STEPS FOR EXTERIOR HOME/APARTMENT PAINTING:
1. SURFACE PREPARATION:
Surface preparation includes cleaning up the entire exterior to provide a neat, smooth surface for paint application. Our house painters always chemically clean and pressure wash each house before starting. According to experts, having a good surface accounts for 90% of a good painting. Our professional painters will first check for peelings, chipping and other flaws. We will then scrape away the peelings and perform a power wash.
2. CAULKING AND PATCHING:
It is important that any cracks are sealed by our painters using caulk. Also, joints need to be sealed. We use 50 year caulk, so you can rest assured all joints will stay sealed. Any material that shows signs of deteriorating will be replaced; such as rotting fascia boards. Old stucco surfaces that are chipped will be patched up with new stucco.
3. PRIMING:
Priming is the application of a base sealer that the paint is then applied to. We will prime with a high-quality sealer. A quality sealer contains a high concentration of resin. It covers up the previous paint job, seals everything in place and provides a fresh surface that the new paint will adhere to. If it is repainting, the walls are likely dusty and will need a chalky wall sealer. This sealer is required because paint cannot adhere to a dirty surface. If it’s a new building, a latex primer will likely be used. If a stucco primer is applied, you will have to wait a few days until it cures. Paint cannot be applied until the primer is fully cured. Different primers have various times for curing.
4. CHOOSING HIGH QUALITY PAINTS:
We will then embark on the process of deciding which paint is the most suitable for your needs and house. Good paint is made of acrylic latex. This solution contains pigments that give the color, binders that adhere the pigments to the surface, and solvents which reduce the thickness of the paint. The solvents are mostly water-based. As it dries, the solvent component evaporates leaving the volume solids; pigments and binders. A good paint is one which has a high percentage of volume solids and strong binders which will hold the pigments in place for a long time. Unlike some of our competitors, we never use thin paint, rather, we choose the highest quality paint for your budget.
5.SELECTING THE COLOR:
The color you choose is ultimately up to you and not us. However, we will provide you with advice. Brighter colors fade sooner than darker ones. It can be quite the task deciding which color goes where to form a cohesive look. We can help you decide what will look best.
6. QUALITY PAINTING:
Your preferred color will then be applied. There are different quality painting techniques, and each job is unique. Some jobs may require multiple coats to ensure proper color saturation. We always do at least 2 coats on each job to ensure everything looks the way you envision it. .
7. INSPECTION:
The inspection stage is where we double check our work to ensure it meets our strict standards. Once we are complete, you will sign off on the work and enjoy your newly painted home for years .
