Prep Is the Work
Most of the hours go into patching, sanding, and priming, which is exactly why the finish holds up for years.
MasterBuilt Solutions handles interior and exterior painting on residential properties in Connecticut. Paint does not fail because of the paint. It fails because of what happened, or did not happen, before the very first coat.
Peeling, blistering, and chalking almost always trace back to prep. A wall that was not cleaned, scraped, and primed will let go of the paint. What is in the can does not change that. Prep is the job.
MasterBuilt Solutions covers interior painting, exterior painting, and surface finishing with one crew. Walls are patched and sanded, trim is caulked, and everything is primed before any color goes on.
We walk the rooms, note the repairs needed, and go over the color and sheen choices with you.
You get the surfaces, the number of coats, and the price in writing before we start any work.
Floors and furniture are covered, then every surface gets patched, sanded, caulked, and primed where it is needed.
Coats go on in order, then the plastic comes down and the rooms get put back together again.
Most of the hours go into patching, sanding, and priming, which is exactly why the finish holds up for years.
Interior work runs room by room, covered and cleaned daily, so you are not displaced for weeks at a time.
Exterior coats only go on when the temperature and the surface allow it, not when the calendar says they should.
Two over a primed surface is standard, and that's what the estimate is built on. A dark color going light, or bare wood, needs primer plus two. If a wall needs a third coat to look right, it gets one.
Exterior work depends on temperature and moisture, not the month. Cold or damp surfaces keep the paint from bonding, and it peels a season later. If conditions aren't right, we'll tell you to wait for spring.
Latex is dry to the touch in a few hours, but it keeps curing for days. We put rooms back as we finish them and tell you which surfaces to stay off a little longer.
Yes, that's most of the job. Nail holes, cracks, and old patches get filled, sanded, and primed first. Paint doesn't hide damage, it highlights it, especially where light hits the wall sideways.

Yes. Ceilings, walls, trim, doors, and closets are all part of interior work. Trim usually takes longer than the walls because of the caulking and the cut lines, and the estimate reflects that.
