Pet-Odor and Stain Wall Sealing Repaint in Warwick
Walls and trim marked by pets can hold stains and odor that come right back through new paint. We clean, seal with an odor-blocking primer, and repaint.
Scratched door trim, stained baseboards and lower walls, and a smell that will not quit. It is common in homes with pets, and in homes bought from pet owners. Regular paint alone does not solve it.
Why Pet Stains and Odors Come Back
Urine and other pet stains soak into drywall, baseboards and trim. Water-based paint can pull the stain and the smell back to the surface as it dries. The surface has to be sealed first, or the new paint just hides it for a while.
How We Seal and Repaint
Clean
We clean the affected walls and trim so the primer bonds to the surface, not to the grime on it.
Seal with a shellac-based primer
Shellac-based primers are the standard for sealing odors and heavy stains. They lock the problem under a barrier the finish paint cannot pull through.
Repair and repaint
Scratched door casings and chewed baseboard edges get filled and sanded smooth. Then everything gets finish coats: a washable eggshell or satin on walls and semi-gloss on trim.
Find the Real Source
Paint seals walls and trim. If the odor is in the subfloor or the carpet pad, sealing the walls will not fix it. When we walk the job, we will tell you if the smell seems to be coming from the floor so you can deal with it at the same time.
Washable finishes for homes with pets
If the pets are staying, a washable finish on lower walls and trim makes nose prints and scuffs easy to wipe off.

Questions, answered
Will paint cover pet odor?
Not on its own. The walls need cleaning and an odor-blocking primer, such as a shellac-based primer, before the finish coats.
Can you fix scratched door trim before painting?
Yes. We fill and sand scratched trim smooth before it is primed and painted.
What if the smell is in the floor?
Sealing walls will not fix odor in a subfloor or carpet pad. We will point it out so you can address it.
