Living in a half-finished house is exhausting.

Most interior paint jobs drag on. The plastic stays up, the furniture stays moved, the smell never quite goes away. You start to wonder if it was worth bringing a painter in at all. The other path: a painter who treats your house like he's the one living in it. Drop cloths every day, surfaces protected, rooms back in service the same evening I finish them.

Your home treated with respect, guaranteed.

I know it's hard to invite a painter into your house. The last one tracked dust everywhere or pushed back on color choices you'd already made. That's not how I work.

I run Nappi's Painting out of Raymond, Maine, with a trusted crew of local Maine painters I hire and train myself. No out-of-state hires, no rotating subs. I'm direct contact on every project and on site through the job.

I don't swap crews.

Sam prepping a room for interior paint

Your simple path to a finished interior.

  1. Get an estimate

    We walk the rooms together so I understand the colors, the sheen, and the rooms you actually use the most. Then I write the estimate myself, in my own words. Not a template. Not ChatGPT.

  2. We do the work

    Furniture moved, floors covered, cut lines clean. Most rooms back in service the same evening.

    Greater Portland homes run the gamut: 1900s farmhouses in Falmouth and Cumberland, mid-century capes in South Portland, and newer builds out in Windham and Raymond. The prep changes based on what's behind the paint already (oil, latex, milk paint, drywall, old plaster), and a careful walkthrough catches that on day one.

  3. Final walkthrough

    You sign off room by room. If something isn't right, I fix it then.

A finished living room ready for life to resume

Get an interior you actually want to come home to.

Putting it off another year means more years of looking at dingy walls, scuffed trim, and colors that don't match how you live now. Or you can come home to a house that feels like yours again, finished without disrupting your life.

A lot of the same homes that want a fresh interior also want cabinet refinishing. See all the painting services Nappi's offers across Greater Portland.

Questions about interior painting

How much does interior house painting cost in the Greater Portland area?

Interior house painting cost in the Greater Portland area depends on the size of the room, how much prep the walls need, and what's already on them. A small bedroom is a different job than a high-ceiling living room with crown molding and three coats to cover a dark color. I write every estimate myself after walking the space with you in Portland, Falmouth, Scarborough, or wherever you are, so you get a real number, not a calculator guess.

How long does it take to paint the inside of a house?

How long it takes to paint the inside of a house depends on room count, prep, and how many coats. A single bedroom is usually a day. A few rooms together can run two to four days. A whole-house interior with trim and ceilings is typically one to two weeks with my crew. I give you a real schedule when I write the estimate, and I stay in touch through the job so you know what's happening each day.

Do I need to move furniture and prep the room before you start?

You don't need to fully prep the room before I start. I move and cover larger furniture, mask trim and floors, patch nail holes, and handle the wall prep that makes the paint actually last. What helps is if you clear small stuff off shelves and dressers (lamps, photos, anything breakable) so my crew isn't working around it. If something's too heavy for you to move, leave it. We'll handle it.

How many coats of paint do you put on interior walls?

I put two coats of paint on interior walls as a standard. That's what the paint manufacturers spec for warranty coverage and it's what gives you an even finish that holds up. A few situations call for three: big color changes (covering a deep red or navy), bare drywall or patched areas, or walls in rough shape. I'll tell you up front in the estimate if your job needs a third coat, not surprise you with it later.

Are you insured, and do you stand behind your work?

Yes, I'm fully insured, and I back every interior painting job with a one-year warranty on the workmanship. If something I painted peels, cracks, or fails inside that year because of how it was applied, I come back and make it right. I'm Sam Nappi, I own Nappi's Painting out of Raymond, Maine, and I'm on every job site. You're not going to call and get a stranger.
