How Interior Painting Works in Franklin
Downtown Franklin's plaster and Westhaven's fresh drywall ask for different prep and one finish standard. Older walls are skim coated and patched; new-build drywall is primed bare before color. We then lay two full coats of Sherwin-Williams Duration or Benjamin Moore Regal Select with cut-in and roll, wash surfaces with a TSP wash first, and sand trim with 400-grit between coats for a self-leveling edge. Canvas drop cloths go down over every historic or new-build floor.
What Franklin Homeowners Need to Know
Franklin's two eras need two different hands. The 1850s–1920s homes around the downtown square carry original plaster and, on anything pre-1978, can hold lead paint — so older interiors get careful containment and prep. Master-planned Westhaven, Fieldstone Farms, and McKay's Mill ship with thin builder-grade paint ready for a premium upgrade, often the first repaint since the builder handed over the keys.

Interior Painting Questions From Franklin Homeowners
- Do I need to move all my furniture before you start painting?
- No — we move furniture to the center of each room and cover everything with canvas drop cloths. Heavy or fragile items should be noted during the estimate walkthrough so they can be handled with care.
- Do you paint ceilings too?
- Yes. Ceiling painting is included in most full interior projects. We use a flat, non-reflective ceiling paint and cut in by hand for razor-straight ceiling breaks where wall color meets ceiling — no tape lines, no wavering edges.
- Will you repair drywall damage before painting?
- Yes. We handle drywall repair as part of prep — filling nail pops, patching cracks, skim coating damaged areas, and sanding smooth. For extensive water damage or large holes, this is addressed during the estimate so there are no surprises.
- Who actually does the painting in my home?
- Alan and the team at Alan Robinson Painting stand behind every brush stroke. Alan sets the finish standard, every stage — prep, prime, and each coat — is inspected before it's called finished, and the final walkthrough happens with you. That accountability is why customers come back for their second, third, and fourth home.
