How to Prepare Walls for Painting in Woodstock

Woodstock's Victorian and Edwardian housing stock demands careful preparation. The oldest homes (pre-1940) frequently have original lime plaster - breathable primer only, never standard acrylic. High-pressure wash all exterior surfaces. Apply fungicidal treatment on mountain-facing and shaded walls. Assess plaster condition thoroughly - over a century of movement creates complex crack patterns requiring correct filling. Fill with flexible filler. For lime plaster, assess whether old synthetic paint layers are trapping moisture and causing blistering - stripping may be required. Apply breathable primer. See our full guide.
