Painters Can Help You Recover From Fire Damage

If you have fire damage in your Dupage County, Illinois home, you can hire painters to help you recover from the damage. Your first step should be to have your property inspected. You’ll need to be fully aware of any damage, both cosmetic and structural, that needs to be repaired. You not only need to know this for your own home, but if you resell property that has not been fully repaired, you could be legally liable.

Once your inspector has cleared the structure of your home, you can hire painters to begin the process of repairing surfaces. Your painters will know that any surface will need to be prepped. He’ll see to it that the surfaces are clean, and dry before prepping. Simply painting the surface will yield disastrous results. With light smoke damage, the painters will remove as much of the smoke stain with chemical sponges. This is necessary, because if they just paint over the stain with a latex paint, it will only drive the stain further into the surface.

When the painters have removed as much of the stain as possible, they will allow the surface to dry. They then will apply a couple of coats of primer to the surface, letting it dry between coats. The primer will be a stain blocker, preventing any shadows from showing through the paint.

Once the stain blocking primer is applied and dry, two to three coats of paint will be applied. With proper cleaning, prep, primer, and paint, your home will be as good as new.
