Home 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
