Absolutely, yes. It's critical that the source of the water leak is fully resolved and the area is completely dry before we begin any repair work.

Our goal is always an invisible repair. We use professional techniques, including specialized stain-blocking primers and careful texture matching, to blend the repaired area seamlessly with your existing surface. While a perfect match depends on the age and condition of your current paint, we strive for results that make the stain disappear as if it was never there.

If a stain reappears after our repair, it almost always indicates that the original water leak was not fully resolved, or a new leak has occurred.
