📍 Serving Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun & Prince William County, VA
A fresh coat of paint is the fastest way to transform a room or the entire exterior of your home, but the difference between a job that looks great for six months and one that lasts for years comes down to craftsmanship and preparation. Building America Construction has delivered professional painting services across Northern Virginia for more than 15 years, completing over 300 projects with the same in-house crews on every job. Our finishers are trade professionals we employ directly, so the person prepping your walls is the same person putting on the final coat, and the quality you are promised is the quality you get.
Our Painting Services
Whether you are refreshing a single room, updating tired cabinetry, or repainting the outside of your house, our painting services cover the full scope of interior and exterior work:
- Interior walls, ceilings, and trim in any finish, from flat to high-gloss
- Cabinet and millwork painting for kitchens, built-ins, and custom woodwork
- Exterior siding, trim, and doors finished to withstand Virginia weather
- Drywall repair and patching to correct cracks, dents, and nail pops before paint goes on
- Caulking and sealing around trim, gaps, and joints for a clean, weather-tight result
- Staining for decks, railings, and interior wood surfaces
- Color consultation to help you choose shades that suit your home and lighting
Why Surface Prep Matters
Paint is only as good as the surface underneath it. The single biggest difference between a cheap paint job and a lasting one is the preparation that happens before the first coat is ever applied. We sand glossy or uneven surfaces so new paint bonds properly, patch every hole and imperfection, and prime bare drywall, repairs, and stained areas so the topcoat covers evenly and holds its color. Skipping these steps is how you end up with peeling, blotchy, or streaky walls within a year. We never cut corners here, because prep is exactly where the value of professional painting lives.
Why Choose BAC
Our painting is performed by in-house finishers, not day-labor subcontractors, which is why our results stay consistent from the first project to the three-hundredth.

What Painting Costs
Interior painting runs roughly $3 to $7 per square foot of floor area, or about $3,000 to $8,000 or more for a whole home interior, depending on prep, ceiling height, and the number of colors. The biggest drivers of price are prep and repairs, trim and doors, ceilings, the number of coats, and whether the work is interior or exterior. These are planning ranges only, and the honest way to price a project is to walk it in person. If you are pairing paint with a larger kitchen remodeling project, we can fold the finishing into one scope. Tell us about your home on our contact page for a clear, itemized estimate.
How Long Painting Takes
Most interior painting projects take a few days to about a week, depending on the size of the home and the amount of prep involved. A few rooms can often be finished in two or three days, while a full home with extensive patching and multiple colors runs closer to a week. Exterior painting also depends on the weather, since coats need dry, moderate conditions to cure. We give you a realistic schedule before we start and hold to it.
Our Workmanship Warranty
Building America Construction backs every painting project with a 1-year workmanship warranty. If something we painted fails because of how it was applied, we come back and make it right. That guarantee holds because our finishers are in-house professionals and because we do not skip the prep, patching, sanding, caulking, and priming that make a finish last. Licensed and insured and Manassas based, we serve Arlington, Gainesville, and Prince William County.
