Interior Painting & Prep
Yes, we repair holes, dents, and cracks before painting to create a smooth, durable surface. Our team inspects each wall for imperfections and uses professional materials for long-lasting repairs. It’s part of our commitment to professional-grade results.
Natural and artificial lighting can change how paint colors appear throughout the day. We recommend testing paint samples on your walls and viewing them at different times of day. Our painters can also help you select complementary shades that match your lighting and décor.
We ask that smaller or valuable items be moved before our crew arrives. For larger furniture, we’ll carefully cover and move pieces as needed to ensure your belongings stay protected. Our goal is to make the process as easy and stress-free as possible.
A full interior painting service includes surface preparation, drywall patching, priming, and applying high-quality finishes. Our team also protects your furniture and flooring before painting begins. When finished, we clean up completely so your space looks fresh and ready to enjoy.
Drywall, Plaster & Ceiling Work
Textured or popcorn ceilings are removed using a controlled scraping and containment process. We take safety measures to minimize dust and protect surrounding areas. Once removed, we resurface and paint the ceiling to give it a clean, modern look.
Drywall repair uses joint compound and patches to fix holes or cracks, while plaster repair involves layered techniques often found in older homes. Many Western New York houses still have plaster walls, and our team knows how to restore them seamlessly. Both services ensure a smooth finish ready for paint.
Wallpaper Removal & Surface Prep
We start by cleaning and sanding surfaces, filling imperfections, and applying primer where needed. This ensures the paint bonds well and delivers a consistent color. Proper prep work is what separates a lasting paint job from a quick touch-up.
Yes, Painting by Robertson safely removes wallpaper before repainting to ensure an even, professional finish. We remove adhesive residue and repair any wall damage so new paint adheres perfectly. It’s the most effective way to achieve a flawless result.
Exterior Painting & Pressure Washing
Typically yes, pressure washing removes dirt, mildew, and loose paint, allowing new coatings to adhere properly. It’s a crucial first step for any exterior project. Our crew uses professional-grade washers to prepare surfaces safely without damage.
Most homes in Western New York need exterior painting every 5 to 7 years, depending on materials and exposure. Sun, snow, and moisture can cause fading or peeling sooner. Regular maintenance and pressure washing extend the lifespan of your paint.
