Common Questions About Interior Painting

Real questions from Lake Forest and south Orange County clients.

What Can Go Wrong (and How We Handle It)

The most common complaints homeowners post about interior painting. Here is how we avoid each one.

The Problem

Paint splatter or drips on floors and furniture

How Aragon Handles It

We move and cover furniture, mask floors and fixtures, and lay drop cloths in every work area. Cleanup is part of the job, not an extra.

The Problem

Patches and repairs show through the new paint

How Aragon Handles It

We feather, sand, texture match, and spot prime every repair before the topcoat so it disappears.

The Problem

Strong paint odor makes the home unlivable for days

How Aragon Handles It

We use premium low odor interior paint and ventilate as we go, so most families stay in the home throughout the project.

The Problem

Crew thinned paint, coverage looked patchy later

How Aragon Handles It

We never thin paint outside manufacturer spec and apply two full coats. Receipts and products can be audited on request.

The Problem

Sloppy cut lines where wall meets ceiling and trim

How Aragon Handles It

We hand cut clean lines and back the work with a written workmanship warranty.
