Exterior Painting

Exterior Painting Preparation:

Preparation is a critical step in the application of a long lasting paint or stain job. A sound surface must be found and prepared properly for the top coatings it will receive. If we find any structural damage such as dry rot, we will bring it to your attention and appropriate actions will be taken to fix the problem prior to painting. We take pride in our craftsmanship and we realize preparation and protection are vital to the longevity of the job. The most important part of any paint job is not what you see, but what you do not see, underneath the paint.

Prepare:

Before we ever take a single brush stroke, we fully prepare all surfaces to ensure longevity and great looks. We set up and protect, cover or move furniture, floors and equipment to create a clean, safe working environment.

• Scrape — Remove loose paint with hand scrapers then re-scrape after power washing to ensure a tight, secure substrate.
• Clean/Wash — Power wash surfaces to be painted. Use mild bleach solution to kill algae/mildew.
• Sand — Feather sand edges where scraping has produced a ridge.
• Prime — Spot prime raw and rusted surfaces using the appropriate primers.
• Glaze and patch — Replace missing and loose window glazing. Fill large holes or voids with appropriate patching compounds.
• Prime — Re-prime patched areas to ensure a properly sealed substrate.
• Caulk — Caulk doorframes and windows, or wherever moisture can potentially enter and result in damage.
