When it comes to interior or architectural design, it's often said that a new coat of paint is the quickest and easiest way to make a dramatic change. However, it's important to remember that in the same way that a job well done can be absolutely amazing, a poor job can be utterly appalling. If you want that dining room to astonish guests or that shop façade to attract customers, choose the professionals from Harbour Painting. Their house painters have been providing the New London, CT, area with high-quality work since 1977.

A professional paint job begins with more than an empty room or a clean surface. For both commercial and residential painting, there are two major components required: surface preparation and primer.

• Surface Preparation: To ensure the paint properly adheres to the surface, new walls comprised of plaster, masonry, concrete, or cement need to be properly cured before any work can begin. For older surfaces, any cracks or holes need to be spackled and patched up. Previously painted or wallpapered walls need to sanded and cleaned of loose paint or old adhesive.

• Primer: To guarantee a smooth finish, true color, and longevity, any professional paint work requires primer. There are a number of different types of primer available, and what's right to use varies depending on the job. With nearly 40 years of experience, you can trust the expert house painters at Harbour Painting to choose the best one.
