When you’re investing in a fresh coat of paint for your home or business, surface preparation plays a huge role in the quality of the final result. Scratches, dents, dings, and nail holes often come with the territory — but do painting companies actually fix them? At Prime Time Painting, the answer is a clear yes.
Surface Prep Is Part of the Job
Professional painters don’t just show up with rollers and color swatches — they arrive ready to prep and perfect your space. Scratched or damaged walls are not ignored or painted over. At Prime Time Painting, we make sure all wall surfaces are properly prepped before we apply the first coat of paint. That means filling scratches, sanding uneven areas, and repairing small imperfections to create a smooth, flawless finish.
You won’t need to call a separate drywall expert or handyman. Our team handles light wall repairs as part of our standard painting process — ensuring your paint job looks fresh and your walls feel brand new.
Common Wall Imperfections We Repair
Before painting, we routinely take care of:
-
Surface scratches and gouges
-
Nail holes and wall anchors
-
Small dents from furniture or high traffic
-
Light drywall cracks or settling lines
These small fixes make a big difference. We believe that proper wall prep is what separates a “quick paint job” from a professional-quality finish that lasts.
Why Scratch Repair Matters
Painting over scratches without fixing them first guarantees a subpar result. The paint will only highlight the imperfections — not hide them. Our team knows that a properly prepared surface means a longer-lasting, better-looking paint job. That’s why we never skip this step.
Every scratch or dent we repair helps extend the life of your paint. You’ll enjoy better adhesion, improved durability, and a smoother, more polished appearance. When you hire Prime Time Painting, you’re not just getting painters — you’re getting experienced professionals who care about every detail.
What If My Walls Have Larger Damage?
If your walls have extensive damage (large holes, water issues, or structural concerns), we’ll assess the best next steps. For bigger repairs, we can coordinate with trusted drywall specialists or provide a plan to get everything back in shape before painting. Our goal is to leave no detail untouched — and no flaw uncovered.
