How do you remove old paint from interior surfaces?
Chemical stripper softens suitable paint layers before we scrape and prepare the interior surface. We first check the coating, substrate, nearby fixtures, and access. Heat removal, infrared tools, or dry scraping may fit specific areas. Dust control and surface protection remain part of the work, and the prepared surface is reviewed before primer or finish paint.
What should I move before paint stripping begins?
Furniture and loose items should be moved away from the active work area before paint removal begins. Our crew protects remaining floors, fixtures, and nearby surfaces. Customers should also clear access to walls, trim, doors, or cabinets. The consultation confirms what needs protection and which preparation steps belong in the written estimate.
Which details change the removal estimate?
Coating layers, surface size, substrate condition, access, protection, debris control, and repairs change the removal estimate. We review those details during the free consultation and in-home meeting. The written estimate separates the requested preparation from later painting work, so customers can approve a scope that matches the property.
When is paint stripping better than repainting?
Paint stripping fits surfaces where peeling, buildup, or failed adhesion would affect a new finish. Repainting fits a sound coating that only needs cleaning, light sanding, and preparation. We inspect the surface before recommending the scope. Customers receive a written estimate that reflects the condition found and the finish they want.
Why does dust control matter during scraping?
Dust control limits airborne debris and protects nearby work areas during scraping. We cover floors, fixtures, furniture, and adjacent surfaces before removal begins. Customers should discuss room access and items that cannot move during the consultation. The work plan then accounts for containment, collection, cleaning, and the next preparation step.
