Typical work to discuss
The written estimate confirms what is included for your home.
Typical scope
- Testing the existing finish before recoating, because an oil-based original under a water-based coat is the most common cause of peeling trim.
- Degreasing and de-glossing rather than relying on a bonding primer to do both jobs.
- Filling and re-caulking open joints so movement does not reopen them through the finish.
- Sanding between coats on profiles where dust and nibs are most visible.
- Cut lines to wall and floor agreed, and kept consistent along the whole run.
- Return-to-use timing stated, since trim is handled and knocked before it is fully cured.
What to know before work begins
Existing construction, access and the layers behind the finish determine the sequence and scope.
Plumbing, electrical, gas and HVACWhen a project includes work that requires a licensed trade, the appropriate specialist is engaged for that part of the scope.
Other limits
- Trim with a failing existing finish is stripped or fully prepared rather than recoated. Painting over a failure repeats it and the new coat is blamed.
- Where preparation to the standard the finish requires is declined, the work is not carried out - the result would be attributed to the painting.
Do you provide materials?
