| Exterior painting can also dramatically improve the appearance and value of your home,it also serves another very important function,protection. Keeping your home's exterior painted will protect the woodwork from being damaged by the elements. Stucco homes will also benefit from a new paint job because stucco often develops small cracks. These are filled with elastometric caulking prior to painting. This will help keep moisture out of the voids and should aid in further cracking. The process for painting a home begins with a thorough house wash with a power washer. This removes dirt and grime and also removes any loose paint from the trim. Next, trim work is scraped and sanded if needed. We also will fill any voids in the wood work with caulking to prevent further water intrusion. Now that the home is prepped we mask off all the windows, concrete and plants to protect them from overspray. An airless sprayer is used to apply a thick layer of paint evenly over the home. Last any trim work is painted by hand and the job site is cleaned up and looked over for any further touch up. Keeping your home exterior painted will keep it looking new and it also will stand out if you are planning on selling. |
