The Exterior Painting Process
Detailed Preparation and Power Washing:
The foundation of a superior exterior paint job lies in the preparation of the surface. We begin with an extensive power washing of the exterior to remove all traces of loose paint, debris, and dirt. This step is crucial for ensuring a durable, lasting finish, and it is one that many competitors overlook, leading to premature peeling of the paint. Our commitment to thorough preparation sets the stage for the entire project.
Trenching for Uniform Coverage:
To ensure that exterior painting extends beneath the ground surface for uniform coverage, we meticulously rake dirt away from exterior walls and foundations, a process known as trenching. This technique is applied on every project, ensuring that paint application reaches below grade for a seamless look and added protection against the elements.
Masking for Precision:
Precision is key in achieving a clean and professional finish. Windows, trim, and any areas not to be painted are carefully masked off to protect against overspray and ensure sharp, clean lines. This attention to detail is what sets our work apart and ensures a polished end result.
Foundation Waterproofing:
Moisture can be the enemy of a durable paint job, especially on foundations. We apply a special DRY-LOCK coating to waterproof the foundation, preventing moisture-related peeling. This preemptive measure is particularly important in areas prone to high moisture, providing an extra layer of protection for your home.
Scraping for a Smooth Surface:
After power washing, any remaining peeling paint is scraped away. This step is essential for creating a smooth surface that will hold the new paint well and contribute to the overall aesthetics of the project.
Repairs Before Painting:
Before the application of paint, we make necessary repairs to any drywall on patios or stucco textures. Ensuring that the surface is in perfect condition before painting begins is crucial for achieving the best possible outcome.
Caulking to Seal Cracks:
All cracks around windows, doors, and fascia are carefully caulked to seal these areas from the elements. This not only helps in insulating the home but also contributes to the longevity of the paint job by preventing water infiltration and the resulting damage.
Primer for Adhesion:
A high-quality primer is applied to every exterior surface before painting to protect from efflorescence, and other exterior paint issues. This crucial step ensures that the paint adheres properly and provides a uniform base that enhances the paint’s durability and the vibrancy of the color.
Painting with Precision:
Our exterior painting technique involves applying paint in both horizontal and vertical strokes to ensure even coverage. Depending on the specific requirements of the project, we may also back roll or apply a full second coat, ensuring that every inch of the surface is perfectly covered.
Trim and Detail Work:
The trim is given special attention, with two coats of paint applied carefully for the best finish. This detail work is essential for the overall look of the project, highlighting the architectural features of the home.
Finishing Doors and Metal Surfaces:
Garage and entry doors are sprayed for a smooth, flawless finish. Metal surfaces and accents requiring paint are treated with precision, using techniques that ensure a professional look.
Comprehensive Clean-Up:
Our commitment to excellence extends to the cleanup process. We ensure that no mess is left behind, with all coverings, masking materials, paint chips, and debris removed upon project completion. This step is as important as the painting itself, reflecting our respect for your property and our dedication to a job well done.
Final Inspection for Unmatched Quality:
The completion of the exterior painting includes a thorough inspection by the foreman to ensure that every aspect meets our high standards. Only after we are satisfied do we ask for your final review and approval, ensuring that the work is completed to your utmost satisfaction.
