We recognize that the key to a long-lasting paint job lies in thorough surface preparation. Our skilled team adheres to the industry-standard MPI (Master Painters Institute) guidelines, which include:
Cleaning Substrates - We ensure that surfaces are free from dirt, debris, and any contaminants that may hinder paint adhesion.
Scraping and Sanding - Loose or flaking paint is carefully removed to provide a smooth, even surface for the new coat.
Patching and Repairing - Any imperfections or damage to the surface are addressed using high-quality compounds, ensuring a seamless finish.
