5 Important Factors in a Great Exterior Paint Project

Most Important Factors in a Great Exterior Paint Project

As the leading Yorktown, Virginia exterior painting company we have completed thousands of exterior painting projects throughout the years.  We handle small to large exterior painting projects in Williamsburg, Virginia and the surrounding areas.  We have come behind great paint projects, but most of the time we come behind poor paint projects.  We have found the main reason for a poor painting project is from the lack of preparation.  A painter is only as good as the amount of prep they put into a project.  The worlds best paint can not cover poor preparation.

5 Keys To Profession Exterior Painting Prep

If you complete all these steps then it is time to put a high quality paint on your exterior painting project.

  1. Cleaning of all your painted surfaces. All surfaces must be free of dirt, debris and mildew
  2. Scraping of all loose paint.  We have found a 5 in 1 tool works great for this. 
  3. After scraping take a sanding block or sand paper and sand all edges and surfaces
  4. Extensive caulking with high end exterior paintable caulk. Make sure all cracks and gaps are sealed.  This will be the first thing that fails on an exterior painting project
  5. Protect all non painted surfaces to prevent paint on unwanted surfaces.
