Exterior Residential
Our Exterior Painting Process |
“You
guys were great and I am very pleased with the result. No question
I will pass your name onto other people.” |
~ L.M. – Rosedale |
Curb appeal matters whether
you're selling or staying. It tells the world (or at least
your neighbors) how you feel about life in your home. A professional
exterior paint job is like putting a smile on your house. It's
also is the most cost effective way toward keeping it in good
repair and saving on costly repairs down the road. Done properly,
it even saves you money on heating and cooling costs! But it
takes a professional painting contractor who knows exactly
how to meet current environmental concerns while properly preparing
your old weathered surfaces to maximize the adhesion and colour
retention of modern coatings to protect your investment for
years to come. In fact, ask us how we can guarantee your exterior
paint job for as long as you own your home. |

Set
Up:
Plants, shrubs, hedges and trees are carefully protected with loose
plastic sheeting to protect from debris and paint spatter. Also,
when and where appropriate, door handles, light fixtures and other
incidental hardware is removed or masked as needed.
We start with pressure washing to strip away all loose and failing
paint and remove all dirt, debris and pollutants.
Then we scrape and power sand away any remaining loose or peeling
paint down to a solid sound surface.
All exposed bare wood or metal substrates are then spot primed with
a surface appropriate primer to seal, protect and promote adhesion
of the finish coats wherever necessary. Knots and sap-rich grain
on wood surfaces are sealed with a shellac-based primer to keep them
from bleeding through the finish coats and all areas of rusted metal
are sealed with rust primer.
All gaps on and around windows, doors and door frames are neatly
caulked with exterior grade latex caulking.
Existing glossy painted surfaces are scuff
sanded to provide a "tooth" for
the new paint to cling to.
Painting and Staining:
Once we have confirmed your colour selection from any source you
choose, we have your paint or stain made to order by one of our top
name brand suppliers to meet or exceed the specifications required.
And after carefully protecting your grounds and property with drop
sheets, our paint crew skillfully applies two coats of your selected
colour by brush and roller techniques as specified by the manufacturer
and governed by our commitment to PDCA Industry Standards. The result
is a beautiful solid and consistent finish with the durability to
protect your home for years to come. We also offer an exterior painting
system with a Lifetime Guarantee!. Contact us for more information
about our Lifetime Exterior Painting Warranty and a free on-site
consultation to give you everlasting beauty and protection.
Clean Up:
Job sites are tidied every day with paint chips swept up from walks
and driveways and vacuumed from lawns and gardens, tools and paint
materials are stored neatly and ladders tucked away and locked in
an area best suited to your premises. At job end, the entire grounds
are cleaned thoroughly as needed with all tools, ladders and materials
taken away along with any remaining garbage if not conveniently timed
with your regular pick up. All we leave behind is leftover tinted
finish paint for your convenience in case of touch ups at a later
date.
Inspection:
Once our painters have carefully reviewed their work for possible
imperfections, you're invited to walk through the job with the project
manager to make sure you're completely satisfied. Any concerns will
be addressed and corrected immediately on the spot or at your earliest
convenience. Once you're satisfied you'll be asked to fill out and
sign our brief Project Completion and Satisfaction Form.
