All that bright Southern Utah sunshine can fade paint on walls that get direct light, especially in west-facing rooms that soak up afternoon sun. Deep, bold colors tend to fade fastest, while lighter neutrals hold up better. Window coverings or UV-blocking film help protect your walls, and so does choosing a quality paint with good fade resistance.

Most homes need fresh interior paint every five to 10 years, though busy spots like hallways, kids' rooms, and kitchens might need it sooner. In St. George, the sun fading and fine desert dust can make walls look tired a little faster. If you're seeing scuffs, faded spots, or marks that won't wipe off, it's probably time.

Painting usually comes first, since drips and spills won't matter on old or bare floors. The one exception is baseboards, which painters often touch up after the new floors go in. Planning the order this way keeps your new floors spotless.

A professional interior paint job includes prep work such as moving furniture, covering floors, patching holes, sanding, and caulking gaps before any paint goes on. From there, painters prime where needed, paint crisp lines along ceilings and trim, and roll on two coats. Then they clean up and walk through the house with you to catch any spots that need a touch-up.

Flat or matte finishes work well on ceilings and bedroom walls because they hide small imperfections. For kitchens, bathrooms, and high-traffic areas, an eggshell or satin finish is easier to wipe clean. Semi-gloss is the go-to for trim, doors, and cabinets because it withstands scrubbing and adds a touch of shine.
