Sydney House Painters should follow a few guidelines and the following process:


Surface Preparation - This is an important element of any painting project. Surface prep consists of 1. inspecting the property 2. identifying any evidence of chalking, peeling, or blistering of the surface paint, as well as noting any water damage. 3. Carrying out any repairs required.

Pressure washing - A pressure wash eliminates algae, mildew, dirt, mold, and chalking that accumulates over the years and restores a clean surface to the house. For best results washing should be done atleast 7 days prior to painting the house.

Scraping and Sanding – This is the preparation of the surface after a wash. This enables the surface to be free from any alien objects which may interfere with the priming.

Priming – This is done to the house prior to the first coat. Priming is an important part of the painting process and all professional painters will perform this procedure before doing the first coat.

Caulking - Caulking is applied water leaks, around windows, joints, among other places. House painters also proceed to mask any nooks and crannies that they wish to protect from paint.
