The Importance of Prep Work Before Painting

A great paint job starts long before the first coat is applied. Proper prep work is essential to achieving a smooth, long-lasting finish. As experienced local painters in Wichita, KS, we ensure every surface is carefully prepared before painting. Here are the necessary steps we take:

  1. Cleaning the Surface – Dirt, dust, and grease can prevent paint from adhering properly, so we thoroughly clean walls and exteriors before starting.

  2. Repairing Any Damage – We patch holes, cracks, and imperfections to create a flawless surface for painting.

  3. Sanding & Smoothing – Uneven surfaces can lead to a poor finish. We sand rough areas to ensure smooth application.

  4. Priming – A quality primer helps paint adhere better, provides uniform coverage, and enhances durability.

  5. Taping & Covering – We protect floors, trim, and furniture from accidental paint splatters with precision taping and coverings.

Skipping these essential steps can lead to peeling, chipping, and an uneven finish. That’s why we take pride in doing the job right from start to finish, ensuring high-quality results that last.
