Step #9 After we finish applying the paint to the main body of the house we use rollers and brushes to hand trim all of the trim around windows, fascia, gutters and corner boards. I didn't get any pictures of us doing that......sorry...
Garage Door Repair/Replacement
Thank you for the great job you did on my home. It looks great!! Every time I come around the corner I get a big smile on my face - I'm so happy with how the house turned out. Many of my friends have complimented me the "new look." Your attention to detail, and meticulous prep and clean-up really made the difference. I truly appreciate all the extra's - painting the outside lights, refinishing the front door, and staining the inside garage door. I really thought this was going to be a big job and a lot of mess, but your professionalism and extraordinary talent made it so easy. I commend you on your crew! They were very friendly, and helpful.
Siding
We use Sherwin Williams ProBlock Bonding Primer. First we spray a thick coat on the surface then we go over it with our back roller to push the paint into the cracks of the wood. One of the reasons that we used this on this house was to block out the tannins from the old redwood siding. If you don't prime redwood properly a tannin stain will eventually bleed through the finish coat. We don't want that to happen.
I will strongly recommend you to anyone I know who is looking for interior or exterior painting and will use you on any future projects I have. My experience with you and your company far exceeded my expectations!
Caulking
All walls will be inspected for any type of flaws and repaired with spackle, caulking, or taping mud as required. If there is grease in the kitchen area then it will be completely cleaned with Tn Sodium Phosphate (TSP). Doors, casings and trim will be sanded, cleaned with TSP and checked over for flaws that need to be repaired with putty, spackle or caulking.
Power washing the whole house is very important, because it removes all of the old dirt, dust and any loose areas of paint. In this video below we are actually power washing a different house than the one shown above, but I wanted to make sure you see how we do it.
