A good paint job isn’t just what you see at the end, it’s everything that happens before the first coat goes on.
There’s a lot behind the scenes: sanding, filling, caulking and uncovering issues that aren’t always visible straight away. On older homes especially, it’s common to find areas that need attention before any paint goes near it.
This home the timber is from the Noah ark era. So extra attention is definitely needed.
Proper prep protects the timber, helps the paint bond properly, and gives a finish that actually lasts.
It’s not about doing more for the sake of it, it’s about doing it right so it holds up for years to come.
A little extra care, goes a long way.
