Why Choose Highlight Painting Service for Paint Preparation in Lara?

  1. 1

    Local Knowledge of Lara’s Climate & Homes

    We know Lara’s weather can swing from sun-scorched summers to damp, windy winters—especially near the You Yangs. Our prep work factors in humidity, salt air, and material expansion to ensure the paint adheres and lasts.

  2. 2

    Attention to Detail—Every Surface Counts

    From weatherboards to rendered walls, we inspect every crack, patch, and imperfection. Sanding, filling, priming—you name it, we do it thoroughly, because even the best paint won’t stick to a poorly prepped wall.

  3. 3

    Flexible Scheduling & Friendly Faces

    We know you’ve got a life to live (and maybe a dog that doesn’t love strangers). That’s why we work around your schedule, show up on time, and treat your home like it’s our own.

Our Step-by-Step Paint Preparation Process in Lara

  • Step 1 Initial Consultation & Surface Inspection

    We’ll meet you onsite in Lara for a no-obligation consultation. During this visit, we inspect surfaces for damage, moisture issues, and previous paint failures. This helps us tailor the prep process to your home or business.

  • Step 2 Cleaning & Pressure Washing

    We remove dirt, mould, flaking paint, and contaminants using pressure washing or gentle scrubbing—depending on the surface. Clean walls create the ideal base for everything that follows.

  • Step 3 Surface Repairs & Filling

    Cracks? Gaps? Rotten timber? We repair all of it. Using high-quality fillers, sealants, and patching compounds, we restore your surface to a smooth, paint-ready condition.

  • Step 4 Sanding & Smoothing

    We sand each surface to remove rough edges and old paint layers. This ensures better adhesion and a flawless finish—no bumps, no bubbles. Just smooth, clean walls.

  • Step 5 Priming the Surface

    We apply a high-quality primer suited to your wall type—be it timber, render, brick, or metal. This seals the surface, prevents stains from bleeding through, and improves paint grip.

  • Step 6 Masking & Protecting Adjacent Areas

    We mask windows, floors, light fittings, and anything else that shouldn’t get a splash of paint. Drop sheets? Always. We prep like pros so painting day is stress-free.

  • Step 7 Final Prep Check & Client Walkthrough

    Before any colour is applied, we do a final check and offer a walkthrough. You’ll see exactly what we’ve done and have the chance to ask questions or request changes.
