How we do it

A water stain painted over with regular paint comes right back through. Damaged areas get cleaned, repaired and sealed with a stain-blocking primer first, then two finish coats so the repair blends into the rest of the wall.

Get the leak fixed first. Once the source is repaired and the area has dried out, call us and we’ll come look at it.

What’s included

  • Water stains on ceilings and walls
  • Smoke and soot staining
  • Drywall patches after repairs
  • Stain-blocking primer
  • Whole walls or rooms repainted so the repair doesn’t show

Damage repairs, coat by coat.

What happens from the first visit to the last walkthrough. Each step adds its layer to the drawing.

  1. 01

    Check the source

    Before anything else, the leak or source needs to be fixed and the area dry. Then we look at it with you.

  2. 02

    Clean

    Soot and residue cleaned off so nothing bleeds into the new paint.

  3. 03

    Repair & sand

    Damaged drywall patched, taped and sanded smooth.

  4. 04

    Seal

    A stain-blocking primer locks in water stains and smoke staining.

  5. 05

    Two finish coats

    Usually across the whole wall or ceiling so the repair blends in.

Questions about water, smoke & fire damage

Something we didn’t cover? Call (317) 220-5912 and ask.

Will the stain come back through new paint?

Not if it’s sealed first. Regular paint lets water stains bleed through. A stain-blocking primer locks them in.

Can you do something about smoke smell?

Sealing smoke-stained walls and ceilings with the right primer helps lock in staining and odor, but the soot has to be cleaned up first. We’ll be straight with you about what paint can and can’t fix.

Do I need to repaint the whole room?

Often, yes. Even a perfect patch can look different next to paint that’s been on the wall for years. We’ll tell you honestly at the walkthrough.
