3 ways to prepare for interior painting

An excellent paint job begins with good preparation. It will ensure that your home is painted the exact way you envisioned it. The following is a list of 3 ways to prepare for interior painting. As a Long Island painting company we abide by these on every project.

1. Take furniture out of the way: Unless you are working in an empty room, you will need to move your furniture out of the way as part of the interior painting preparation process. Furniture that is impossible to move out of the room should be positioned in the middle and wrapped with plastic sheets taped at the bottom. Using this approach will save your furniture from getting paint drips and splatters, as well as dust, build up during sanding. By doing this, you will ensure that your belongings are in good condition.
2. Wall Prep: Thoroughly clean the walls and ceiling to remove debris and old paint. Fill any cracks or dents with the correct putty. Fill big holes with the compound. Windows and doors often show stress cracks. Framing movement causes cracks that are difficult to fix permanently. We suggest spackling, waiting the proper time, then sanding till you have a smooth surface.
3. Final Test Sample: Double-check the paint samples before apply paint to the walls with a roller or brush. Open a can and make sure that it mixed well. Apply it in a small area using 2 coats. Make sure the color complements the room’s furniture and lighting. When the repairs and settings are complete, the painting process begins. After the first coat has dried, you can patch and use sandpaper on any further damage.
