Assessment and Consultation

The exterior painting process begins with assessing the property to determine the work scope, identify potential issues, and estimate costs. It includes examining the building's exterior for signs of damage, wear, or other concerns requiring attention before painting. Our professional painter will also consult with you to discuss your preferences, color choices, and any specific requirements for the project.

Proper surface preparation is crucial for a successful exterior painting project. This step typically involves cleaning the outer surfaces to remove dirt, mildew, and other paint adhesion contaminants. Pressure washing is often used for this purpose, followed by scraping and sanding to remove loose or peeling paint. Additional repairs, such as filling cracks or holes, caulking gaps, or replacing damaged siding or trim, may be necessary.

Priming

Applying a high-quality primer is an essential step in the exterior painting process. Primers help ensure proper paint adhesion, provide a uniform surface for the topcoat, and can enhance the paint job's longevity. Our painter may recommend a specific primer to achieve the best results depending on the condition of the exteriors and the type of paint being used.

Painting

Once the surfaces are correctly prepared and primed, the actual painting can begin. Exterior painting services typically involve the application of multiple coats of paint to achieve a durable, long-lasting finish. Experts use high-quality colors and advanced techniques, such as spray painting, brush, and roller application, to ensure even coverage and a smooth, attractive appearance.

Trim and Detail Work

In addition to painting the main exterior surfaces, exterior painting services often include trim, doors, windows, and other architectural details. It requires precise, careful work to achieve a polished, professional look. Our 404 Painter LLC may use specialized tools and techniques to ensure clean lines and a seamless finish.

After the painting, our professional painters thoroughly clean up the worksite, removing debris, materials, and equipment.

Protection and Maintenance

To protect your investment and extend the life of your exterior paint job, professional painters may recommend additional protective measures, such as applying a clear sealant or coating, depending on your property's specific materials and conditions.
