3 essential steps to prepare walls before painting them

Painting

Have you noticed how the walls start deteriorating and the paint starts to peel off only a few years after the painting work is over? Well, that happens because people do not prep the walls properly. It is very important to actually invest some good amount of time in prepping the walls so that the paint lasts for a longer time.

There are three must-do steps which people often miss. These steps are necessary for both interior and exterior painting services.

Sanding

Sanding is the most tiresome and critical step. It helps even out the walls. Any bulges are smoothening out using certain tools by the painters. They rub the plates across the walls to remove any buildup of dirt, extra cement, wall bulges and etc. It helps create an even layer where it would be easier to paint. A lot of people tend to miss this step and it creates problems in the longer run.

Later on people find that their paint is not even looking on the walls.

Dusting

Dusting is another key important step which is often missed out by people. If dusting is not done properly then it leaves a lot of residues on the walls. This creates a lot of problems like uneven walls. In addition to that, it also creates a lot of future problems like water seepage, saltwater damage and cracking of walls. Bacteria inflammation can also happen if proper care is not taken. 

Priming

Priming of walls is another important thing which a lot of people should focus on. Primer is like the base coat of paint. Without a base coat, the paint will not go on smoothly and neither would it look nice. The colors wouldn't come up brightly and the overall look of the paint can be very dull without a good coat of primer.
