Hi, my name is Arturo Lacayo; I will be your job estimator and project manager from start to finish. It’s comforting to know that the person who gave the estimate is also the person who manages the job and does a final walk-through with you.
Having a large marketing budget has never been my thing. Last year, 74% of our work was repeat customers and referrals. And just through reputation, we’ve been hired to paint at impressive Federal Government Institutions such as the Pentagon, Smithsonian, and even the White House.
Okay, maybe I’m name-dropping, but that is pretty awesome!

Limited Ten Year Warranty on Interior Painting
I don’t know what other painting companies handle warranties on their interior painting. We offer a limited ten-year warranty for returning water stains, nail pops, and chipping and peeling of interior paint. And while we can’t warranty scuff marks and future damage, we offer peace of mind that the quality of our work is under warranty for ten years!
Klappenberger & Son Is Your Interior Painting Company in Alexandria VA
All of our interior painting jobs in Northern VA have clearly written details for both the customer and the head painter.
Consistent 5-Star Reviews Comes From Our Training Program.
The way we do things is not very complicated. Fortunately, our customers seem to like the little things we do.
For example, when we arrive at the estimate, we have 8.5 x 11 color samples that are trending colors from top national designers. Our large samples can be taped up a wall so you get a real clear idea of what the color really looks like. Those little swatch samples you get at a paint store are nearly impossible for even the most discerning eye.
Another thing our customers like is the guys wearing name tags.
The crew leader will review the proposal and have paint samples applied for your approval.

Interior Painting in Alexandria:
Oh No, Spackle Dust!
Spackling work is necessary for any interior painting in Alexandria or anywhere else. Unfortunately, when sanding the spackle, if it is done without a vacuum attachment, the spackle dust carries.
It is astonishing how few interior painting contractors will use or even own vacuum attachments for sanding spackle. Spackle dust is light and can carry throughout a house, even into closets.
We avoid this problem by sanding with vacuum attachments. When appropriately used, they collect about 90% of the dust before it has a chance to land where no one wants it.
Our interior painting best practices include using a vacuum attachment when sanding and using the most flexible spackles so those cracks don’t come back.
Problems like excessive spackle dust can be avoided by using a vacuum attachment.
In addition to painting, Klappenberger & Son painting contractor also removes wallpaper and repairs walls.
If removing wallpaper becomes too time-consuming, you can always just spackle over the seams.
And finally, you have a beautifully finished, painted wall!

Tips for Picking the Right Colors for Interior Painting
Color adds interest to a room. But the color doesn’t have to come from the paint.
The picture on the right has its walls painted with neutral color from PPG Transcend. There needs to be a splash of color added, and the throw pillows provide that beautifully.
