Interior Painting at it's best

INTERIOR PROJECTS

PREPARATION

* All surfaces to be painted get completely sanded .
* All holes and obvious to the eye dinks get spackled.
* All cracks and gaps around trim on the trim as well as cracks around ceiling lines and corners of walls get caulked.
* Cracks across walls and ceilings get taped and patched .

PRIMING
I always recommend to my clients to completely prime everything that they want painting regardless of what the paint manufacturer recommends. Though its not absolutely necessary to prime everything it gives the best results without fail every time .The least priming I do on any given project is spot priming , I do not recommend this system but its better then no primer at all .

FINISH PAINTING
I also recommend 2 coats on all surfaces to be painted whether it ceilings,wall,or trim .You might ask why 2 coats if 1 is sufficient , believe me i have been painting far to long to know one coat is never sufficient .With 2 coats you get a solid premium finish , with 1 coat it may just look satisfactory .

I use Sherwin Williams or Benjamin Moore paint , they make by far the best paint on the market and their paints cover much better and look much better . So when you get a real cheap quote beware . Its cheap for a reason and you are more than likely to get what you pay for .Make sure when you get an estimate for painting to have it in writing exactly what you are getting for your money .Also make sure to ask what make of paint will be used
