Before you start painting the walls of your home, make sure the surfaces are clear of any wood rot, mildew and other forms of damage.
Question: I am preparing to paint the inside of my house. I have never painted a whole wall before. I don’t even know where to start. Any suggestions?
Answer: Oh, I have plenty of suggestions.
Rely on the professionals
Once you have decided what to paint and the color, go to the paint store, not the paint department in a home improvement store, but an actual paint supply store such as Sherwin-Williams. The staff there knows paint because that is all they do. A paint professional will advise you on the kind of paint (flat, gloss, semi-gloss, etc.), the tools you will need, and how to properly apply that specific type of paint.
Repair and prepare before you paint
There are likely a few dings or cracks in the walls which you must repair before painting. Painting alone will not repair them. Even if you don’t have damage, the walls must be cleaned otherwise, you will be painting over dirt and grime.
The quality of any paint job depends on how well you prep the walls.
Sherwin-Williams explains in their Pro Tip resource, Know Your Substrates, that paint failure is generally a symptom of poor surface preparation. Thoroughly cleaning the surface assures proper bonding of the paint and helps you get the most from your topcoat. Other considerations:
