Interior Prep and Paint Process

• Job Site Preparation

Before we begin any painting, priming, or surface preparation, your home or workspace receives proper masking to guarantee complete protection throughout all spaces.

• Furniture, Fixtures, and Surface Protection

Protecting the items within your residence stands as our top priority. We’ll carefully relocate and shield furniture, fixtures, cabinetry, flooring, windows, and appliances to guard them against potential overspray or roller drips during paint application. These protective steps we implement ensure your living space stays secure during the complete project.

• Taping and Masking Edges

This stage proves crucial for upholding a professional and superior look before and after paint goes on. Creating precise, straight tape lines throughout the masking stage guarantees a tidy-looking work site and produces a final result featuring razor-sharp edges.

• Repair and Patching

Fixing surface defects is fundamental to establishing the right foundation for paint application. Our experienced crew will thoroughly patch and fix every crack, hole, and flaw to guarantee an appropriate surface ready for primer or paint.

• Surface Cleaning

Beginning with a pristine surface is critical for outstanding paint work. We achieve this through careful sanding and hole filling, plus extensive cleaning of surfaces to eliminate all dust, dirt, and debris before priming or painting starts.

• Priming for Adhesion

We use top-quality oil or water-based primers to build a smooth, consistent foundation that seals staining while boosting the resilience and lifespan of your paint application.

• Caulking

To create precise lines and seal gaps, we apply high-grade caulks to fill spaces surrounding trim, baseboards, and additional painted surfaces. Quality oil or water-based caulking maintains durability throughout expansion and contraction, and outperforms less expensive substitute products significantly.

• Ventilation and Environment Control

We implement steps to maintain proper ventilation while painting. Sufficient air movement speeds up drying periods and supports a healthier indoor atmosphere. We also regulate environmental conditions, like humidity levels, to secure the best paint performance. We deploy both air movers and air scrubbers to keep air flowing during the work, which helps us maintain quality standards throughout every project.

• Paint Application

• Trim Painting

We provide two coats of either enamel trim paint or hybrid Enamel Urethane trim paint through spray application to deliver a smooth and uniform finish. Based on job site needs and circumstances, when brush or roll application for trim is required, we choose lighter trim paints with enhanced self-leveling qualities to preserve a quality finish once completed.

• Ceiling Painting

Throughout comprehensive interior paint jobs, we typically paint ceilings via spray application. When working on smaller jobs or ceiling-only painting work, we’ll brush and roll these surfaces. Ceilings always get painted first in our work sequence, and the application technique gets chosen by each specific job and what works best for the client and overall workflow.

• Wall Painting

Under most circumstances, we brush and roll your wall surfaces. When a residence or structure is being painted in a single sheen and color, we’ll typically spray walls and ceilings together while back-rolling throughout the application. We apply fine roller naps on smooth wall surfaces to deliver consistent texture application. We choose standard-sized roller naps on orange peel textured walls for thorough coverage and work efficiency.
