QUESTION 15 OF 25

Do you have experience patching holes? If a hole is roughly 4-6 inches in diameter, what do you do?

Being able to properly prep for larger jobs is very important in painting. Display that you have knowledge when it comes to prepping a damaged area before painting. Tell the hiring manager how you would go about patching a larger hole.

"If I came across a large hole, I would run a strip of fiberglass drywall tape around the patch, then spread drywall joint compound across the patch and tape to create a smooth, flat surface. A couple coats of that should do. Once it's dry, I would paint over it."
