A Thorough, Complete Process

There are many times when a home owner has questions about the process of painting their house. There are preparation and painting procedures for a typical home that we follow, we have found over the years that following this process ensures that your home will be painted on time.

Home owner selects all colors before work begins. Samples can be applied if requested. If the entire house needs priming, primer coat will be tinted to approximate color of finish coat color. This will allow homeowner a chance to see the color on the whole house
Home owner to close all windows and storm windows. If you are unable to do this due to physical or other reasons, we will make arrangements with you to get this step done.

We will tape or cover the exterior of all windows with plastic before we begin the sanding process

Caulk and putty holes, cracks, voids, etc., using only premium grade materials
