• Wood Surfaces: We meticulously scrape and sand to remove loose and flaking materials and damaged wood surfaces. If the surfaces can be repaired, we use wood repair putties, epoxies, and bonding agents.  After, all raw wood materials are primed (as well as patches).  After transitional gaps will be caulked.
  
  
• Stucco Surfaces: Stucco/plaster surfaces are scraped to remove existing loose and flaking materials.  Where stucco/plaster has been removed, stucco glue is applied followed by the new stucco patching application (doing our best to match the surrounding texture).  Cracks larger than the width of a credit card are cored-out creating a “V” channel.  By creating this channel, we allow the same repair process to be completed on the crack areas.  All new stucco surfaces will be primed entirely following the repair process.
  
  
• Metal Surfaces: Metal surfaces are wire brushed, sanded, and sometimes grinded in order to remove existing rusted surfaces and to reach solid material.  After, a red-oxide primer is either applied to the entire surface or to the locations where rust had previously existed.  After the primer has been applied, a direct-to-metal paint will be applied specifically designed for metal surfaces.

Each exterior painting project is a unique, custom job. Our preparation process accounts for over half of the total hours on most exterior repainting projects, ensuring a high-quality finish that stands the test of time.
