The Exterior Painting Process

Preparation work

• We scrape/sand all loose and peeling paint down to a sound surface.
• We spot-prime all bare surfaces with sufficient primer.
• Wash or pressure wash chalky areas and mildew.
• Caulk windows and door frames with acrylic siliconized caulking.
• Glossy existing paint is sanded to help the new paint adhere better.
• We remove or mask hardware to protect it from paint.
• Wood knots and "saps" are shellac primed to prevent them from coming through the finish coat.
• Rusted metal is spot-primed with rust primer.

Painting

• Our painters apply the specified quality paint with the appropriate number of coatings. The manufacturer's painting recommendations are followed. Care is again taken to protect adjacent areas from paint.

Cleaning

• The painters will clean and remove away garbage daily. Our work staging area is kept neat, safe and organized.

Inspection

• After we carefully inspect the painted area, the customer checks the area with the project manager. After the customer is satisfied, a completion and feedback form is filled and signed.
