How a Painting Services Company Should do the Preparation? 

The following procedures will be applied as necessary to your particular job under normal conditions:

 

• All furnishing and floors will be covered and protected

• Walls will be scraped, patched, and sanded. They will also be re-inspected and patched as necessary before final coats are applied

• Fill wall and ceiling cracks with spackling compound, let dry, and sand smooth

• More advanced cracks will receive an application of fiberglass joint tape, will be spackled and sanded smooth

• Glossy surfaces and trim will be sanded and cleaned to assure proper paint adhesion

• Scrape and sand rough areas due to previous paint failure

• Caulk cracks in wood trim and along wall/trim interface

• Apply a stain sealer to water and tannin wood stains

• Work areas will be cleaned-up and vacuumed, and debris will be taken away

• Upon completion, left over paint will be labeled and left at the job site

• Hardware to be removed and re-installed. Includes curtain rods, window latches, switch plates and cover plates. Door knobs, thermostats, alarm system hardware will not be removed.
