Before

After

Cover up is important! We use drop cloths to protect your floors and carpets. We mask off baseboards or
floors (with tape and paper) to keep splatters from happening. It is much easier and wiser to keep paint off
unwanted surfaces than to clean it off after the fact. We use clean drops or clear plastics to cover your
furniture.

Existing enamels surfaces, such as painted walls, doors, casings and windows are lightly sanded, dusted and
cleaned as necessary to remove dirt. The new paint must adhere and proper preparation will ensure a good
job. Finer sandpaper is used for interior work for a smoother finish look. Flat walls are cleaned if excessively
dirty. We use TSP or other appropriate cleaner to wash.

Cracks are caulked with latex caulking. Holes are filled with spackle or caulking, depending on finish coat
used. Any loose paint must be scraped away first before sanding, cleaning and caulking. Very bad cracks may
have to be taped with sheetrock tape and joint compound and retextured. This is more extreme and requires
more trips and costs extra. Those such needs are thoroughly discussed before the job starts.

Preparation is the most important determining
factor in achieving a quality paint job.

Walls & Ceilings

We begin by giving all surfaces a light pole sanding to alleviate minor
blemishes. We then scrape all loose debris in cracks, bad seams, holes, or
in any other major

imperfections. All nail-pops are repaired adding drywall screws where
needed. We will seal any exposed paper with shellac before fiber tape is
added to cover old cracks and seams. All surface imperfections are then
patched using at least two coats of drywall compound followed by a
thorough sanding. The patches and water stains are then primed before the
first coat of paint is applied. A gentle sanding between coats helps achieve a
sleek and revitalized new wall appearance.

Woodwork

All previously painted doors, windows, baseboards, and frames are scraped removing any chipping paint.
The trim is thoroughly sanded before all gaps and trim seams are caulked together. Exposed bare wood is
primed before the first coat of paint is applied. After the last gentle sanding the surfaces are cleaned using a
tack rag and prepared for a final coat.
