On large surfaces they quickly cause visible streaks, shadows or uneven transitions, especially on white walls. In older Altbau buildings and heavily used rooms, the final result depends heavily on preparation and technique.<\/p><figure style=\"margin:30px 0;\"><img src=\"https:\/\/new.alexihome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/blog-1-2.jpg\" alt=\"A clean coat of paint starts with a well-prepared surface.\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:12px;display:block;\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:14px;color:#7a8088;margin-top:10px;text-align:center;\">A clean coat of paint starts with a well-prepared surface.<\/figcaption><\/figure><h2 style=\"font-size:27px;line-height:1.3;color:#2c2e3d;font-weight:700;margin:40px 0 16px;padding-left:16px;border-left:5px solid #1d9021;\">Preparation Is the Most Important Step<\/h2><p>An often underestimated factor in any apartment painting project is surface preparation.
