- Notes on exemptions and triggers
- The FAQ lists slightly varying shed thresholds (e.g., < 120 sq ft in one place); the dedicated permit guide (200 sq ft) is the more specific reference.
- Code reference

What interior painting covers
Interior painting in the Denver metro includes walls, ceilings, and trim with prep such as patching, sanding, and priming. Protection of floors and fixtures is part of a clean job. A municipally licensed Denver general contractor coordinates painting packages and related trades when repairs beyond finish work appear. Cost is project-specific and depends on room count, prep condition, and coat requirements.

Prep quality
Durability tracks prep: cleaning, de-glossing, stain blocking, and priming bare areas. Color changes over dark bases may need extra coats.

What buyers should prepare
Rooms in scope, preferred sheen, whether ceilings and trim are included, and building age.
