With locations across the nation, we have helped tens of thousands of homeowners make the best choices for their homes without sacrificing quality, and we are here to show you how.

It’s a common question for homeowners looking to refresh their space quickly:
Can you paint a room in just one day?

The short answer? Yes, it’s possible. But the longer answer depends on a few important factors like room size, the type of paint you’re using, and how much prep work is required.

Professionals Make It Look Easy

For a professional painter, completing a room in a day is absolutely achievable. In fact, depending on the size and complexity of the job, a pro can often finish three to four rooms in one day.

We’re able to move quickly because we know how to prep efficiently, apply paint evenly, and avoid common mistakes that can slow down DIY jobs. We also bring all the right tools and techniques to keep things clean and consistent from start to finish.

DIY? You Can Try It — But There’s a Catch

If you’re considering painting a room yourself in one day, be ready to commit a solid block of time. With the right setup and a basic understanding of the process, it’s definitely doable for a standard bedroom or office. But here’s what you’ll need to account for:

• Moving and covering furniture
• Taping edges and baseboards
• Repairing any holes or imperfections
• Priming (if needed)
• Letting the first coat dry before applying the second

And of course, the clean-up afterward.

It’s not impossible, but it can be a long and exhausting day, especially if you’re not used to painting.
