Your home is your castle, and you want it to look its absolute best. That is where a professional exterior painting project can make all the difference.
A professional paint job includes many steps not taken by the average homeowner. This additional care and attention to detail results in a much higher quality job, which lasts longer and actually protects the house better than a DIY project.
The Veteran’s Painting Plus Process
There are 3 primary steps to an outstanding exterior paint project.
#1: Preparation. It isn’t enough to just tape off the windows and start spraying paint all over the house. That is how poor quality results occur. For a project you will be proud of, Veteran’s Painting Plus follows these steps in preparing your home.
- Pressure wash the entire exterior to remove all surface dirt and mildew as best as possible so the new coat will adhere properly and last for years.
- Caulk and putty is applied to all nail holes in siding and trim. All gaps around windows, window frames, doors, door frames, and all wood joints are caulked.
- Scrape any loose or peeling paint to ensure a firm, solid base for the new paint application.
- Spot prime all bare wood surfaces so the new coat will bond properly, and to ensure longevity of the new exterior paint project.
- Tape off trim, doorways, and other delicate surfaces to ensure no paint spatter.
- Cover windows, landscaping, and other appropriate areas to reduce over spray risks.
#2: Application. For larger areas a paint spray gun is utilized, this helps ensure more even coverage. Hand painting around windows, trim and smaller areas allows us to manage a flawless paint application.
#3: Clean Up. As with any great project there is no evidence left behind, except that wonderful new aesthetically pleasing exterior, and your bragging rights.
Benefits of a Professional Exterior Painting Project
There is value beyond just the aesthetics in a really great exterior paint job. Some of the benefits include:
Curb Appeal. Whether for your personal satisfaction, or if you are considering selling your home, there is no doubt your home will look better with a fresh, professional exterior paint job.
Weather Protection. Paint protects your home from harsh weather conditions including rain, snow, UV rays and environmental contaminants.
Insect Infestation. Your fresh exterior paint is a layer of protection against termites and other forms of pest infestations or damage.
Siding Lifespan. Paint increases the lifespan of your siding. Additionally, it is much more cost-effective to do an exterior paint project than to replace worn-out siding materials.
Energy Efficiency. Depending on colors, fresh paint has been shown to reflect some of the heat from solar rays away from the home. This results in an overall cooler home and the potential for reduced cooling costs.
