Paint Removal & Surface Preparation in Fremont, CA
Authority Painting provides paint removal and surface preparation in Fremont, Alameda County, and the East Bay. Removing failing paint and preparing surfaces properly gives a new coating a sound base.
When paint removal is needed
Not every project needs full paint removal. It is more likely to come up with:
- Peeling, flaking, or blistering paint
- Many built-up layers that hide detail
- Surfaces where the old coating has failed
- Changes in coating type that need a clean base
Surface preparation
Preparation can include cleaning, scraping, sanding, filling, caulking, and priming, depending on the surface and the agreed scope. It is often the part of a painting project that matters most to how long the finish lasts.
Older homes and older paint
Older properties may have paint layers that contain lead. If your home or building may have older paint, mention it during the estimate so it can be taken into account before any surface is disturbed. See lead paint mitigation for more information.

Does every surface need its old paint removed?
No. Many surfaces only need cleaning, light sanding, and priming. The right level of preparation depends on condition and is discussed during the estimate.
My home is older. Does that matter?
It can. Older paint may contain lead, so let Authority Painting know the age of your property when you request an estimate.
Is surface preparation included with painting?
