
Yes. Drywall repair is part of the job, so patches are done and smoothed before the paint goes on.
Are estimates free?
Yes. Send what you can, including rough measurements. We verify measurements during an on-site visit, and once they’re confirmed, the price on your estimate is the price we charge.
Which areas do you serve?
We’re based in Mesquite and serve Dallas-Fort Worth, including Dallas, Garland, Balch Springs, Plano, Richardson, Murphy, Arlington, Cedar Hill, Sunnyvale, and Fate.
