Walls That Look Finished and Clean

Interior painting services for homes and businesses throughout Peosta, Dubuque, and all surrounding areas.

Your walls show wear from years of use, scuffs along hallways, faded color near windows, and uneven patches where pictures used to hang. Delaney Painting handles full interior painting for homes and commercial spaces in Peosta, Dubuque, and all surrounding areas, covering walls and ceilings with careful prep and clean application that brings each room back to a finished state.

The work starts with patching holes and cracks, sanding rough spots, and protecting floors, furniture, and fixtures before any paint goes on. You get crisp cut lines around trim, doors, and ceiling edges, with low-odor paint options available if your home or office stays occupied during the project. This service works well for remodels, move-in updates, and full home refreshes where you want brighter rooms and better resale appeal.

What Happens During the Painting Process

You see the crew arrive with drop cloths, painter's tape, putty knives, sanders, and paint trays ready to prep each surface before the first coat goes on. They fill nail holes, smooth seams, and sand down rough texture so the walls accept paint evenly without showing prior damage or imperfections.

Once the work is done, you walk into rooms with uniform color, no roller marks, and clean edges where the wall meets the ceiling or trim. The space looks brighter, the walls feel smooth to the touch, and scuffs or stains that stood out before are completely gone.

The crew uses low-odor paints and keeps furniture covered until the final coat dries. They clean up tape residue, wipe down baseboards, and remove all materials before they leave. This service does not include wallpaper removal or exterior work, but it sets up your interior for years of clean appearance and easier maintenance.

Questions You Might Have Before We Start

Homeowners and business owners in Peosta, Dubuque, and surrounding areas often ask about timing, prep work, and what to do with furniture before the crew arrives, so here are answers to the most common concerns.

How long does interior painting take for a typical room?
Most single rooms take one to two days including prep, priming, and two finish coats. Larger spaces or homes with multiple rooms will take longer depending on the amount of patching and detail work required.
What should I do with furniture before you start?
You can move smaller items out of the room or push furniture toward the center. The crew will cover what remains with drop cloths and plastic sheeting to protect it from paint and dust.
Why does the wall need patching before painting?
Holes, cracks, and uneven texture show through fresh paint if they are not filled and sanded first. Proper surface prep creates a smooth base that hides prior damage and helps the new color look uniform across the entire wall.
What are low-odor paints and when should I use them?
Low-odor paints release fewer fumes during application and drying, which makes them safer and more comfortable for occupied homes, offices, or spaces with limited ventilation. You can remain in the building while the work is done without strong chemical smells.
How soon can I hang pictures or move furniture back?
Walls are dry to the touch within a few hours, but you should wait at least 24 hours before placing anything against them. Full cure takes about two weeks, so avoid scrubbing or hanging heavy items until then.
