What’s included in a painting job?

A painting job typically includes several steps to ensure a high-quality and long-lasting finish. The exact process can vary depending on whether it's an interior or exterior painting job, but here’s a general breakdown:

1. Preparation

• Surface Cleaning: Removing dust, dirt, grease, and mildew.

• Patching and Repairs: Filling holes, cracks, or dents in walls or woodwork.

• Sanding: Smoothing rough surfaces for better paint adhesion.

• Priming: Applying a primer coat if needed, especially for new surfaces, dark colors, or stains.

• Protecting Areas: Using painter’s tape, drop cloths, and plastic sheets to cover floors, furniture, and fixtures.

2. Painting Process

• Choosing Paint Type and Color: Selecting the right paint (latex, oil-based, satin, gloss, etc.).

• Applying the Paint: Using brushes, rollers, or sprayers for even coverage.

• Multiple Coats: Applying additional coats as needed for durability and color consistency.

• Drying Time: Allowing adequate time between coats for proper drying.

3. Cleanup and Finishing Touches

• Removing Tape and Covers: Carefully peeling off painter’s tape and removing protective sheets.

• Touch-Ups: Fixing any imperfections or missed spots.

• Cleaning Up: Disposing of materials properly and cleaning tools.

• Final Inspection: Ensuring the job meets quality standards and making any final adjustments.

For exterior painting, additional steps like pressure washing, scraping old paint, and using weather-resistant paint are necessary.
