House painting in Orlando
New Ceilings paints ceilings, walls, trim and home exteriors across Orlando and Central Florida. Because we're drywall and ceiling specialists, the surface gets repaired and prepped properly before any paint goes on, so dents, patches and old repairs don't show through the new color. We paint with Sherwin-Williams paint, and every job is priced upfront in a free written quote.
Ceiling painting
Ceilings are our specialty. We repaint smooth and textured ceilings, including knockdown and popcorn, without flattening or loosening the texture. If the ceiling has cracks, stains or old patches, we repair and match the texture first so the fresh coat looks even. Read how we approach painting ceilings after popcorn removal, or see drywall and ceiling repair.
Interior painting
Walls, trim, doors and whole rooms. Floors and furniture are covered, nail holes and dings are patched and sanded with dust-free tools, and edges are cut in by hand for clean lines between walls, ceilings and trim. Our article on how professionals prepare for interior painting walks through the prep.
Exterior painting
Florida sun, rain and humidity are hard on exterior paint. Loose and failing paint is scraped and sanded, cracks and holes are patched and sealed, and bare areas are primed before the finish coats go on. See how we prepare your home's exterior for the details.
