Exterior painting helps to make your home more visually appealing and increases the value of your property. However, before the project can begin, exterior painting prep must be completed to ensure your exterior paint job is the best quality it can possibly be.
There are a few methods of exterior painting prep that we use on a regular basis, such as peeling paint removal, pressure washing, priming uncoated surfaces, and wood rot repair.
- Peeling paint removal is a service we offer for both interior and exterior painting prep jobs. There are several reasons why paint may begin peeling. Perhaps the paint wasn’t applied to a surface that was properly prepared or cleaned for it. Moisture damage can also cause peeling paint, especially outdoors. It is important to remove peeling paint prior to a new paint job so that the new paint will go on evenly and last for a long time.
- Pressure washing is an exterior painting prep service that is only offered for exteriors. Pressure washing uses a high volume of water pressure to provide a clean surface upon which to apply a new coat of paint. This method does well with removing dirt, grime, and other buildup from outdoor surfaces.
- Priming uncoated surfaces is important for porous materials. Porous surfaces tend to absorb some of the paint, leaving the final painting product looking patchy or uneven. Priming creates a smooth surface upon porous materials to apply a fresh coat of paint.
- Wood rot repair is necessary for wood that has sustained damage when exposed to moisture. Our experienced team will inspect the area that has wood rot and determine a plan to solve the problem. One of our main goals is to provide a long-lasting solution so that you will not experience wood rot again anytime soon.
