Steps Involved in Paint Preparation for Moolap Homes and Businesses

  • Step 1 Initial Surface Inspection

    We begin with a thorough inspection of all surfaces. This helps us identify issues like mould, flaking paint, or weather damage—especially important in coastal Moolap homes.

  • Step 2 Cleaning & Mould Removal

    We pressure-wash exterior surfaces and clean interiors using eco-friendly solutions. Mould and mildew are common near the coast—so we scrub them off completely.

  • Step 3 Sanding & Flake Removal

    Old, flaky paint? Gone. We sand surfaces to create a smooth canvas for your new coat—whether it’s wood, render, or metal. Heritage homes? We’re extra careful (trust me, I’ve been there).

  • Step 4 Crack & Gap Filling

    We fill gaps, holes, and cracks with flexible, paintable fillers. This step keeps moisture out and ensures the final coat looks crisp—not bumpy or uneven.

  • Step 5 Masking & Protection

    We cover floors, windows, fittings, and furniture with drop sheets and masking tape. It’s messy work, but we’re tidy painters (ask any of our clients near Eastern Park).

  • Step 6 Priming Surfaces

    Using high-quality primers suited to each material, we prime surfaces for maximum paint adhesion. Think of it as the handshake before the conversation—it matters.

  • Step 7 Final Prep Check

    We do a final walkthrough to check all surfaces are smooth, clean, and ready to go. No shortcuts. No surprises. Just peace of mind, one square metre at a time.
