Interior Painting Tip 1

Why a Clean Surface is Key Before You Paint Your Home

When it comes to painting your home, color and technique matter — but preparation is everything. One of the most overlooked yet essential steps before any interior or exterior painting project is thoroughly cleaning your walls and surfaces.

Dust, debris, and even tiny pet hairs can create texture issues and prevent paint from adhering properly. A freshly painted wall should look smooth and flawless — but if you skip the cleaning step, you risk a finish that’s bumpy, uneven, or prone to peeling. Whether you're tackling the job yourself or hiring a professional, starting with a clean surface ensures that the final result is long-lasting and professional-looking.

Take the time to wipe down walls, vacuum around baseboards, and remove cobwebs from corners. For exterior projects, power washing is often necessary to remove built-up grime, mold, or pollen.
