What Are Some of the Interior Painting Services You’ll Provide?
An interior painting job will see our team plan and prepare a project with you, clean and ready any surfaces, sanding or filling in gaps and cracks where necessary, and then apply the appropriate coats to your surfaces. Curious about the different coats we might apply? Read below to learn more:
Priming
Primer is a coat applied before painting or staining that seals the surfaces, creates a consistent base, and ensures that the coats applied after, or the topcoat, adhere well to the surface. Different materials, such as wood or metal, have different primers, and they may be oil-based or water-based. Primer is more common before painting than staining, as it can help prevent paint from bleeding through, increase absorption, and ensure evenness, whereas stains may need to permeate the core surface in some cases. Priming is helpful for when you want to replace a dark color with a lighter color, or your surface is unfinished wood.
Painting
Paint needs no introduction, but it’s the layer that gives off the signature color of a wall or surface while hiding the unfinished look of the material underneath. Paint comes in a range of finishes, from matte paints that absorb light to glossy paints that almost seem to glow. Paint itself can offer protection from moisture, stains, and scrapes, but it can also chip over time. If you’re looking for a bold color that makes a statement, or you simply want to cover up the underlying wood and grain work, paint will get the job done.
Staining
On the other hand, staining a surface allows the natural look and feel of that surface to be more visible. Think of natural wood patterning that you’ve seen on beautiful floors, or an exposed brick wall that’s been stained to allow the red color and texture to shine through. Stain tones vary from light to dark, but all allow the traditional elements of the material underneath to remain visible. Staining itself can be a great way to communicate the natural elements of your home, but a proper finish is necessary to offer ultimate protection.
Finishing
A finish is simply the sheen of a paint or stain, which offers protection to the underlying layers. A varnish, polyurethane, or lacquer stain finish can seal the surface, prevent the underlying stain or paint from picking up scratches, enhance the underlying layers, and add a polished look. Paint finishes include matte, gloss, satin, and more, and an effective finishing layer will extend the lifespan of a project.
