Proposed plan
The paint and repairing work will take 15-18 days. Our work team will comprise of 7 workers. 4 will do the paint job, 2 will do the repair work and 1 will supervise the project. The whole process will consist of the following steps
Preparing Surfaces
First, our team will scrape and remove all the paint that is peeling and loose. After that, they will sand the walls and surfaces, with a drywall pole sander, and make them smooth for priming.
Time: 3-4 Days
Priming Surfaces
Before priming, our team will wipe and wash the surfaces and use a primer to prime all necessary areas. This will provide an even surface so the paint layers can lock onto the exterior. This will include walls and the furniture too, including doors and windows. The primer may be applied twice.
If there are any holes or damages, we will seal and fill them up and then again sand and prime them. Also, if there are any small cracks, they will be patched and primed. Special care will be taken on the cracked areas around windows, exhausts, doors, shelves, and cabinets. We will caulk them and seal them. We will also do minor maintenance work if required.
Time: 3-4 Days
Finishing
After the primer, all the interior walls, ceilings, surfaces and furniture will again be lightly sanded to ensure a smooth finish. Fresh paint will be applied to all the walls, furniture, doors, and window frames. If needed, another paint coat will be applied. Light switches, regulators and outlet covers will be removed and cleaned and then put back again; if damaged, they will be replaced or repaired.
Time: 8-10 days
