SCHEDULING EXTERIOR PAINTING

Please keep in mind that unlike interior painting, exterior painting can have it’s limitations due to weather. If foul weather occurs we will return back to the job site as soon as it’s suitable to paint again. The exterior season is short. We usually book up quickly. Call early in the season for an estimate and get your work booked as soon as possible to avoid scrambling for a painter prior to the season ending. We start doing our exterior quotes in early March. We don’t do them earlier because we like to see how your house exterior has faired through the winter months.

THE PROCESS

A DETAILED LOOK AT OUR PROCESS

01.

POWERWASHING

Our exterior painting process starts with powerwashing and cleaning the whole exterior. During powerwashing we are concerned with cleaning the painted surfaces as well as removing as much old paint and debris as possible.

02.

SCRAPING

After powerwashing our crew will assess the surface. Depending on the material being painted, we will scrape all areas that need extra paint removed. Scraping the house is essential to the longevity of the paint job, and is a step many painters skip. *Not all surfaces require scraping, for example, vinyl siding that has not been painted would not be scraped.

03.

SANDING

The next step in preparing the surface is to spot sand all frayed wood that may have splintered and is in need of attention after the prepping stages. Then our crew will inspect the house and wood putty or caulk any additional problem areas.

04.

PROTECTING

Before the painting begins, we tarp off plants, bush’s ect to protect your yard. Then we go around and plastic/protect all windows and doors that are not being painted.

05.

PAINT

Finally it is time to paint. We will apply the first coat with a sprayer and then brush the paint back in where necessary. This step is also skipped often by other painters and is necessary to get the paint into grooves or older wood surfaces. Then the second coat is sprayed to give a nice clean surface. Then lastly we trim in all windows, doors and accent pieces.

06.

CLEAN

After all the painting is done, our crew will clean windows and inspect the house for any touch ups or areas in need of more paint. Then we clean up the yard and leave you with a beautiful home to enjoy for years to come!
