Exteriors
We are experts
in all types of paints, stains and wood preservatives. Our thorough
process ensures that your house will remain looking beautiful
long after the project is complete. While painting the exterior
of your home, we take the following steps:
Protect
- cover ground
and plantings with drop cloths and thoroughly clean the work
area upon completion
- protect
roof and non-painted areas from paint drops
Prepare
- scrape and
sand all loose paint
- most houses
are power-washed to remove dirt and mildew, providing a clean
surface for the paint to adhere to; the house is allowed to
dry out after washing to ensure all moisture has escaped
- chemical
stripping of wood as needed to remove excess paint buildup,
or failing paint (we are also experienced in dealing with lead
paint)
Apply
- all joints
receive siliconized caulking to prevent moisture from penetrating
behind wood
- oil primer
is applied to all bare wood before the top coat, improving
adhesion and helping to block out cedar bleed
- 98% of surfaces
are painted with brushes and rollers; we use sprayers on shutters,
lattice or hard-to-reach areas
