Interior/Exterior Painting

Step-by-Step Process for Interior and Exterior Painting Services

​

At Wicked Awesome Home Services, we take pride in delivering top-quality painting services for both interior and exterior projects. As a licensed and insured company, we are committed to using the best products, including premium Sherwin Williams paints, to ensure your home gets a beautiful, long-lasting finish. Below is a step-by-step guide to the professional process we follow, ensuring every project is completed with precision and care.

1. Free, No-Obligation Quote

We begin every project with a free, no-obligation quote. Our team will assess the size of the job, your desired color scheme, and any special requirements. We’ll provide you with a detailed, transparent estimate, so you know exactly what to expect in terms of cost and timeline. Our goal is to make the process as clear and stress-free as possible.

2. Surface Inspection and Preparation

Interior Preparation: Before we start painting, we take great care in prepping your home to ensure a smooth, long-lasting finish. First, we move or cover furniture with protective drop cloths and secure your floors to prevent any paint splatters. We also tape off edges, windows, and other areas that shouldn't be painted. If necessary, we will repair any cracks, holes, or imperfections in your drywall. After patching and sanding, we clean the surfaces to remove dust and dirt, ensuring that the paint adheres properly.

Exterior Preparation: For exterior painting, our team begins by pressure washing your home’s exterior to remove dirt, debris, and any old, peeling paint. We inspect the surface for any cracks, holes, or other damage, and we repair these areas to ensure a smooth base. We also sand rough surfaces and ensure that everything is clean and ready for painting.

3. Protecting Surrounding Areas

Whether working inside or outside, we take great care in protecting all surrounding areas. We use painter’s tape and plastic sheeting to mask off windows, doors, trim, and any other surfaces you don’t want painted. For exterior projects, we also protect landscaping, walkways, and outdoor furniture from any potential overspray.

4. Priming (If Needed)

For both interior and exterior projects, priming may be necessary for the best possible finish. For instance, if you’re switching from a dark to a light color or painting new drywall, we apply a high-quality primer to ensure the topcoat adheres properly and delivers consistent coverage. Priming also helps to improve the durability of the paint, especially for exterior surfaces exposed to harsh weather conditions.

5. Applying the Paint

We use a variety of tools to ensure the paint is applied efficiently and precisely:

  • Sprayers: For large, flat surfaces like walls or exterior siding, we use paint sprayers. Sprayers allow us to apply the paint quickly and evenly, especially on textured or rough surfaces. They are ideal for delivering a smooth, flawless finish with minimal brush marks. We take care to protect surrounding areas from overspray and ensure no area is missed.

  • Rollers: Rollers are used to cover large, flat surfaces such as walls and ceilings. They are especially useful for interior painting, where we apply the paint in long, even strokes. Rollers give a smooth finish and are perfect for drywall and smooth surfaces.

  • Brushes: For detailed work, such as trim, edges, and corners, we use brushes. Brushes allow us to carefully cut in around windows, doors, and baseboards, creating clean, sharp lines. This ensures that no area is overlooked and helps achieve a polished, professional look.

6. Back Rolling for Exterior Surfaces

For exterior painting, after applying paint with a sprayer, we often use a technique called back rolling. This process involves using a roller to go over the painted surface after the sprayer has applied the first coat. Back rolling helps ensure the paint is properly worked into the surface, improving adhesion and providing a smoother, more durable finish. It also helps eliminate any inconsistencies, ensuring an even, flawless appearance.

7. Multiple Coats and Final Touches

Depending on the surface and the color being applied, we may apply more than one coat of paint. We ensure each layer is fully dry before applying the next, giving you a durable and vibrant finish. After the final coat is applied, we inspect the job carefully to ensure there are no missed spots or imperfections.

For both interior and exterior projects, we take great care to clean up any edges, remove painter’s tape, and ensure that your space is spotless. Our team leaves your home in the same condition as we found it—without any mess or debris.

8. Customer Walk-Through and Satisfaction

Once the project is complete, we conduct a thorough walk-through with you to ensure everything meets your expectations. At Wicked Awesome Home Services, customer satisfaction is our top priority, and we’re not finished until you are completely happy with the results. If there are any touch-ups needed, we’ll address them immediately.
