House Painting Surface Preparation
Quality Work Starts with Quality House Painting Preparation
Our house painting surface preparation processes are designed to uncover and repair existing damage, minimize future deterioration, and protect your home from water intrusion and air leaks. They also serve as the foundation for beautiful finishes. Our preparation techniques include:
- To begin with, we power or hand wash to release ambient dirt and organic growth including mildew, algae, mold, etc. A clean house allows the new primer/paint can adhere correctly.
- Scraping to remove loose and peeling paint in areas. We also address areas that we know have a tendency to peel or bubble.
- Sanding ensure paint edges don’t peel up and improve their appearance.
- Identifying rotten or damaged wood and discussing a range of carpentry solutions with you to ensure the home’s substrates are sound.
- Then we remove degraded caulk and applying new, high quality caulks or sealants. Particularly around windows and doors, to seal out drafts and water.
- Removing and replacing degraded window glazing/putty to stabilize window glass.
