We Treat Your Home Like Exterior Detailing for a Vehicle

Many people understand the value of professional car detailing. Before wax is ever applied, the surface is cleaned, corrected, polished, and restored. The final shine comes from the preparation.

That is the same philosophy we bring into your home.

A beautiful paint finish is not just about applying a new color. The real difference comes from how the ceilings, walls, and surfaces are prepared beforehand. Anyone can apply paint. Not everyone takes the time to restore the surfaces underneath it.

Our Interior Painting Process

1. Professional Jobsite Setup

Before work begins, we carefully prepare the home.

Protect floors and walkways
Cover furniture and belongings
Move furniture away from walls when needed
Remove switch plates and vent covers
Build dust containment barriers when required
Maintain a clean and organized workspace

2. Power Sanding with Dust-Controlled Equipment

We use professional sanding systems such as Festool drywall sanders with HEPA vacuum extraction.

This allows us to sand walls and ceilings while greatly reducing airborne dust.

Power sanding helps remove:

Surface grime
Minor roughness
Paint drips
Roller texture inconsistencies
Previous patch ridges
Raised imperfections
Rough transitions between repairs and existing surfaces

3. Detailed Surface Inspection

Once sanding begins, we inspect the ceilings and walls closely for defects such as:

Nail pops
Settlement cracks
Loose drywall tape
Loose drywall panels
Uneven framing lines
Old patch marks
Poor workmanship from previous paint jobs
Surface waves or cosmetic irregularities
Water stain damage (after source is corrected)

4. Repair & Restoration

We correct as many visible imperfections as practical before paint is applied.

Our goal is not only a new color — it is a cleaner, straighter, smoother finished appearance.

5. Priming & Finish Painting

After preparation is complete, we apply professional coatings from brands such as:

Sherwin-Williams
Benjamin Moore

We help select the proper sheen, durability level, and finish based on the room and customer goals.

Our Philosophy: 80% Preparation, 20% Painting

We believe the majority of a successful painting project happens before the paint can is even opened.

Preparation is where quality is built.

That means:

Better looking walls
Cleaner ceilings
Sharper lines
Longer-lasting finishes
More professional results

We Are Not the Right Fit for Everyone

We understand some homeowners simply want the fastest or cheapest paint job possible.

That is not our lane.

A Plus Decorating Inc. focuses on customers who value craftsmanship, detailed preparation, honesty, and long-term results. We are always working to improve and provide better service with every project.

We do not claim to be perfect. We do strive to get better every day.
