Prepping your interior walls properly is one of the most important steps to getting professional-looking paint results. In Winnipeg’s dry winters and humid summers, surface prep is essential for paint to adhere and last.
Preparation Steps:
- Clean the Walls: Remove dust, grease, or scuff marks with a damp cloth and mild detergent
- Repair Holes and Cracks: Use filler or patch compound
- Sand Smooth: Lightly sand to even out surfaces
- Tape Edges: Protect trim, switches, and baseboards
- Prime: Especially important when covering dark colours or new drywall
Skipping prep might save time in the short term, but it often leads to peeling, uneven coats, or bubbling down the line. For flawless results, take the time to prep—or bring in a Winnipeg interior painter from Prestige who can do it right from the start.
