Without fail, one of the first questions homeowners ask is: What does prep work actually mean?
Before we pick up any paint, we focus on getting the surface ready. That can include cleaning, sanding, patching, sealing, priming, and dulling the surface so the new coating has the right foundation to adhere properly. Prep work is not the part most people notice first, but it is the part that helps determine how long the paint job will last.
By taking the time to properly prepare each surface, we’re not only focused on creating a smoother finish. We’re also helping protect the structure underneath from premature wear, moisture damage, and decay.
Beautifying, protecting, & preserving the Bay. The BP way.
