Prepare
Thorough preparation is the Laperle Standard. Inspect for wood or material damage. Holes and cracks in ceilings and walls are filled; stains are sealed and surfaces are scuff sanded to enable proper paint adhesion.
Walls: Wallpaper is removed, settling cracks are repaired and fiberglass seam tape is applied as necessary. Multiple layers of plaster compound are applied and sanded where needed to create a clean and prepared surface.
Caulking is applied where walls meet all casements, baseboards and moldings.
Woodwork: Surface is cleaned and sanded thoroughly to remove paint or enamel gloss. A bead of caulking in all seams and cracks in woodwork is applied and where woods meets plaster. Holes are filled with putty. One coat of oil-based primer/sealer is applied to bare wood on previously painted woodwork and on new raw woodwork.
Ceilings: Settling cracks are repaired and fiberglass seam tape applied along with multiple layers of plaster compound. Area is sanded to prepare a clean surface for painting.
Closets and Built-ins: Projects can include closets as well as cabinetry, shelving and custom built-ins.
