Quality Preparation Work

Interior painting is an exciting way to give any room in your home a fresh new look. Whether you’re aiming for a bold and dramatic look or a subtle and calming atmosphere, the right paint colors and techniques can make all the difference. However, before you start painting, there is some important prep work that needs to be done. Below is discussing what prep work is needed for interior painting and how to properly prepare a room for a professional-looking paint job.

1. Cleaning:

Cleaning your walls is an important step, and any household detergent will work. If there’s an accumulation of dirt piling up over time, scrub it away with a dry dish brush or wet rag.

2. Scraping

It is a process where you remove all loose paint and sand down the rough ridges where the paint has broken off.

3. Spackle

Use a professional-grade spackle to paint over any blemishes or holes in the wall/ceiling. Be sure to sand it down before painting.

4. Texture

If the existing wall has something other than a smooth texture, your patch should match that texture as closely as possible.

5. Caulking

Next, we need to caulk in cracks and holes with quality caulk. Caulking is a sealant used to fill joints and gaps in walls, floors, and other surfaces.

6. Sanding

Finally, we will need to sand down the texture and paint it to make it look real.
