Home Exteriors:

Protect

Cover ground and plantings with drop cloths and thoroughly clean the work area upon completion
Protect roof and non-painted areas from paint drops

Prepare

Scrape and sand all loose paint
Most houses are power-washed to remove dirt and mildew, providing a clean surface for the paint to adhere to; the house is allowed to dry out after washing to ensure all moisture has escaped
Chemical stripping of wood as needed to remove excess paint buildup, or failing paint (we are also experienced in dealing with lead paint)

Apply

All joints receive siliconized caulking to prevent moisture from penetrating behind wood

Oil primer is applied to all bare wood before the top coat, improving adhesion and helping to block out cedar bleed

98% of surfaces are painted with brushes and rollers; we use sprayers on shutters, lattice or hard-to-reach areas

All surfaces are painted using rollers and brushes for maximum quality

Pressure Washing

Power Washing looks simple, but don’t be fooled. There are very important techniques to a successful cleaning. Amateurs SHOULD NEVER BE USED. Power washing can be very dangerous if not performed properly. High pressure water can go through many surfaces instantaneously.
