Eighty Percent of Paint Longevity is in Preparation

Applying topcoats over unkeyed, dirty, or cracked surfaces is the number one cause of premature coating failure. At Elegant Prime Painting, our tradespeople treat substrate preparation as the defining element of our craftsmanship.

Plasterboard and Drywall Remediation

  • Hairline Settlement Cracks: Cut out in a V-groove, bridged with fiberglass scrim tape, and skimmed across three progressive passes of jointing compound.
  • Water Damage: Loose, bubbling plaster is cut back to sound material, sealed with pigmented shellac stain blocker, and flush-plastered.
  • Screw and Nail Pops: Reset with new bugle-head plaster screws driven into solid wall studs, countersunk, and filled.

Dustless Sanding Systems

We connect our orbital and drywall sanders directly to M-class HEPA dust extractors. This captures 99.9 percent of airborne gypsum dust at the cutting interface, ensuring your home air conditioning and furnishings remain clean.
