Surface Preparation, the Key to a Lasting Finish

Can you identify the key to a beautiful, lasting exterior paint finish? Many people are surprised to learn that it isn’t found in using quality paint alone, or proper application techniques (as important as those things are). The key to an enduring finish is skilled, thorough surface preparation.

Pressure washing, scraping, stripping, sanding–it’s dirty, hard, but necessary work. In fact, more than fifty percent of the time spent working on a home’s exterior finish should be devoted to surface preparation. This kind of preparation is particularly important here in New England where we experience such a wide range of weather. Historic homes (100-400 years old) are especially vulnerable because their thick layers of loose paint become too brittle to flex with seasonal changes of humidity and temperature.

  • Pressure washing of exterior surfaces, siding, decks, roofs and walkways
  • Paint and stain finishes
  • Paint failure analysis
  • Weatherproofing and caulking
  • Exotic wood finishes
  • Wrought iron
  • Light carpentry
  • Gutter cleaning and oiling
  • Window repairs including glass replacement and sash ropes
