Interior Painting in Howard County
About seven years ago, I opened up Klappenberger & Son in Howard Company because I needed reliable, professional, and prompt painting services.
I had two negative experiences at my home, both jobs requiring interior painting in Howard County.
That was the impetus for me to look into a Klappenberger & Son franchise. Klappenberger & Son has a great system, with training and automated systems that produce quality results and excellent communication.
Also, the human touch works well! I am the owner, as well as the estimator and supervisor. I’ve listed my cell phone number in the caption on the right.
We cover interior painting in Howard County plus many other services including:

Consistent 5-Star Reviews Comes From Our Training Program
It is all about the finished painting project – cause and effect.
Every six months, we retrain or reemphasize our best practices from cleaning and respecting the interior homes we are painting to how to correctly power-wash a fence.
At Klappenberger & Son, we have training videos that all painters are required to watch every six months. These training videos are not about holding a paintbrush, but are advanced training on best practices developed for over 25 years.
In addition, I am a firm believer in inspecting what you expect. Regular visits and a final walkthrough guarantee you will be happy with our work.

It’s All About the Prep!
Prep work is vitally important to having a beautiful interior paint job, and spackling is part of the process. 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 sand spackle areas with vacuum attachments. Spackle dust is very light and can carry all throughout a house, even making its way into closets.
We avoid this problem by sanding with vacuum attachments on our sanders, and it collects 95% of the dust before it has a chance to land where no one wants it.
Out interior painting best practices not only include using a vacuum attachment when sanding, but also using the most flexible spackles so those cracks don’t come back.
Choosing the Right Interior Paint
Most painting companies have their favorite go-to paint. Whether it is Ben Moore or Sherwin Williams, there really is no one-size-fits-all. Therefore, it is important to have a large breadth of knowledge to know which one fits your particular needs. Moreover, it has been interesting to find that the more expensive paints are not always the best choice. In addition to these fine paints below, we also do reviews on C2 Cabinet Paint.

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.

Having any contracting work done at your home is always a bit stressful. But if you are in the market for interior painting in Howard County, I think we can make the process less stressful.
It starts with excellent communication.
My name is Arturo Lacayo, and my cell phone number is 202-644-6105.
I am the owner, estimator, and project manager on your job from start to finish. It’s comforting to know that the person who gave the estimate also manages the job and does a final walk-through with you.
Even though we have painted over 25,000 customers, you probably have not heard of Klappenberger & Son. That’s understandable.
