The Impact of Proper Drywall Repair on Paint
Painting a wall isn't as simple as slapping on a coat of paint and hoping for the best. Instead, it is important to take a close look at your drywall to make sure it is clean and in good repair before painting in order to get the best possible results. The condition of your drywall has a direct impact on the quality of your finished project.
Importance of Proper Drywall Repair
Ensuring that your drywall is in good repair before starting to paint is necessary for your paint job to look its best and function properly. Whether you're painting the interior of a residential or commercial building, your drywall won't always be ready to be painted as soon as it is installed. Taking the time to make small adjustments to your drywall, such as filling holes and dents and sanding areas that are especially rough, is essential. Skipping this step can create imperfections in your paint job that may require you to repaint sooner than you would need to on properly-repaired drywall.
Poor Drywall Repair Leads to Poor Painting
Drywall that is not in good repair is difficult to paint properly. Not cleaning your drywall before painting can leave dust or other particles on the wall, which prevents your paint from adhering to the wall properly. Ignoring small holes, such as those caused by nails, instead of filling them in may create air bubbles that will make your paint more likely to peel after it dries. Excessively rough drywall can be difficult to cover evenly, which can result in uneven layers that create a blotchy-looking appearance.
