PAINTING
Lets all get on the same page to begin with. Even the highest-grade coating is only as good as the prep work underneath it. Although in some situations this work may be very time consuming and add to the cost, it is the most important step for a quality and brag-lasting job. Without it you will be frequently repainting with the same poor results. Some contractors may forgo the needed prep in order to keep costs low. At American Decorating, the finish coating will not be applied until the substrate or existing finish has been properly prepared. This is one of the reasons we have a no hassle 3 year guarantee on all interior and exterior painting work. Our detailed proposals clearly list all procedures, labor, materials and coat to complete the work.

Power Washing
A commercial grade power washer is used to remove any din, oxidation or contaminates that will lead to pour bonding between the existing and new finish. An untrained worker can cause substantial damage with this machine. We love experienced operators that can match the substrate to be cleaned with the proper tip, distance and angle that are required. Also environmentally friendly chemicals may be added (if needed) to thin the chemical injector for mildew killing or de glossing purposes.

Prep Work
Any existing finish that is peeling, blistering, or has poor adhesion is removed by hand scraping. This is followed up by sanding to the father down scraped edges. All protruding listeners are roiled flush with the substrate.
All surfaces not to receive paint will be dropped, taped or covered as needed. All ladders, roofs, etc. will be padded a protected to ensure that no damage will happen during work.

Priming
In some cases, a full coat of primer is needed due to the condition or makeup of the existing finish. In most situations spot priming of all bare and stained areas is all that is required. In either case a high quality primer that is suited to the finishes existing and to be used will be professionally applied.

Caulking
Caulking is a very important step to a quality long lasting job. It is not only a must for the paintwork, but also helps prevent water from damaging the substrate and entering the structure. All areas are caulked as needed with Vulkum polyurethane: sealant. We have used this product for more than nine years and feel it is one of the best products available.

Painting
We are finally to the procedure that everyone sees. There are too many different types and shapes of finishes to list. (hr experienced
Interior Painting.

Set Up Refute any work begins the area nods to be properly dressed. All items large and small must be removed or repositioned as to not interfere with the work. Any floors, furniture or other items remaining in the area must be properly covered. At American, the paint goes on the wall not the floor.

Prep Work
All surfaces need some type of preparation in order to receive a fine finish coat. This is where we excel. This prep can be as easy as washing or sanding the existing finish to replacing the shat rock. The most common drywall prep is repair of all existing damage such as nail pops, stress cracks, gages, etc. All repaired said stained areas must be primed with the correct type of primer. This is followed by a light sanding of the entire surface, which will even out any small residue in the existing finish and will create a good bond for the finish coat of paint.

Painting
Depending on the circumstance, the finish coat is applied with a brush, roller, pad, spray or a combination of applicator. This coat is applied without leaving any drips, bumps, sags or roller marks. At American our experienced painter will use the correct tool for the job to give you a quality looking finish coat.

Finishing The Job
We won' t leave you to clean up our mess. At completion of the painting, all debris from the job is disposed of at our dumpster. All floors and carpeting are vacuumed if needed and returned to the same condition as when the work began. Items moved are returned to their original position. Now the job is complete.
