Prep first, then color
Interior & Exterior Painting in Loganville
Rooms, ceilings, cabinets and the outside of the house, prepped properly and painted a few rooms at a time, so furniture stays covered and most of the house stays in use.
Point us to the peeling and the stains — (000) 000-0000Paint Is Mostly Prep
The coat you see is only as good as what's under it. Cleaning grime off, scraping loose paint, filling cracks and priming stains get proper time on the schedule before color goes on.
Indoors, only a few rooms are open to painting at once: furniture gathers in the middle under drop cloths, floors get papered and outlet covers come off. Outdoors, shrubs and walkways are covered. A paint job may be its own project or the final step after a larger remodel.
What We Paint
-
Walls and ceilings
Living rooms, bedrooms, stair halls and ceilings, with nail pops set, cracks taped or filled and water marks primed so they don't show through the new color.
-
Doors, trim and cabinet fronts
Cleaned of kitchen grease and lightly sanded first, so the new enamel on baseboards, casings, doors and cabinet fronts grips and holds up to hands and bumps.
-
The outside of the house
Exterior walls, fascia and trim, porch railings and front doors. Flaking paint is scraped back, raw wood is primed and the beds and paths below are covered first.
Before the First Coat
-
Older paint and lead
Homes built before 1978 may have lead in earlier coats. If testing shows it, sanding and scraping follow lead-safe practice and the extra prep is itemized.
-
Picking a sheen
Flat hides wall flaws; eggshell and satin wipe clean; semi-gloss suits trim, doors and baths. We'll go over which goes where before paint is bought.
-
Timing outdoor work
Outdoor coats cure badly on damp wood or in temperature extremes. We keep an eye on the forecast and shift exterior days rather than racing a coat ahead of rain.
Common Painting Questions
Can we stay home while rooms are being painted?
Yes. Only a few rooms are being painted at any one time, with windows or fans moving air, so everyday life continues elsewhere in the house. Low-odor paints are worth asking about if someone at home is sensitive to smells.
How soon is a room usable again?
Most rooms are back in use shortly after the last coat dries. Furniture returns to its place, outlet covers go back on and the floor paper comes up after a final look at the lines.
Ready for a Fresh Coat?
Let us know which rooms or walls you have in mind and whether you've seen flaking, water marks or hairline cracks. Those details shape the prep.
