Painting can sometimes be our least favorite remodeling job to do, and it’s usually of how much time we spend just prepping for it. Nearly 85% of all painting is primarily painting prep work, so Neubert Painting can understand why some people put it off. Don’t let your Avon, Ohio, Cleveland, Ohio, or Westlake, Ohio home suffer in appearance inside or out because you’d rather just skip all the extra steps. Though skipping these steps can sound like a good idea, Neubert Painting knows that it can actually cause more work, like peeling paint. To prevent peeling paint on whatever surface of your home –exterior or interior—be sure you remove loose paint, sand if puttied, and surface wash before ever painting over it. Once you start painting, make sure you prime it at least once, and then place two coats of your ideal color over top to get a solid, beautiful color for your room. However, there are many more steps than just these brief ones mentioned that you should follow.

Does your Avon, Cleveland, or Westlake home need a little bit of TLC? Most houses do, but don’t let the idea of having to do more than put a couple coats of paint on the wall deter you from making your house shine! Painting prep work may seem difficult, but it can be achieved in a few steps. Whether you’re working with the interior of your home or the exterior, these are some tips you should follow: before starting any project with paint, be sure to lay down canvas drop cloths and remove any fixtures (light switch covers, mailbox, etc) that may potentially get in the way of painting the entire surface you’re working on.  If an item cannot be removed from your work area, be sure to cover it with painting tape or protect it in some other way. Remove loose paint by using a hand scraper. Even if you use a power washer to remove old paint outside, you may still need to hand scrape some portion of it to get the remaining old paint off to prevent peeling paint in the future. Now, fill and sand any areas you may have puttied that you want to patch before performing a surface cleaning. Wait until the surface is completely dry before painting, otherwise the paint may not adhere properly. Now, apply your primer, add a couple coats of your favorite color, and you’re looking at an amazing home! Not sure you’re up for all this work? Don’t worry.
