🛠 Why Quality Prep Work Makes or Breaks a Paint Job

✨ Introduction

Ever seen a paint job that looked perfect at first… but started peeling, chipping, or bubbling just months later? 😬 Nine times out of ten, the problem isn’t the paint — it’s the prep work (or lack of it).

At JJ Painting Services, we believe preparation is just as important as painting itself. It’s the difference between a beautiful finish that lasts years and one that needs redoing in no time. Here’s why we take prep work so seriously.

🧼 Step 1 — Thorough Cleaning

Dust, grease, and grime may seem invisible, but they’re the enemy of good paint adhesion.
✅ We deep-clean every surface before painting — especially in kitchens, where cooking oils linger.

🪵 Step 2 — Sanding for a Smooth Base

Sanding removes imperfections, evens out surfaces, and gives the paint something to grip.
💡 We use the right grit for the surface — fine enough for a smooth finish, coarse enough to ensure adhesion.

🔧 Step 3 — Repairs & Filling

Small chips, dents, or cracks can show through even the best paint.
🎯 We fill and smooth imperfections so your finish looks flawless.

🎯 Step 4 — Priming for Durability

Primer seals the surface, blocks stains, and creates an even base for the topcoat.
🌟 The right primer improves colour vibrancy and extends the life of your paintwork.
