Prep first: how a Wrenfield project runs

The seven steps

1. Enquiry

   You tell us what needs painting, where you are and your timing, through the enquiry form or by phone.

2. Estimate visit

   We look at the surfaces at your home, by appointment, and talk through colors, condition and access.

3. Written scope

   Surfaces, prep, products and colors, coats and exclusions, all written down before work starts.

4. Scheduling

   We agree dates with you. Exterior dates depend on weather and may move.

5. Protect

   Floors, furniture, fixtures and plants are covered before any prep begins.

   What gets covered

   • Floors and stairs
   • Furniture, moved and covered
   • Light fixtures, switch plates and hardware
   • Plants and beds next to the house

6. Prepare

   Clean, scrape, sand, fill, caulk and prime, so the paint goes onto a sound surface.

   Prep detail

   • Cleaning and washing as prep
   • Scraping loose paint
   • Sanding edges and glossy surfaces
   • Filling, caulking and small drywall patches
   • Spot priming bare or patched areas

7. Paint, walkthrough and touch-ups

   The coats in your scope go on. Then we walk through the job with you and work through a touch-up list.
