Complete Surface Preparation for Lasting Results

Surface preparation is one of the most important steps in any painting project. Without proper prep, paint may not adhere correctly, leading to peeling, bubbling, or uneven coverage. Our preparation process includes thorough cleaning, sanding, caulking, and priming as needed. We also use pressure washing for exterior surfaces to remove dirt, mildew, and buildup. These steps ensure that every surface is properly conditioned before paint is applied.

Pressure Washing and Surface Cleaning

Exterior surfaces are constantly exposed to dirt, moisture, and environmental buildup. Before applying any coatings, we perform detailed pressure washing to remove contaminants that could interfere with adhesion. This step not only improves the appearance of your property but also helps extend the life of your paint by creating a clean surface for proper bonding.
