A Goleta house being prepared for sale was painted throughout the interior for the realtor Kathy Strand Spieler of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties, with a light refresh outside. The old wallpaper came off everywhere, and the walls were skim coated, sanded and primed. The dark wood panelling in the living room, the oil-based trim and the veneer doors were primed with shellac, sanded and caulked so they could be painted, and the primary bathroom walls were primed with shellac and skim coated.

The acoustic ceilings were patched and sprayed with two coats of flat paint, the doors and trim were sprayed in satin, and the walls then got two coats. Outside, we pressure washed lightly and painted the fascia boards and a section of the eaves. The kitchen cabinets and the garage interior were not part of the job.
