Surface preparations will include the repair of damage to walls and ceilings, (i.e. splits, cracks, nail holes, chips, indentations, and holes less than eight inches in diameter). Damage greater than two inches in size shall be repaired by means of wall board plug with backer, taped and mudded, filled, sanded, and smooth; all other damaged areas will be repaired with wall mud as needed.
