Professional Painting in Gaithersburg, MD and the DMV

A fresh coat of paint is the most cost-effective home improvement you can make. But the difference between a DIY job and professional painting isn't just color — it's in the preparation. At Explosion Home Solutions, we sand, prime, fill, caulk, and protect every surface before a single brush touches the wall. The result is a finish that looks great on day one and holds up for years.

We serve homeowners across Gaithersburg, Bethesda, Rockville, Arlington VA, and throughout the DMV with full interior and exterior painting services.

Interior Painting Services

Our interior painting process goes beyond the walls. We protect your floors, furniture, and trim with professional drop cloths and tape, then apply a full prime-and-paint system using low-VOC, premium-grade paints from Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams. Results are consistent, edge lines are sharp, and cleanup is thorough.

Exterior Painting Services

The Mid-Atlantic climate — hot summers, cold winters, and significant humidity — is hard on exterior paint. Choosing the wrong product or skipping proper prep leads to peeling within 2–3 years. Our exterior painters use 100% acrylic paints specifically rated for humid climates, applied over a thorough power wash and prime cycle.

Power Washing & Surface Prep

Every exterior job starts with a professional power wash to remove mold, mildew, chalking, and loose paint.

Caulking & Wood Repairs

We seal all gaps around windows, doors, and siding, and replace any rotted wood before painting to ensure a watertight finish.

Siding, Trim & Shutters

We paint all exterior surfaces including body, trim, shutters, fascia, and doors in coordinated color systems.

Drywall Repair & Installation

From nail pops and stress cracks to water-damaged sections and full drywall replacement, our team handles repairs of any scale. We tape, mud, texture-match, and sand to create a seamless repair that's invisible once painted. For new construction or additions, we also handle full drywall board installation and finishing.

Why Our Painting Process Lasts Longer

Many painting contractors cut corners on preparation to save time. We don't. Our 5-step prep process — clean, repair, sand, prime, paint — is the reason our exterior paint jobs hold up for 7–10 years in the Maryland climate. We also back our work with a 2-year craftsmanship warranty on interior painting and a 3-year warranty on exterior projects.

Frequently Asked Questions — Painting

How long does interior painting take?+

A typical 3-bedroom home interior takes 3–5 days. We work room by room to minimize disruption and allow the family to move freely through the home.

What paint brands do you use?+

We use Benjamin Moore Regal Select and Sherwin-Williams Duration for most projects. We can also work with any paint brand you specify.

Do I need to move furniture before painting?+

We ask that you clear small items and valuables. Large furniture we move as needed, cover with drop cloths, and return to position when complete.

Can you match existing paint colors?+

Yes. We can color-match to any existing paint using a spectrophotometer. Bring a paint chip or we can scan the wall directly at the estimate appointment.
