PROFESSIONAL PAINTER’S PROCESS

When your home needs its interior or exterior painted, you might be tempted to do the job yourself but in the long run, this option usually costs more time and money. Hiring a professional painter is always worth the money you spend, mainly because the job is guaranteed to be done correctly the first time. Here are the basic steps that all professional painters go through to make interiors and exteriors shine:  

1. Move and cover furniture 

Professional painters will request to remove all the unnecessary things on the wall such as painting and pictures and other furniture of your environment that are obstructing them. You can help by moving small furniture and clearing the painting area of any valuables or anything that you don’t want to get paint on. Professional crew will  using masking tapes to tape up areas such as windows, blinds, fans, switches and etc.  

2. Prepare painting surfaces & wall plastering 

This means caulking any cracks or gaps in the surface, as well as removing old and peeling paint. Scraping is a big part of this process, because it removes damaged paint before it’s painted over.  Professional crew will apply plastering to even out uneven areas before they officially start painting.   

3. Prepare your wall with a base coat 

The painters will then prepare your wall with a base coat which is very important as this allows your chosen colour to last longer. A white base coat is used so that the colour you choose, be in light or dark will show up perfectly. Once the base coat is dry, your chosen colour is painted on especially in the corners of the room,  the space between the ceiling and the side walls will be painted in a neat line with the help of our professional painters. The colours will be left to dry.  

4. Remove the covered areas and touch up 

Once the paint was dried up, the painters will remove the covered areas and touch up before shifting and placing back your items. All the work is done; no paint stains on your clothes, no mess and a clean paint job. If you are not used to the manual labour of painting, seeking help from a professional painting company will save you a lot of pain and results in a beautiful new room with a new shade of colour.  

From here, the paint job is pretty self-explanatory. Professionals usually paint in a logical, methodical way, moving from room to room or area to area in a way that minimizes wasted work and movement. Even the professionals aren’t perfect, so they usually set aside time to do a check for touch-ups.
