Here’s How to Properly Prepare Your Walls Before Painting

Contaminants like grease, dust, and dirt can prevent paint from properly adhering to your walls. That’s why a professional cleaning is necessary to remove deep-seated grime—especially in kitchens and bedrooms.

• Repair cracks, nail holes, and dents that could affect the paint job. Our experts have the skills to fix these types of imperfections using professional-grade wall filler, and we remove any peeling or chipped paint.

   

• For flawless results, professional sanding is crucial. We ensure smooth, even surfaces by sanding away gloss and creating the ideal texture for new paint to adhere.

• Primer helps seal porous surfaces, improves paint adhesion, and enhances color payoff. Essential for new drywall, water-stained areas, or drastic color changes. Choose the right type: drywall primer, stain-blocking primer, or multi-surface primer.

• Use painter’s tape to protect trim, outlets, and edges. Lay down drop cloths or plastic to shield floors and furniture.
