What Painting Prep Includes
Prep is what separates a paint job that lasts five years from one that peels in twelve months. We fill and sand holes, caulk gaps at trim and baseboards, prime bare spots, and protect floors and furniture with drop cloths and tape. Skipping prep is the number one cause of premature paint failure.
For exterior painting, prep includes power washing the surfaces, scraping loose paint, sanding rough areas, and priming bare wood. We also caulk gaps around windows, doors, and siding joints to prevent moisture intrusion behind the new paint.
We use low-VOC paints from Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore for interior work, and 100% acrylic exterior paints that resist UV fading and Salt Lake County freeze-thaw cycles.
