We believe the most important part of a job is prep work. It doesn’t matter how good the paint is or how many coats you put. If the prep work isn’t done well the paint won’t last.A quality repaint includes the fallowing-
Color Selection
Choosing colors for your home can be stressful . We help make it as easy as possible by helping you with the process. After choosing some different colors from a color wheel, we will apply test samples on your home. This takes the guess work out of choosing colors.
Pressure washing with TSP
Your home is pressure washed with TSP, a house cleaning solution. All mold, and mildew is removed from the siding and gutters.
Scraping and sanding of all flaking or peeling paint
Flaking, bubbling, and peeling paint is scraped. Just as important as scraping is sanding. Leaving a big paint edge is an invitation for water to sit and penetrate. This can cause paint to peel. We grind and sand paint edges smooth.
Areas with flaking and peeling paint receive a coat of PEEL STOP
Peel Stop is a glue like primer that glues down paint edges to prevent future peeling. A good paint job won’t last if the old paint keeps peeling.
Bare wood receives a coat of primer
All bare wood receives a coat of primer to properly seal it and prepare it for paint.
All failed caulking is re-caulked with 60yr caulking
Many times the caulking is the first part of a paint job to fail. We do our best to make it last by using the highest rated caulking on the market. When caulking has cracked or separated we cut it out instead of caulking over it. Common areas with cracked caulking include, windows, corners, and siding joints.
Body is sprayed with 1 coat of Lifetime Warranty paint
We spray a generous coat of paint on your home. For most homes 1 coat is sufficient, some older homes would benefit from 2 coats. We use only the highest grades of paint, and let you choose which paint company to use.
Trim is hand rolled and brushed
Gutters, windows, corner boards, fascia, and door jams are rolled with a small roller and brushed by hand.
Full clean up
Your home is cleaned after each day and at the end of the project.
Final Walkthrough
We do not take any payment till the job is complete, we do a final walkthrough, finish all touch up and leave you with extra paint.
