Painting Site Prep

Pressure Washing

Before we begin the preparation or painting of your home, we use a pressure washer to remove any mildew or mineral deposits or dirt that has collected on your home since the last time it was painted. The mildew is pre-treated with a solution of bleach and water to destroy the mildew and remove any stains caused by it.

We remove these contaminants to ensure a proper finish coat bond. The pressure washing also helps remove loose and peeling paint. While it helps, pressure washing does not replace scraping and sanding which will be done by our painting crews.

Preparation

All tasks done prior to the painting itself. Such as scraping of any peeling paint, sanding all the bare wood areals for smoothing, sealing of the cracks and construction seams, priming the bare wood. Aesthetic sanding can also be done, however it is not a normal part of our process,it is considered to be restorative.

If its restorative sanding you're looking for, let your estimator know at time of estimation. It's charged acording to material costs and time required for the special job. We will also protect your plants and walk ways. We cover the ground with tarp and tie back your foliage and cover them.

Masking

When we paint a home we take the necessary precautions to keep the overspray off of the unwanted items, properly masking all ares not meant for painting;windows, doors, light fixtures, and decks.
