Proper preparation is crucial for a successful wood trim painting project. The process typically involves cleaning the surface to remove dirt and grime, sanding to create a smooth surface and improve paint adhesion, filling any holes or cracks with wood filler, and applying a primer. For previously painted trim, we may need to scrape off loose paint and feather the edges of remaining paint. In some cases, especially with older homes, lead paint testing may be necessary before proceeding with preparation. Our professional team ensures thorough preparation for long-lasting, beautiful results.
