Professional interior painting is 80% preparation and 20% application. Our disciplined, five-step process ensures that your home is treated with respect and that the finish lasts for years.

Step 1: Protection and Site Setup

We understand that we are guests in your home. Our first priority is protecting your property. Before a single paint can is opened, we:

• Move heavy furniture to the center of the room.

• Cover flooring with heavy-duty drop cloths and builder’s paper.

• Protect fixtures, switch plates, and window treatments with plastic masking.

• Ensure a dust barrier is in place to prevent debris from traveling to other parts of the house.

Step 2: Meticulous Surface Preparation

The secret to a smooth finish lies in the prep work. High Springs homes, especially older ones, often suffer from settling cracks or nail pops. We utilize expert drywall repair and patching techniques to create a seamless canvas.

• Sanding: We sand all walls to remove scuffs and bumps, ensuring the new paint bonds mechanically to the surface.

• Caulking: We fill gaps in baseboards, crown molding, and door casings with premium elastomeric caulk for crisp, clean lines.

• Cleaning: We remove dust, grease, and grime that can prevent paint adhesion.

Step 3: Priming for Durability

Skipping primer is the most common mistake in amateur painting. We use specific primers based on the condition of your walls.

• Stain-Blocking Primer: Essential for covering water stains or crayon marks.

• High-Bonding Primer: Used for glossy surfaces or oil-based paints found in older High Springs homes.

• Tinted Primer: Used when making drastic color changes (e.g., painting light over dark) to ensure rich color depth.

Step 4: Precision Application

We utilize premium low-VOC paints from trusted manufacturers like Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore. Our application techniques are refined to eliminate brush marks and roller stipple.

• Cut-In: We hand-cut sharp lines at the ceiling and trim for a professional look.

• Rolling: We maintain a “wet edge” to ensure a uniform texture across the entire wall.

• Trim and Doors: We often use high-durability semi-gloss enamels for woodwork to resist scuffs and chipping.

Step 5: Final Inspection and Clean-Up

We perform a rigorous quality control check. We inspect the walls under bright light to catch any imperfections. Once approved, we sweep, vacuum, and return your furniture to its original position. The only evidence we leave behind is your beautiful new walls.
