Story

We firmly believe all steps in preparation are key to a successful paint job. "Prep steps" begin with pressure washing: the process of removing dirt, grime, mildew, and loose paint from the structure. The cleaning of the structure will be done from a few days up to a month prior to painting. This will vary due to weather conditions as well as the condition of the surface of the structure.

paint crew will operate out of a work vehicle or a trailer. Equipment will be stored in the trailer/vehicle at the end of each day. All ladders will be stacked in the back or on the side of the house. Preparation includes covering grounds, decks, roofs, and windows with drop cloths and protective coverings. The crew will scrape away all loose paint and caulk from peeling surfaces. Caulking is applied to all previously caulked surfaces and designated new surfaces. Vulkem sealant is the sealer preferred for all window and door seals. We use acrylic caulks for fill work and flat surfaces. Oil primers are used for most exterior surfaces, but some acrylic primers are used for composite and metal surfaces.

The finish coats are applied when all prep work is completed and dry. We use an assortment of exterior products from Benjamin Moore, PPG Pittsburgh Paints and Sherwin Williams. At the time of the estimate or prior to the start of the job, the appropriate product for your job will be selected.

Painting, whether exterior or interior, will be specified as one coat or two to attain full coverage. If we are matching an existing color and some parts of the house are drier than others, we may apply two full coats on the dry sides (usually the sun sides-south and west) and one coat on the remaining. If there is a change of color, two coats are always applied. Customers unsure of their color choice may wish to use Sherwin Williams Color Visualizer, a computer tool which provides a view of your home in a variety of colors. This service is free and should be arranged upon acceptance of the contract. If a color change is selected, we will sample colors on your home to assure that the correct color selection has been made; however, there will be a minimal charge for the quart(s) sampled.

We are staffed with skilled carpenters who repair or replace cedar siding, soffits, fascia, and exterior trim. Deck remodeling is available as well as door and window replacement specializing in Pella, Marvin, WeatherShield (wood) and Simonton (vinyl).
