## Interior Painting in Plainville, CT

Gagnon Painting & Decorating has painted Connecticut interiors since 1977, and Plainville is the closest town to our Southington shop of anywhere we work. It is also the most consistently mid-century: 66.3% of its homes were built in 1979 or earlier, but only 9.4% predate 1940.

That means Plainville interiors are mostly post-war capes and ranches, and the work reflects it.

## What does a mid-century interior actually need?

Different things from a Victorian one, and it is worth being honest about that rather than pretending every old house is the same job.

Plainville's housing is unusually concentrated in the post-war decades: of 8,588 units, 1,941 were built in the 1940s and 50s, 1,321 in the 1960s and 1,623 in the 1970s. Only 808 predate 1940. So the typical interior here has plasterboard or early drywall rather than lath-and-plaster, simpler trim profiles, and often a textured ceiling.

The practical consequences are these. Wall repair is drywall repair and skim coating rather than plaster keying. Trim is usually simple enough to bring back cleanly even after several coats. And the ceiling is frequently the biggest decision in the room — whether to repair a sprayed texture or take it off entirely.

What does not change is the lead threshold. The EPA's rule turns on 1978, not 1940, so most Plainville homes are inside it. Any paid work disturbing painted surfaces in them needs a certified firm. We are an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm.
