OUR INTERIOR PAINTING PROCESS

Protect: Our first step when we begin an interior project is to make sure that everything in the work area is protected. We either run drop clothes through the area or, where appropriate, a high-grade leak-proof floor protection paper. After this we’ll make sure all of your furniture is protected with plastic–everything else gets protected as appropriate with masking tape, paper, and plastic. You don’t have to worry about paint getting somewhere it wasn’t supposed to be.

Prep: B&K Painting will then begin our preparation process. This is where we will fill any holes that are smaller than quarter-size, caulk where appropriate for cracks or gaps, and take care of any minor imperfections in the texture of the walls or ceiling. If we are working on your trim we will begin any caulking, spackling, and fill work that needs to be done. We use products like Bondo glazing putty, which is popular in the automotive industry, to achieve that completed look for your trim work.

Paint: After the preparation work has been completed, we will begin painting your home. B&K Painting applies all paints according to manufacture specifications to insure proper warranty. Proper warranty includes applying the paint at a proper mil thickness wet or dry. Two coats will not add to or take away from the warranty. We view all interior coatings as primarily aesthetic: meaning the highest priority is that it looks good when the project is all done. That means that it doesn’t matter how many coats that it takes to complete the project: when we walk away it looks like it’s supposed to look.

Clean: When we walk away from your project each day, we want to leave the place cleaner than when we arrived. We understand that you’re likely living in the house through this process and we want to make it easy for life to continue on for you.

Touch Up Kit: A touch up kit that includes a pint of each paint or product used is left in a labeled box for your convenience (when available). Each sample is labeled with the color name or number, type of product, sheen, and where it is located on the project.
