Review Our Simple 4-Step Interior Painting Process
Step 1: Initial Consultation & Walk Through
The process begins with an on-site meeting where we will take time to understand your vision for the space, create a plan for the work, and answer any initial questions you may have. Our painting experts will assess the area to be painted, taking into account the condition of the walls and any prep work that may be needed. Based on this assessment, we will provide you with a transparent estimate so you know exactly what to expect. Need financing? We use Acorn to offer affordable payment options for our customers.
Step 2: Color Consultation
After the proposal is signed, we move to the color consultation phase. You will meet with a Certified Color Expert who has gone through extensive color training to help you choose the best colors for your space. They will use a mixture of color psychology and color theory to help meet your design goals.
Step 3: Preparation
Proper preparation is the cornerstone of an exceptional paint job. Our team takes this step seriously, ensuring that all surfaces are smooth and primed for painting. This involves:

- Covering furniture, flooring, and fixtures with drop cloths or plastic sheets to protect them from paint splatter.
- Sanding where needed.
- Patching any holes or imperfections in the walls.
Step 4: Painting and Quality Assurance
With everything prepped, it's time to bring your chosen colors to life. Our skilled painters use top-of-the-line brushes, rollers, and paint to apply even coats, paying close attention to detail to ensure the end result meets your expectations. Once the painting is complete, we conduct a thorough quality assurance check, walking you through the project to ensure you're completely satisfied with the result.
From the first consultation to the final inspection, we work diligently to make the entire process smooth and satisfying.
Types of Paint and Finishes
Acrylic Paint
- Description: Acrylic paint is a versatile, water-based paint known for its durability and quick drying time. It provides excellent coverage and is available in a wide range of colors.
- Best For: Walls, ceilings, and high-traffic areas such as hallways and family rooms.
- Benefits: Acrylic paint is low in odor and easy to clean up with soap and water. It resists fading, cracking, and peeling, making it ideal for busy households.
Latex Paint
- Description: Latex paint is another water-based option that is similar to acrylic paint but typically less expensive. It is the most commonly used paint for interior walls.
- Best For: Interior walls and ceilings.
- Benefits: Latex paint is low in VOCs (volatile organic compounds), making it a safer choice for indoor use. It is easy to apply, quick to dry, and has good coverage.
Oil-Based Paint
- Description: Oil-based paint is a solvent-based paint known for its smooth, durable finish. It takes longer to dry but provides a hard, glossy finish that is easy to clean.
- Best For: Trim, doors, and cabinetry.
- Benefits: Oil-based paint offers excellent adhesion and durability, making it ideal for surfaces that require a tough, protective coating. It is resistant to stains and easy to wipe clean, though it requires mineral spirits for cleanup.
Finishes
- Matte Finish:
- Description: Matte finish paint provides a smooth, non-reflective appearance that hides imperfections well. It has a velvety texture and is ideal for creating a soft, elegant look.
- Best For: Low-traffic areas like bedrooms and living rooms where a soft, subtle finish is desired.
- Benefits: While matte finishes are excellent at hiding surface imperfections, they can be more challenging to clean and may require touch-ups over time.
- Eggshell Finish:
- Description: Eggshell finish has a slight sheen, similar to the texture of an eggshell. It offers a smooth appearance with a bit more durability than matte finishes.
- Best For: Moderate-traffic areas like dining rooms and hallways, where a balance of appearance and practicality is needed.
- Benefits: Eggshell finishes are easier to clean than matte finishes and provide a subtle shine that enhances the look of walls without being too reflective.
- Satin Finish:
- Description: Satin finish paint has a soft sheen that creates a smooth, velvety appearance. It is more reflective than eggshell but less than semi-gloss.
- Best For: High-traffic areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, and children’s rooms where durability and ease of cleaning are important.
- Benefits: Satin finishes are durable and easy to clean, making them a practical choice for busy areas of the home. They provide a nice balance between a soft look and a cleanable surface.
- Semi-Gloss Finish:
- Description: Semi-gloss finish paint has a noticeable shine and reflects light well. It is durable and resistant to moisture and stains.
- Best For: Trim, doors, cabinetry, and areas exposed to high moisture or heavy use.
- Benefits: Semi-gloss finishes are highly durable and easy to clean, making them ideal for areas that require frequent wiping or are exposed to moisture. They highlight architectural details but can also show surface imperfections.
- Gloss Finish:
- Description: Gloss finish paint is very shiny and reflective, providing a high-gloss look that is both eye-catching and durable.
- Best For: Doors, trim, accent walls, and any surface you want to stand out with a high-shine finish.
- Benefits: Gloss finishes are extremely durable and easy to clean, making them perfect for areas that need a tough, protective coating. However, they can also highlight surface imperfections more than other finishes.

I highly recommend EK Painting! From meeting Kelly for an estimate to the finished product, everything was done in a professional manner. My two-story home with vaulted ceilings was painted on the inside…every room, walls and ceiling, and most closets. There was a lot of repair work needed, but there is no evidence to be seen now of any holes or cracks. Wallpaper was removed in powder room, and the walls look amazing. There are no ‘splatters’ to clean. The window treatments, mirrors, and other miscellaneous items were removed from walls and returned to their location. The crew was prompt each morning; and at closing time each day, materials and tools were put in an area, which was out of the way and orderly. The cost of the complete job is very reasonable. Thinking about having some painting done at your home or place of business, EK Painting would be the local company to contact.

So happy with the job EK Painting did for us. We hired them to paint the great room, kitchen, hallways and stairs and everything turned out great. They arrived on time every day, used tarps to cover floors/furniture and cleaned up at the end of the day. Kelly & Ryan are very conscientious about their work. Glad we hired them.

Exceptional work done at my busy/small Ephrata cafe which had some pretty banged up walls. Went above and beyond and did some extra requests for me which I really appreciated. Will be using them for all future painting needs.

We used EK Painting to paint the entire inside of our home, spring of 2023. When we purchased our home it really needed a refresh. Kelly was very responsive and stayed in touch with us every step of the project. They painted every room, walls, ceiling, trim, doors and railings.
We were extremely pleased with the outcome. They showed up on time each day, worked all day and were very professional. We would use them again and we
highly recommend EK Painting to anyone.

I’ve hired Kelly and EK Painting for multiple painting projects. Aside from doing a great job and being super professional, they are consistently the most affordable option for both small and large projects. I’ve recommended them to friends who have also been blown away at both the work and price.
Highly highly recommend these guys.
