Whether it is a home repaint or a commercial refresh, planning the steps makes the project smoother. Interior painters often spend significant time on prep, patch, and prime because walls and trim show imperfections under light. It also helps coordinate walls, trim and doors for a balanced look. If the home has stucco or siding issues, repairs and spot priming can help paint wear better over time. For commercial painters, the goal is often to keep work organized around schedules. When prep, repair and finish work are handled in order, results look cleaner and projects stay easier to manage
