Bright kitchen renovation
A clean, practical layout shaped for everyday use.
Painting and finishing
Preparation-first painting for a cleaner, more durable finish
Paint is the final visible layer, but the result depends on what happens before it. Surface repair, masking, caulking, sanding, priming, edge work, and a clean jobsite matter just as much as the color.

How the work moves
Three stages, one accountable team
Good sequencing keeps decisions from colliding with construction. The team defines the work before it starts, then communicates through each phase.
- 01
Inspect surfaces
The team reviews condition, prior coatings, repairs, access, and the level of finish expected before work is scoped.
- 02
Protect and prepare
Adjacent finishes are covered while repairs, sanding, caulking, and primer create a sound base for the finish coats.
- 03
Apply and review
Coatings are applied in sequence, edges and transitions are checked, and the space is cleaned for a final walkthrough.

Questions about interior & exterior painting
Do you repair walls before painting?
Surface preparation can include common patching, sanding, caulking, and related repair. Larger damage or moisture sources may require separate corrective work first.
Can you paint trim and doors?
Yes. Doors, casing, baseboards, crown, and other finish carpentry can be included in the painting scope.
Do you paint home exteriors?
Yes. Master Craft & Design lists both interior and exterior painting. Surface condition, access, material, and weather affect the project plan.
Can painting be coordinated with remodeling?
Yes. Painting is often most efficient when sequenced with drywall, cabinetry, trim, flooring, and other renovation work.
