At Outstanding Painting, we recently completed a detailed hallway repair and painting project in Queens, New York. This job required more than just a fresh coat of paint — it involved careful surface preparation, water damage treatment, and expert finishing. As a go-to Queens painting contractor, we take pride in transforming damaged areas into smooth, attractive spaces.

The hallway we worked on had extensive peeling paint on both the walls and ceiling — a clear sign of aging paint layers and poor previous maintenance. Our first step was a full scraping of all loose paint to get down to a solid surface.
Proper prep is critical in any painting project. Without removing flaking paint, even the best paint won’t last. Once everything was scraped, we sanded and cleaned the surfaces to ensure a smooth base. This is one of the reasons homeowners trust our Queens painting services — we never skip the prep work.
The ceiling in this hallway was in especially rough shape. Cracks, old patch marks, and years of neglect had left it uneven and unsightly. To restore it, we applied a skim coat — a thin layer of joint compound spread evenly over the entire surface.
Skim coating is a labor-intensive process that requires skill, but the results speak for themselves. After drying and sanding the coat smooth, the ceiling looked brand new — flat, even, and ready for paint.
In addition to general wear and tear, some areas of the hallway walls showed signs of water damage. Painting over these areas without treatment could lead to stains bleeding through or peeling in the future.
We applied an oil-based primer to these problem areas, which effectively seals in any water stains, blocks odors, and provides a strong base for the final paint. As a professional Queens painting contractor, we know how important it is to handle damage the right way the first time.
With all repairs complete, it was time to bring color back to the space. We used two different paint finishes for both function and appearance:
The stair railing and banister were painted with a semi-gloss finish. This type of paint is durable, easy to clean, and perfect for surfaces that get touched often. It also adds a slight shine, giving the stairs a polished look.
The walls were painted with an eggshell finish, which offers a soft, low-sheen appearance that hides minor imperfections while still being washable — ideal for high-traffic hallways like this one.
The result was a clean, fresh, and professionally finished hallway that instantly upgraded the feel of the entire home.
