The most important part of any paint job is not what you see, but what you don't see...underneath the paint. The paint job is only as good as the preparation. Even the most expensive paint will peel if the surface is not prepared adequately before applied. You have to know that the "painter" you hire is a professional, and that they deliver what they promise. You should request and expect the following:
- Environmentally-friendly detergent or bleach is used to remove dirt & mildew as required
- Delicate areas are hand-washed
- Loose paint chips are cleaned up
- House is given time to dry
- Driveways & walkways cleaned upon request
- Full scrape to remove all loose and peeling paint
- All bare areas are primed prior to paint application
- Glossy areas are scuff-sanded to ensure that finish coat bonds strongly
- Feather-sanding done upon request
- Cracked, loose and missing caulking around doors and windows will be replaced
