Why Choose a Lived-In Home Specialist?

Not new construction. Not flips. Real homes where real families live.

Painting a lived-in home requires a different approach than an empty house. I specialize in updating homes where families live, working around your schedule and belongings in Sewell's neighborhoods. These 1988s-era homes often need cabinet updates, trim modernization, and whole-home color refreshes—all while you stay comfortable.

Minimal Disruption

Most Sewell clients stay in their homes during the project

Careful Protection

Your floors, furniture, and belongings are thoroughly protected

Real-World Experience

Familiar with 1988s-era homes and common issues like plaster repair and wood paneling

Practical Color Consultation

Recommendations that work with your existing furniture and lighting

Whether you're updating your Sewell home's dated finishes or refreshing tired walls and trim, I approach every project as a lived-in space that deserves respect and care.

Almost entirely drywall. Popcorn ceilings are common in homes built through the late 1980s.

Cabinet Trends

The demand for painting oak kitchen cabinets is extremely high. White remains the top choice, followed by light gray and increasingly, two-tone schemes.

Trim Trends

Painting stained 1970s-80s trim white is a standard upgrade. For homes built in the 90s with already-painted trim, a fresh coat of crisp white is often needed to cover the yellowed 'builder's white'.
