High Rise Painting Over Balboa Park

Last Updated: June 17, 2013

Room with open doors, plastic sheeting, and masking tape, possibly under renovation.

One of our recent projects was interior painting of a high rise over looking Balboa Park. We followed a drywaller who removed wallpaper and skim-coated all the walls.

We painted all the ceilings and main walls in the master bedroom, hallway, bathroom, kitchen, dining room, living room and office. Throughout the apartment, we used about seven different colors.

For most of the main walls we used Sherwin William's ProMar® interior paint, for the bathroom we used SW Duration , and for the trim we used DE Evershield ®.

The homeowner wanted to use flat paint for all the walls and ceilings and a semi-glossy paint for the trim. Some of the walls took about 4 coats to create an even sheen. A challenge that sometimes arises when painting previously wallpaper-covered walls is that the surfaces can be uneven and require extra attention before painting.
