House Painting Surface Preparation in Gilbert-Queen Creek, AZ
At CertaPro Painters® of Gilbert-Queen Creek, AZ, we know that great painting starts long before the first coat of paint is applied. Proper surface preparation is one of the most important steps in any residential painting project. In fact, preparation can often determine how long your paint will last and how polished the finished product will look.
Arizona homes are exposed to intense sun, dust, wind, and monsoon weather — all of which can take a toll on your home’s exterior. That’s why we take extra care in properly preparing every surface before painting to ensure a flawless, durable finish that stands up to the local climate.
Why Surface Preparation Matters
Skipping or rushing through preparation can lead to common paint problems like peeling, cracking, fading, and poor adhesion. Our team follows a thorough preparation process designed to clean, repair, and ready each surface, ensuring the new paint has a smooth, stable surface to bond to.
Whether we are working on stucco, wood, siding, or drywall, our surface preparation process helps protect your investment and provides the professional results your home deserves.
What’s Included in Our Surface Preparation Process
While every home is different, many of our residential painting projects in the Gilbert and Queen Creek area involve:
Pressure washing to remove dirt, dust, and debris
Scraping away loose or peeling paint
Caulking cracks, gaps, and seams to prevent moisture intrusion
Sanding rough or glossy areas for better paint adhesion
Priming bare or repaired surfaces to ensure even coverage
Repairing minor surface imperfections like nail holes, dents, or damaged stucco
This attention to detail helps us create a smooth, clean surface that maximizes the beauty and lifespan of your paint.
