Before beginning a painting project, it is not uncommon to find minor dings or nail holes that should be repaired with compound and a putty knife and then sanded smooth with fine sandpaper. Larger holes may need to be patched with a piece of drywall or (a newer method) an aluminum patch, either of which need to then be covered with joint compound, left to dry, sanded and re-coated.
Every interior house painting job comes with its unique challenges. The important thing to know is that we can remedy anything, and that we will not be satisfied until we resolve rather than hide the underlying problem. We need to ensure it will not simply resurface at a later date. Beauty is only skin deep, but repairs have to be made at the root of the problem. An older home can have cracking or bulging plaster, or stains from long-ago water damage, but it’s not just old homes that present problems. Even a brand new home is likely to have some popped screws in the drywall, and may even have some bad drywall seams or a few cracks from settling.
If your home is older, your walls may have been painted with an oil-based product. As oil paints are no longer being sold or manufactured, and today’s water-based latex or acrylic paints do not adhere to the old product, there is a special priming process that needs to be followed with care using the correct material and proper procedures. The bonus is that you no longer have to live with the noxious fumes of oil-based paints.
