  • Touchup damages. Damage to painted interior walls is typical but can become an eyesore if left unfixed. To fix minor imperfections, like scratches or scuffs, keep some paint from your interior paint job to use for touching up any future blemishes imperfections.

 

Long Live Your Interior Paint!

The lifespan of an interior painting project is highly dependant on the quality of the painting job itself. If an interior space has been painted using high standards, like those used by professionals at Moloney Painting, the results will last decidedly longer than if lower standards and products are used. Once the interior painting job is done, regular maintenance is all that is required to keep that fresh paint look lasting for a long time!
