Preparation questions

Does every wall need primer before painting?

Not always. Previously painted walls in good condition often just need two topcoats, but primer is essential on bare drywall, patched repairs, stains, or when switching from oil-based to latex or making a dramatic colour change. We assess every surface and prime where it’s needed.

What preparation is included before painting?

Proper prep is included in every project: protecting floors and furniture, filling holes and cracks, sanding, caulking, and priming where needed. We don’t cut corners on preparation — it’s what makes a paint job look great and last.
