Basic Patching
Detailed Patching

Every preparation level includes all the points contained in the preceding levels.
Choose Your Interior Preparation Level
Each preparation level provides a different standard of surface preparation, finish and time allowance. Every level includes the work contained in the levels before it.
Basic
A basic preparation level focused on cleaning the surface so the new finish can adhere. Existing surface appearance is not improved.
- Surfaces cleaned by washing or hand-wiping
- Obvious loose paint removed
- Surfaces prepared for the new finish
- Existing paint adhesion is not assessed
- No patching or filling
- No smoothing of the existing surface
- Appearance is not the primary focus
Standard
Focused on good adhesion and long-term durability, with the finished appearance remaining a secondary consideration.
- Existing coatings visually assessed for adhesion
- Fill small obvious holes and imperfections identified during inspection
- Glossy surfaces dulled where required
- Spot priming
- Caulking of visible gaps
- Light sanding or abrasion of obvious uneven areas
- Texture matching is not included
Professional
A more detailed preparation level with greater emphasis on the appearance and consistency of the finished surface.
- More detailed patching and filling
- Filling large cracks and holes
- Approximate texture matching

A premium preparation level with an even stronger focus on the final appearance and smoothness of accessible painted surfaces.
