GPC’s 10-Step Exterior Painting System – All Paint Jobs are Not the Same
Step 1: Inspection
A complete inspection is done and careful measurements are taken. We assist you in selecting appropriate products and colors especially for your home.
Step 2: Trenching
Where necessary, we dig a 4-6 inch trench along the foundation wall and apply a moisture-proof coating below ground level.
Step 3: Hydro Blasting
Many surfaces require “Hydro-washing” to expose surface defects and remove loose debris. *For mold/mildew and stubborn stains, a bleach/detergent solution will be used.
Step 4: Patch & Repair
Non-structural wood and masonry surfaces will be repaired to ensure a uniform painting surface. *Dryrot and termite damaged wood will need to be replaced prior to painting.
Step 5: Scraping & Feather Sanding
Loose paint is removed and the remaining paint is feather-sanded to eliminate rough edges.
Step 6: Caulking
Window and door casings are caulked to avoid moisture and prevent peeling.
Step 7: Masking or Shielding
Windows and doors are masked and/or protected to prevent overspray. Landscaping, fencing, decking, air conditioning units, etc. are covered and protected.
Step 8: Primer or Sealer
Where applicable, a specialty primer/sealer is applied for durability and to provide a good base for new paint.
Step 9: Primary Finish Coat
Paint is brushed, rolled or sprayed on as determined by qualified technicians using only the highest quality products.
Step 10: Secondary Finish Coat
The secondary finish coat is applied to ensure complete coverage and a professional finish. |
