Transforming a New Home: Interior Painting of Living Areas, Bedrooms, and Front Door in San Antonio, Texas

Art Vandelay Painting recently completed a residential interior painting project for the Villela family in San Antonio, Texas. With their new home freshly purchased, the family wanted a refreshed and personalized look before fully moving in. Our team was thrilled to help transform their space with beautiful colors and finishes that reflected their style.

The project spanned five days and covered several key areas of the home, including:

1. Living Room
2. Entryway and Upper Loft Area
3. Three Bedrooms
4. Guest Restroom
5. Exterior Side of the Front Door

We used premium Sherwin-Williams Duration paints to ensure long-lasting beauty and durability. The results were stunning, and the Villela family was delighted with their updated living space.

We approached the Villela family’s project with a clear plan to ensure efficiency and high-quality results:

Preparation:

• Covered all furniture and flooring with protective materials.
• Filled minor cracks and holes in walls for a smooth finish.
• Sanded and primed surfaces as needed.

Color Scheme:

• Tricorn Black (SW 6258): Applied in a satin sheen to select walls for a bold, sophisticated accent.
• Snowbound (SW 7004): Used throughout the home for a clean and timeless look.
• Pure White (Semi-Gloss): Painted on trims for a crisp, polished effect.

Execution:

• Focused on the living room, entryway, and upper loft to create a welcoming ambiance.
• Painted three bedrooms and the guest restroom with precision.
• Enhanced the exterior side of the front door for added curb appeal.

Finishing Touches:

• Inspected all areas for flawless detailing.
• Cleaned up thoroughly, leaving the home move-in ready.

We follow a comprehensive approach to ensure long-lasting and flawless results:

1. Preparation:

Pressure Washing

• Removed dirt, grime, and loose paint to expose the true condition of the metal.

Sanding

• Hand-sanded every inch of the fence to smooth the surface and prepare it for paint adhesion.
• Focused extra effort on rusted areas.

Surface Protection

• Carefully covered surrounding areas with paper, plastic, and tape to prevent overspray.
• Consulted neighbors and wrapped nearby vehicles in clear plastic (with permission) for added professionalism and precaution.

2. Rust Treatment:

• Applied Ready-Strip Rust Remover to affected areas.
• Ensured all rust was thoroughly removed to prevent future issues.

3. Painting Application:

• First Coat: Applied the first layer of Direct-to-Metal (DTM) paint using a sprayer for a smooth and even finish.
• Second Coat: Added a second layer to enhance durability and ensure full coverage.

4. Final Touches:

• Conducted a thorough inspection to guarantee every inch of the fence met our quality standards.
• Cleaned up the site to leave no trace of the project except the stunning, refreshed fence.

Arnulfo Villela, the homeowner, had just purchased this property and was eager to make it feel like home before moving in. He envisioned a space that was modern, stylish, and reflective of his family’s personality.

After finding Art Vandelay Painting on Google, Arnulfo reached out for a consultation. During our initial visit, he emphasized the importance of creating a bright, open feel while incorporating bold accents. We worked closely with him to select the perfect color palette, balancing timeless elegance with contemporary charm.

One challenge during the project was coordinating around ongoing furniture deliveries. Our team adapted seamlessly, working around the family’s schedule to ensure everything was completed on time without compromising quality.

Though Arnulfo has yet to leave a formal review, he expressed his gratitude for our work and told us, “You deserve five stars!”
