Interior Paint
The Paintress

What I Offer

INTERIOR WALL PAINTING*: My main service. Pricing is based on wall measurements. $250 minimum. Example: Walls in a 10′ × 10′ room with 8′ ceilings: $577.60

LINE TOUCHUPS: For painted rooms with messy lines that bug you. $75/hr • High ceilings: $100/hr

COLOR MATCHING SERVICE**: You hire me as a wall color detective. I investigate the clues, decode the true identity of your mystery wall color, formulate its match, and test it in an inconspicuous area to make sure it behaves as expected. $175 minimum (includes first wall color) • Additional wall colors: $95 each • Ceiling colors: $45 each • Paint billed at cost.

A Note on Materials:

I believe people deserve to know they have choices when it comes to the paints used in their homes. What began as a personal curiosity about cradle-to-cradle and lower-toxicity building materials gradually became part of The Paintress. I continually explore paint options beyond the mainstream brands most of us grew up around.

"Wow! We hired Sara to paint our sunroom Plus all window trim for new windows. She is a perfectionist! Her work is flawless. She’s coming back next week for a smaller job. Her rates are beyond reasonable and she’s a delight to have in our home. You can’t go wrong with The Paintress."

"...after reading other recommendations about her work, I decided to contact Sara The Paintress for our whole house...Her attention to detail far exceeded our expectations. She prepped our home and belongings with plastic, tarps and floor coverings. The article I read was spot on, WOW! Sara does all the work by herself from start to finish. We really appreciated that at the end of the project she asked us to do a final walkthrough with her to make sure we were completely satisfied with the job. We would highly recommend Sara The Paintress without hesitation, you won’t be disappointed."

"Perfect!! She is the most detailed painter I have ever had paint for me. She made sure everything was just as I asked. She requested before she finished that I go over anything/everything and let her know if she needed to touch up anything. Patient, detailed, trustworthy and I will call her anytime I need a painter. Thank you Sara"

Sara did a phenomenal job painting my kitchen. She is organized, communicative, and super easy to work with. She has immaculate clean lines, and went out of her way to procure some white ceiling paint to also touch up the previous painter mistakes on the ceiling for me. I am very happy and the price was an excellent value.

What Makes The Paintress Different?

Respect for Your Home

Your home is treated with care, cleanliness, and control at every stage. I work carefully in finished interiors and maintain a protected, organized workspace, leaving everything tidy at the end of each day with minimal disruption throughout the project.

Small Projects Welcome

I take on projects of all sizes, including single walls, rooms, and detailed work. Every project receives the same level of precision and care, regardless of scope.

Owner-Operated

You work directly with me from start to finish. I handle every aspect of your project, from planning and execution to the final details, so nothing gets lost in translation. The result is clear communication, consistent quality, and a project that stays aligned with your goals every step of the way.

* Wall Painting only. Cleaning and wall repairs are additional. ** 1) For specialty paints that require ordering, the timeline may be longer while the paint arrives, but the pricing remains the same. 2) While no color matching method can guarantee a perfect invisible match due to factors like age, sheen, fading, and lighting, my process is designed to achieve the closest practical match.
