Prepaing your the exterior of your house and the surrounding area
Site Preparation is systematic
Site Inspection: Conduct a thorough assessment of the house's exterior, noting any issues like peeling paint, cracks, or wood rot.
Surface Cleaning: Remove dirt, grime, and loose paint using pressure washing, ensuring a clean and smooth surface for paint adhesion.
Scraping and Sanding: Scrape off loose or peeling paint and sand rough surfaces to create a smooth and even finish.
Caulking: Seal gaps and cracks in the siding, trim, and other surfaces with high-quality caulk to prevent moisture infiltration.
Priming: Apply a suitable primer to the entire exterior or specific problem areas, such as raw wood or stained surfaces.
Repairs: We can replace damaged or rotted wood, repair cracks or holes, and fix any structural issues to ensure a solid foundation for painting.
Masking and Taping: Carefully tape and mask areas like windows, doors, trim, and hardware to protect them from paint splatter.
Drop Cloth Placement: Cover the surrounding landscape, walkways, and other surfaces to protect them from paint drips and spills.
Color Selection: Help homeowners choose the right paint color and type for their exterior, considering factors like climate and architectural style.
Weather Considerations: Check the weather forecast and schedule the project during a period of consistent and favorable weather conditions.
Proper Tools and Equipment: Ensure that all paintbrushes, rollers, sprayers, and other equipment are in good condition and appropriate for the task.
