Prep work in DFW
Wood Priming Services in Dallas-Fort Worth
Bare wood soaks up paint unevenly and cedar or redwood can bleed tannins through the finish. We prime trim, siding, fascia, decks, fences, cabinets and new construction wood with a primer matched to the species. Primer usually dries in one to three hours before the finish coat.

Reviews
Real feedback from State 28 customers
After another paint company cancelled at the last minute, State 28 responded the day I asked for a quote and came in and did the work within days. Good price and quickly finished. I'll never use another paint company again.
State 28 surpassed our expectations! Our home looks new & fresh. They took great care to protect floors & unpainted areas. Will use them again!
We had the entire house painted. The crew were professional, detail oriented and did a great job.
This is the best company I have ever done business and highly recommend them for all your painting needs. Connor and TJ are the most conscientious, knowledgeable, patient, thorough, trustworthy, communicative people I have ever worked with.

Why is wood priming important?
Primer helps paint stick, seals porous wood and gives the top coat an even base.

Usually one to three hours. We tell you the dry time for the primer used on your job.
Can you prime every type of wood?
Yes. We prime softwoods, hardwoods and engineered wood with a primer suited to each.
