OUR JOB IS NOT COMPLETE​ UNTIL YOU ARE SATISFIED

JO from Miraj Painting & Spraying

Important Information About Painting By Master Painter NZ

Many people have heard that with
painting, preparation is everything.
Well not quite everything, but it is
very important.
Expect this to be reflected in the cost
of your job.
Here are some of the reasons you ask
a professional to help, and may
explain some of the costs they have
quoted to you:

 Holes and cracks need proper

filling

Ask for good fillers, ones which

are right for the job.

 Old surfaces need good

preparation

 Appropriate safety and access

equipment is essential.

 Rotten or decaying surfaces

(especially timber) may mean the

surface needs work or the timber

needs replacement.

Your painter may be able to help with

woodwork, but often another

tradesman will be needed. Also note

that as a rule, newly supplied wood,

which has been exposed to the weather

for 4 weeks or more, is best if sanded

back.

Mould , water stains, wallpapers and

glue, old plaster surfaces, rust, and

flaky and powdery old paint are

amongst the things that pose

challenges. Old or raw surfaces often

need cleaning and sealing. Rust needs

treating. Old putties and fillers often

need removing and replacing:

cleaning and resealing with an

appropriate product is often the key.

Filling and sanding takes time and the

right products. Grime and dust may

not be obvious but surfaces almost always need cleaning.

Blistering, flaking and peeling of paint

on wooden surfaces is usually caused

by moisture under paint. Painting over

stains (for example, caused by water)

can involve special steps, as can

painting surfaces previously treated

with stains and oils.

Water problems need proper fixing

before you paint, and often another

tradesman will need to do this for you.

They are often a sign of a greater

problem and your painter will rely on

you if you say the problem is fixed. If

its not, and the paint job then fails,

your ability to complain will be limited.

If inside, the problem may be

condensation. Painting in wet areas

requires special steps to be taken.

Don’t skimp on costs if it means

skimping on preparation.

The cheapest quote may well be because

there is less preparation.
