Protecting the Surfaces
Cover up and masking is the first of several important steps. Masking
off the baseboards and some other horizontals surfaces is important to
protect against roller splatters. We use clean plastic to cover all
furniture and canvasses to cover the floors. Hardware will need
protection and in some cases must be removed. It is always important to
cover thoroughly, so we won’t have to remove paint splatters later.
Preparing the Surfaces
All holes and
cracks must be filled with spackle or caulking, being careful to match
the existing texture. Excessively dirty surfaces must be cleaned before
applying paint. Trim surfaces (doors and casings) need to be lightly
sanded with fine sandpaper before application of paint. We also do
wallpaper removal. In extreme cases, we will even texture the surfaces
after removing the wallpaper.
Painting the Surfaces
Application on
walls and ceilings typically is done with rollers with extension poles
and brushes . Care must be taken to apply the paint evenly and with
proper coverage to give a professional finished look. If you have
popcorn ceilings, they typically are spray painted (in some cases
rolling works too). Trim is typically done with brushes (some rolling
and backbrushing) and/or HVLP spray for larger surfaces such as
wainscoting. The best materials and tools, along with expert
application ensure a great finished product.
Packaging the Surfaces
This process
consists of inspecting all surfaces for "holidays" (missed areas).
After the application of paint passes inspections, we unmask
everything, remove the plastic from furniture and remove the canvasses
from floors. All trash is removed and thrown away. We all admire the
new paint job and move to next job. More details
