How do you prepare surfaces before painting begins?

All walls are inspected for cracks, small holes, or flaws and sanded and/or repaired before beginning. We can also repair your drywall if necessary. All areas are primed as needed before the application of the finishing coat.

Can you paint over wallpaper?

Yes, as long as it is in good condition, primer can be applied over the wall paper. But if your wallpaper has a metallic finish, we recommend removing it in order to achieve the best results.

Should you always prime before painting?

There's no question, experienced painters will always prime before beginning a painting project. There are several reasons to prime, such as: it ensures greater adhesion of the topcoat of paint, allows for greater color retention and fade protection, prevents grease, smoke and water stains from bleeding through to the surface, and makes paint resistant to peeling during cleaning and scrubbing.

Why should I have my property pressure washed?

Most homeowners realize how difficult it is to clean decks, paths, and driveways using a garden hose and broom. It's difficult because the water pressure from a regular garden hose just doesn't have sufficient pressure and only provides limited cleaning power. On the other hand, a pressure washer provides higher cleaning power. Water is delivered at 1,500 psi and provides a controlled stream that is effective on the toughest dirt.

What can be cleaned with high pressure washing?

The things that can be cleaned with high pressure are numerous… paths, masonry, driveways, and decks just to name a few.
