Our commitment to your satisfaction also includes applying our industry knowledge and years of experience to answer your questions. Here are answers to the most frequently asked questions about basement painting.

Do I need special paint for my basement walls?

Yes, basement walls often require a specific type of paint due to potential moisture issues. We typically use a durable acrylic latex paint with mildew resistance, but for concrete walls, we might suggest a masonry paint or epoxy coating for maximum protection. We can even work on your brick wall and give it the desired finish once we understand your basement goals.

How do I prepare my basement for painting?

Depending on which part of the basement you are looking to paint, you want to clear as much space as possible. Anything that can’t be moved, will be covered to protect it from paint splatters.

For a stress-free experience, a team of trusted service professionals will handle the prep work, including cleaning off chipping paint, patching imperfections, and priming the walls.
