Home Painting Preparation: A Step-by-Step Guide to Prepare Your Home for Professional Painting
Home painting preparation is the secret to a smooth, durable finish. Whether you’re refreshing interior walls or revamping exterior siding, the right prep work ensures long-lasting beauty and value for Connecticut and New York homes.
5 Essential Steps for Successful Home Painting Preparation
1. Start with a Deep Cleaning
Dirt, mildew, and old paint can block adhesion. Use pressure washing outside or wipe down interior walls.
2. Move and Cover Furniture
Protect belongings by moving furniture away from walls and covering with drop cloths.
3. Repair Wall Imperfections
Fill cracks and dents, sanding smooth—critical for flawless cabinet painting results.
4. Choose the Right Paint Type and Color
Select weather-resistant exterior paint and stain-resistant interior options; we offer color consultations on 2025 trends.
5. Plan for Drying and Ventilation
Good airflow and mild weather (spring-summer) help paint cure properly in CT & NY.
