Exterior Painting Contractors
There are any number of reasons to paint the outside of your home whether it be to raise the value of the home before selling or just looking to make a change. It is by far the most effective way to stand out in the neighborhood improve the look of your home. It’s not an easy undertaking by any means, so unless you are an experienced painter you will undoubtably run into trouble along the way.
We take care of all the details for you. We have some of the best painters in the business to make sure these difficult jobs are handled with the utmost care and quality. Here are just some of the things we do to ensure your home is taken care of and done right:
- Washing The Exterior: Every home needs to be pressure washed before painting. There’s dirt, grime, mold, and all kinds of particulates that have accumulated on the outside of your home. those all need to be washed off starting from the top of the house to the bottom so all the runoff runs down the walls as we move down from the top. Much like painting the interior of your home, we need the walls to be clean so the paint sticks evenly with no bumps or grit.
- Scrape Off Loose Paint: We lay down drop cloths and begin scraping off any bubbled paint or chipped paint and then sand them down evenly. If there’s chipped paint of bubbles under the painted area that will show through the new layer and disturb it over time, leading to it needing to be removed later and repainted.
- Sanding The Surface: This is a very important step as it creates a smooth and even surface for the paint to adhere to and dry evenly. It’s another painstaking process, but it’s details like this that make or break a paint job.
- Remaining Patch Jobs: After we have pressure washed, scraped, and sanded the area we will also check for any minor repairs that need tending before we paint. Again, this is another detail process that makes for a much better result when you finish painting.
- Primer The Surface: This is the first step in any home painting project. It creates a blank canvas for the new color to shine on. A blank canvas yields the best color results.
- Caulking The Gaps: Yet another painstaking detail that must be done to complete the finished look. We seal all crack, corners, and small gaps with caulk to not only create a nice finished look, but to also prevent moisture from entering where it doesn’t belong.
- Now We Paint!: After all of those detailed steps have been done, we can finally start painting the house! A minimum of two coats will be done to ensure even coating of paint has been applied.
