The TruEdge™ 27-Point Inspection

Most painters “look it over.” We inspect it — systematically.

Before, during, and after every project, we run through our structured 27-point checklist to eliminate missed details and ensure durability.

Pre-Project & Surface Evaluation

1. Moisture check where applicable

2. Substrate condition assessment

3. Caulking and seam inspection

4. Nail pops & drywall flaws identified

5. Rust and corrosion inspection

6. Adhesion check on existing coatings

7. Ventilation & airflow plan

Protection & Preparation

8. Floor covering placement

9. Furniture protection & staging

10. Masking of fixtures & hardware

11. Surface cleaning & degreasing

12. Sanding & feathering transitions

13. Crack & joint reinforcement

14. Spot priming & stain blocking

15. Rust-inhibitive treatment (when needed)

Application Standards

16. Product verification

17. Proper film thickness control

18. Even coverage confirmation

19. Cut-line sharpness inspection

20. Dry time compliance

21. Environmental condition check

Final Quality Control

22. Full lighting walk-through

23. Touch-up verification

24. Hardware & plate reinstallation

25. Cleanup verification

26. Client walk-through review

27. Final approval documentation

This process removes guesswork and dramatically increases finish longevity.
