Get a clean, lasting finish

  • Ask whether the quote is labour-only or includes materials.
  • Confirm the design in a photo or drawing before work starts.
  • Good POP needs proper drying time — don't rush painting over it.
  • Check past ceilings for straight lines and no visible cracks.
💡 Cracks usually come from poor materials or rushing the job. Insist on quality boards and enough curing time before painting.
