Surface Preparation

Painting surface preparation isn’t just a box to check off—it’s what makes or breaks a paint job. At Salmeron Treasure Valley, we don’t cut corners here. If you want paint that looks sharp and lasts, you’ve got to start with a clean slate. Even the best paint out there won’t hide sloppy prep.

We start things by walking through the space and really looking at every surface. Dirt, peeling paint, cracks, old water stains—we find it all. Then we get to work cleaning. Dust, grease, mildew, and whatever else is lurking get scrubbed away. For exteriors, we’ll usually break out the pressure washer. It’s the fastest way to get everything down to a fresh base.

If we spot any rough patches or damage, we fix them right away with wall preparation for painting. That means scraping off loose paint, sanding down bumpy spots, filling in holes and cracks, and patching up wood or drywall if it’s seen better days. Once everything feels smooth, we roll on a top-quality primer where it’s needed. That helps the paint stick and keeps the color even.

We use professional-grade tools and the right techniques for each surface, but we never lose sight of the details. And we’re careful with your space—floors, furniture, landscaping, you name it. You won’t find a mess when we’re done. We always start from Drywall repair & paint prep so that smoothen results can be achieved. 

Getting the preparation right does more than make the paint look good. It keeps it looking good—no peeling, bubbling, or fading before its time. That’s why, at Salmeron Treasure Valley, we believe a great paint job starts long before the first brushstroke. Surface prep is where quality begins.
