Interior painting, exterior painting, wall coverings and the interior finish packages that complete a project.
Falis Construction welcomes focused finish projects as well as painting and interior-finish work that is part of a larger renovation. Services may include interior painting, wall preparation, trim and related finish coordination where offered.
For remodels involving drywall, flooring, cabinets, doors or other finish work, painting can be coordinated as part of the overall project sequence.
Cleaning, sanding, filling and caulking. This is the majority of the labor on a job done properly and the first thing removed from a job that is not.
New compound, bare wood, stains and severe color changes each call for a specific primer. Skipping it shows as flashing — patches visible through the finish coat in the same color.
Masking, floor protection and dust control, particularly where sanding is involved and you are living in the house throughout.
Temperature and dew point determine whether a coating cures as intended. Minnesota’s exterior painting window is short, and working outside it shortens the life of the finish.
Yes, and running both together is usually the better answer. Fresh joint compound has to be primed or it flashes through the finish coat, so a repair handled by one trade and painted by another frequently ends up with a visible patch that neither considers their problem.
Typically primer plus two finish coats, though it depends on the substrate and the color change. A dramatic change — dark to light especially — may need more. Anyone quoting a single coat over a significant change is quoting a job that will look thin under real light.
Yes, and it is a genuinely different job from painting walls. Cabinet finishes need degreasing, thorough sanding, the right primer and a hard-wearing topcoat, because they get handled constantly. Done properly it is closer to a refinishing job than a painting one, and it is priced accordingly.
Within the temperature and dew-point range the coating manufacturer specifies, which in practice means a limited stretch of the year here. Painting outside it — including late in the season when overnight temperatures drop — compromises curing and shortens the life of the finish, so scheduling matters.
