Wall Prep: Spackling & Fixture Removal
At 1:57 in
Jobsite SEQUENCING. What To Paint FIRST?
What happens here
While other preparatory tasks are underway, assign one person to methodically inspect all walls for holes or damage. Use spackle to fill any holes, particularly those larger than a pinhole (e.g., dime-sized or larger), as these require sufficient drying time before painting. Simultaneously, this individual should remove all electrical switch plates and outlet covers from the walls to allow for clean, unhindered painting right up to the electrical boxes.
Goal: Designate a team member to spackle any holes or imperfections on the walls and remove all electrical switch plates and outlet covers. This ensures a smooth surface for painting and avoids painting around fixtures.
