Step 1 Powerwash Cleaning
All surfaces to be painted will be thoroughly pressure washed and cleaned. This step helps new paint to adhere to the existing surface and removes pollutants and dirt. Mildew will be treated and killed.
Step 2 Protect Property
All areas around the home, including shrubs, landscaping, etc will be protected from start to finish by drop cloths or poly plastic. Windows, bricks and light fixtures will be masked off to prevent paint from damaging these areas.
Step 3 Scraping and Priming
Loose paint will be scraped. Smoothing may be necessary for maintenance and cosmetic consideration. Primer will be applied to all bare wood and metal to assure proper adhesion of the new paint. The step helps to prevent further peeling.
Step 4 Wood Repair
Rotting, broken or otherwise damaged wood trim will be identified during our visual inspection of you home. Required repairs will be noted on your exterior proposal and brought to your attention. Top quality spruce, cedar or other required repair material will be installed for your repairs; other repair methods may be employed by our workers depending on the solution required for each home.
Step 5 Caulking
Loose caulking will be removed and replaced. Open gaps will be filled with new caulking to prevent rain water from penetrating below the surface. Loose nail holes will be reset and reputtied as necessary. Loose and/or missing window glazing will be replaced.
Step 6 Application
Only quality materials will be used. Application will consist of either: (1) spraying, (2) brushing or (3) a combination of both, as agreed upon prior to starting the job.
Step 7 Touch-up
Work area will be kept neat and the job conducted in a professional manner by skilled crafts people who are polite, friendly and work efficiently. Excess paint will be removed from windows. Touch-up paint will be labeled and left for your future convenience.
