The Undeniable Importance of Prep Work in Painting

Painting might seem like a straightforward task that merely involves the application of quality paint on surfaces. However, the success of a painting job relies heavily on a crucial stage that often goes unnoticed - the preparation phase. At Jacobsen Brothers Painting, we pride ourselves in the emphasis we place on this critical step. It's one of the many reasons we've managed to make a mark for seventy years in Boulder and its surrounding areas.

The Significance of Prep Work

Proper preparation not only ensures a smooth painting process but also guarantees the durability and quality of the paint job. The key steps involved in prep work include cleaning the surface, repairing damages, sanding, and priming.

Cleaning and Repairing

Before a drop of paint touches the walls or any surface, it is essential to clean them thoroughly. This process involves removing dust, dirt, and grease that may prevent the paint from adheriving properly, resulting in an uneven finish.

A clean surface is then inspected for damages. Cracks, holes, or any imperfections on the surface are meticulously repaired. These repairs ensure a seamless painting process, with no distortions on the final outcome.

Sanding and Priming

Sanding smoothens the surface, making it perfectly uniform and ready to hold onto the paint. It's an essential stage that guarantees a smooth and professional finish.

The final step in the preparation process is priming. This step is especially critical when painting over a darker color, stains, or bare wood. Primer ensures the paint color remains true to its shade and adheres better to the surface.
