When you paint over mildew without proper treatment, the spores remain alive beneath the new coat, causing the paint to peel, bubble, and discolor within months. At Paterson Cabinet Refinishing, our mildew treatment before painting process is designed to eliminate this issue at its source, ensuring your cabinets, walls, or trim are fully prepared for a lasting, professional finish. The work begins with a thorough inspection of the surface to identify all mildew growth, which often appears as black, green, or gray spots. We then apply a specialized mildewcide cleaner that penetrates the porous wood or drywall, killing spores at the root. After scrubbing and rinsing, we allow the area to dry completely—this step is critical because any residual moisture can reactivate dormant spores. For stubborn or embedded mildew, we may sand the surface lightly to remove the top layer of affected material, followed by a second treatment with a fungicidal primer. This primer seals the surface and creates a barrier that prevents future mildew from pushing through the paint. Unlike standard cleaning, our approach targets the biological cause of mildew, not just the visible stains, which is why it matters for Paterson homes and businesses where humidity and older building materials often combine to create recurring problems. ## Areas We Cover in Paterson Our mildew treatment before painting service extends to all neighborhoods and commercial zones in Paterson, including Riverside and the surrounding areas near landmarks such as the 7-Eleven on Market Street, Al Mazaq Restaurant and Bakery, Al-Hikma Elementary School, and Alhamdanya Sweets. Whether you are preparing a kitchen cabinet refinish in a Riverside home or treating mold-prone walls in a commercial space near these local spots, we bring the same meticulous process to every job. ## What to Expect When you book mildew treatment before painting with Paterson Cabinet Refinishing, here is what the process looks like: - A site visit to assess the extent of mildew and moisture sources. - Application of an EPA-approved mildewcide cleaner to kill spores. - Scrubbing and rinsing of affected areas, followed by a drying period of 24 to 48 hours. - Spot sanding if needed to remove deep-set mildew. - Application of a fungicidal primer to seal the surface and prevent regrowth. - Final inspection to ensure the surface is clean, dry, and ready for paint.
