A successful paint job starts with proper wall preparation. Here’s how to get your walls ready for a smooth, professional-looking finish:
Step 1: Clean the Surface
Dust, dirt, and grease can prevent paint from adhering properly. Wash walls with mild soap and water, then let them dry completely.
Step 2: Patch Holes & Cracks
Use spackle or filler to repair holes, cracks, or dents. Once dry, sand the area smooth for an even surface.
Step 3: Sand the Walls
Light sanding helps remove imperfections and creates a slightly rough texture that helps the paint bond better.
Step 4: Apply Primer
A good primer helps the paint adhere evenly and enhances durability, especially if covering dark or uneven surfaces.
Step 5: Tape Off Edges
Use painter’s tape to protect trim, outlets, and adjacent walls from accidental brush strokes.
Following these steps ensures a flawless finish. Don’t want to do it yourself? Our team is here to help!
