Miami’s metro population is 6,097,747. Yet if you need a quality interior painting in Miami, it can be like finding a cool pool on a hot summer day.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say that if you are not one of our 30,000 repeat customers, you are probably looking for a reliable Miami painting contractor.
If you have never used our interior painting services before, welcome to our site, and I look forward to shaking hands. If you are returning customer, we appreciate your business and look forward to seeing you again.
For those new to us, I’d like to share our Superior Customer Service, which is quickly making us the #1 Miami painting company.
Quick turn–around on estimates. Typically we give you an estimate within 24-48 hours (sometimes even the same day).
Quote – Because we have developed our estimating software, our quote turnaround time is faster than most other painting contractors.
Fair Pricing – We don’t look around your home and pick a number out of the sky. Instead, we calculate the space, the number of coats, and the prep work and arrive at an accurate and fair price. Check out our interior painting calculator to see how much it would cost to paint your interior.
Communication – I am not only the estimator but also the job’s project manager. This ensures that communication mistakes are minimal and the jobs run smoothly for your interior painting in Miami.
Warranty -We offer limited 10-year warranties for interior painting.
The industry standard for painting companies in Miami is one year. I believe if any bubbling, peeling, or old stains come back, we did something wrong. Even nail pops we fix come with a ten-year warranty.
Warranties are excellent because it gives us a chance to build trust. Don’t be surprised if we call you occasionally to ask how things the paint is holding up.
In addition, we also offer an unheard-of 5-year warranty on kitchen cabinet painting.
We believe giving extended warranties ensures
We have found out the hard way that there are a lot of slop-and-go painters in Miami. We train, then train some more and continually inspect what we expect.
If they can’t follow our system, we encourage them to work for our competitors!
Before starting any interior painting, the content will be protected or removed from the room.
1. Protect or remove contents
2. Remove wall and switch plates
3. Spackle and caulk areas as needed
4. Sand areas with a vacuum attachment to minimize dust
5. Apply samples on areas to be painted for approval.
Our Superior Customer Service is no slogan. It is a checklist of best practices that we incorporate on every job!

Due to the harsh ultraviolet rays in Florida’s Miami, we can suggest paints such as Ben Moore with Gennex Color Technology that is fade-resistant.
As a professional Miami painting contractor, we know it is not a one-size-fits-all solution for which paint is the best for you. Many painting contractors use the same paint for every job because they are comfortable — that’s understandable but not necessarily good for you, the customer.

Some quick thoughts on sheen
Sheen is graded on a reflectivity scale of 1-100.
A reflectivity of 1 would be a chalkboard, and 100 would be a mirror.
The highest reflectivity I have found is Fine Paints Of Europe Holland Lac Gloss Oil. It has a reflectivity of 92!
Most high gloss paints have a reflective value in the mid-80s.
Flat and Matte sheen -has a reflective value from 1-5. Flat paints hide imperfections and are best for ceilings and some walls. Some flat paints have poor washability but not all. Premium paints like Aura, Dynasty, Marquee, UltraLast and Emerald Urethane, and C2 all have excellent washability. Where to use: ceilings and walls.
Eggshell sheen -I have yet to find an eggshell paint that does not have excellent washability. However, few eggshell paints touch up. Meaning if for any reason, you have to touch up the wall, you will most likely have to paint the entire wall. Where to use: closets, smooth walls, hallways, bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and pig pens bedroom.
Satin Sheen -if your kitchen cabinets still have the factory finish, it is likely a satin finish. Satin is also commonly used for furniture. Great washability, poor touch-up. Where to use: closets, shelving, kitchen cabinets, bookcases.
Semi-Gloss – standard on trim, not used on walls as much as it once was.
Gloss – when you get something that you want people to see. High Gloss catches your attention. Even if it is put on a ceiling.
Whether you need interior and exterior painting or handyman services in Miami, we have you covered.
In addition to saving you time from calling and managing multiple contractors, Klappenberger & Son’s one-stop-shop approach saves you money!
Most, if not all, contractors charge an exaggerated rate for the first hour for small jobs. For example, if you need a bathroom light replaced, the walls, and a door replaced, you may need 3 different trades charging a premium price for the 3 small jobs. With Klappenberger & Son, we can do all three trades saving you time and money.
