How a New Jersey Professional Painter Prepares a Room

Are you ready to transform the look in one or more rooms of your home? Interior painting is the perfect solution but painting your home yourself can be an exhausting and messy process that you understandably want to hand off to someone else. Unfortunately, many homeowners who decide to take on such a challenge are not happy with the end result despite spending so much valuable energy and time. At Canabe Painting, we are the trusted painting contractor in Lyndhurst NJ that you can rely on to walk you through the process and to give you the impeccable results that you expect.

The comprehensive prep work that we do lays the foundation for the quality of the finished project. We know that our workmanship will impact your home’s aesthetics, condition and value, and we assure you that we never cut corners with something as important as prep work. In fact, these are the important preparations that we take for every interior painting project that we work on regardless of the scale.

Remove Furnishings and Décor

The last thing that you want is to have fresh paint on your furniture and other treasured items when it should only be on the walls. Before we begin working in your room, we will remove items so that there is no chance of them getting damaged by paint splatters or drips. In large rooms, there may be enough space available to safeguard your furnishings and other items in the center of the space. If this is the case, rest assured that we will safeguard those items with a cloth before we start painting.

Protect Remaining Surfaces

Even when your room is painted by a professional and all of the furnishings and personal effects have been removed, a small drop or splatter of paint can land on the wrong surface. As part of our professional team’s preparations, we will remove electrical outlet plates and light fixture plates. In addition, the light fixtures, ceiling fans and floor will be protected with canvas or plastic sheets.

Create a Smooth Surface

In many homes, walls may have minor blemishes that require attention. This may include hairline cracks from the home settling or even small holes from screws, nails and more. When your residential painting project is complete, the wall will be completely flawless, and all of the paint will be applied evenly. To ensure that this is accomplished, we will patch or repair the damaged areas properly so that the paint can dry on a smooth surface.

Clean the Walls

After paint dries, small elements like pet hair, tiny cobwebs, dust and more will be trapped in the paint. If this happens, they will create easy-to-spot blemishes that detract from the beauty of your painted walls. As part of our prep work, our interior painting pros will thoroughly wipe down the surfaces that will receive paint.

Protect the Trim

There are few things that can ruin the look of an otherwise beautiful paint job more easily than blotchy lines along the trim pieces. When you hire a painting contractor, you expect to see perfectly crisp lines between contrasting colors. Our pros know how to properly tape the trim to produce the clean lines that you expect.

Prime the Walls

The final preparation that we take before applying paint is to prime the walls. Primer is not always needed, but we assure you that we will not cut corners. An application of primer is necessary if the walls currently have a dark paint color, a pattern or any color of paint with a high-gloss finish. We can tell you if primer is a required preparation for your project during the consultation.

After every step has been taken to safeguard your home while we work and after the work area has been prepared, we will start painting the walls. In most cases, our painting team will start along the edges and move inward. Rest assured that we ensure that the paint is dry before removing the protective coverings and returning your belongings to their original position.
