Viewing the Surfaces to be Painted

We also learn about the history of water damage, leaks, or other issues that could impact the project. If any repairs are needed to prepare the area for paint we will explain the reasons for them.
The Process of Preparing then Painting the Surface
We consider the logistics of the house painting project and talk through the materials needed to protect your possessions and get started. Preparation involves cleaning the surface, removing old flaking paint, and smoothing out imperfections. In the case of larger holes and damaged areas, drywall patch work may be required before we begin painting.
The Importance of Color Choice and Sheen
A color choice can appear to change based on the light in a room. Sheen also affects how the wall looks and how easily imperfections can be seen. We discuss the color you would like and how it will suit the room. If you are planning to keep the existing color, we talk about the limitations of small touch-ups and the options available.
The Application and Final Inspection
With the preparations made we begin the application process and work over the surfaces to be painted. We apply a suitable primer and paint according to the needs of the surface and your instructions. We take note of the coverage and edges of the newly painted areas and allow the material to dry according to the manufacturer's guidelines. The last stage before leaving is to inspect the work for missed spots and areas of concern, as well as a discussion about the care of the new paint.
