My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Scuff sanding

15 years ago

Do you scuff sand everything except a flat paint? Including trim, walls, and ceiling? My walls have a knock down texture, but I'm assuming the scuff sanding is gentle enough not to affect the texturing.

I don't remember ever seeing a professional painter scuff sand, but I'm assuming it's a good idea for sheen paints, including between coats.
