 Our painting contractors will fully prepare the interior of your home and protect all of your belongings. Flooring is protected with drop cloths, Builder’s paper, or plastic and taped down at the edges. Furniture is moved away from walls and protected with plastic or drop cloths. Switch plates, outlet covers, and window blinds/shades are removed. All surface mounted or hanging light fixtures, and all window glass is protected with plastic and/or painter’s tape. 

 Our painting contractors also have the skills to perform complex repairs in your home; these will be specifically noted on your estimate. These include replacing or repairing sheet rock; scraping; taping; texturing; sanding; removing wall paper; and caulking cracks.

 All buildings will have layers of dirt, mildew, algae and/or cobwebs that require removal prior to the application of any products. Power washing is one of the most important steps in preparing the home for exterior painting and is crucial in ensuring that the paint will adhere properly. Our skilled professionals will treat your home with a diluted bleach and water solution, or TSP, to help kill mold and mildew. We power wash with the right cleaners and nozzles for the job, then allow the time necessary for surfaces to dry properly. Southern Painting will never power wash and paint in the same day. 

 Loose paint must be removed after power washing so that the paint adheres correctly and will last longer. We do this the old-fashioned way by scraping, by hand, with knives and wire brushes to remove peeling, bubbled, or loose paint. This ensures a smooth and tight surface for painting. Loose boards are nailed down, and our experienced crew can handle most repairs. At Southern Painting, we will always clean up the mess when we are done too.

 We caulk seams, joints, cracks, nail holes, and major wood joints. Any loose glazing is removed and replaced in order to ensure a tight seal and reduce air leaks and moisture entry points in vulnerable areas. We use siliconized latex caulk on all exterior entrances, structural joints, and wood windows.
