We repair minor holes and cracks in ceilings and walls, fill nail holes, and fix caulking as needed. The goal is to create a smooth, clean canvas necessary for a beautiful finish.
At Strandpark Properties. Painting & Prefinishing, we consider surface preparation an art form – the foundation for a great interior painting project. We take great care in ensuring your surfaces are not only ready for a fresh coat of paint but also primed for lasting beauty and durability.
HERE’S HOW WE PREPARE YOUR SURFACE FOR INTERIOR PAINTING
A Properly Prepared Painting Surface is Critical
1. Inspection and Assessment: Our process begins with a comprehensive inspection of your interior spaces. We carefully assess the existing paint, looking for imperfections, uneven surfaces, loose or old paint, and any areas in need of repair.
2. Repairs and Patching: We address any issues we’ve identified during the inspection. This includes repairing cracks, holes, or damaged drywall, and ensuring that the substrate is solid and smooth.
3. Sanding and Smoothing: We skillfully sand rough or uneven areas, creating a seamless, smooth surface that is ready to accept the new paint. Sanding also provides a better grip for paint to adhere to.
4. Surface Cleaning: A clean surface is essential for proper paint adhesion. We meticulously clean your interior surfaces, removing dust, dirt, and any contaminants that could hinder paint application.
5. Priming for Perfection: Before the first stroke of paint, we apply high-quality primers to the entire surface or specific problem areas. Priming not only ensures a durable foundation but also enhances paint color and adhesion.
6. Masking: To protect fixtures, hardware, and areas that are not being painted, we use precise masking and covering techniques, ensuring they remain untouched.
7. Texture Matching: If your walls have texture, we match and repair them to ensure the paint’s finish appears consistent and seamless.
8. Hole and Crack Filling: We fill and seal any visible holes or cracks.
9. Fine Detail Work: We pay meticulous attention to detail, ensuring every inch of your interior surface is prepared.
10. Inspection and Verification: Throughout the preparation process, we verify the quality and readiness of your surfaces.
