Interior painting
A paint job is mostly prep. Alex does interior painting, and he also takes on exterior painting and staining.
What Alex does
- Walls, ceilings and trim
- Patching and caulking before paint
- Exterior painting and staining, including decks and fences
- Touch-ups that match what's already there
What good prep looks like
Clear and cover, patch and caulk, scrape and sand, dust off, prime new patches and stains, then paint with clean lines. Alex's own advice to homeowners is the same: watch for no prep, vague estimates and thinned paint.
Spot-painting a patch
A spot-painted patch can show a ring because the new sheen differs from aged paint. The usual fix is to repaint a whole wall or to a natural break, with the same paint and sheen.
Mountain sun
Strong sun at 7,000 feet fades exterior paint and stain faster. A UV-resistant product and a shorter refresh cycle on decks are the usual advice.
Older homes
In a home built before 1978, anyone who disturbs paint for pay needs lead-safe practices (EPA). Ask Alex about it before any scraping or sanding.
Where it gets bigger
Anything involving asbestos or lead testing is done by a tester first. Alex tells you where that line is for your house.
