Section" in the Windward Currents Newletter.
Volker and Stephanie recommend
A.L Painting. Competitive budget and superb execution
on Power Washing, Caulking, Elastomeric Stucco Coating.
Trim painting and deck sealing. Lazaro and his expanded
team performed a beautiful job in a timely manner, even
considering weather and pollen conditions in order to
come up with an immaculate finish.
Very considerate on picking
the best colors and love for detail.

| Choosing
Exterior color(s)
-
The simpler your house, the fewer colors you'll
need. For an elaborate Victorian, plan to use
four to six colors.
-
Light colors will make your house seem larger.
Dark colors or bands of trim will make your house
seem smaller, but will draw more attention to
details.
-
For some accents, consider using darker or lighter
shades instead of changing color.
-
Avoid extreme contrasts. Choose colors that are
related.
-
Study color samples outside, but never in direct
sunlight. Bright sun will distort the color.

Protecting your home from the elements
with professional exterior painting is an investment, not
an expense.
The truth is, exterior painting is not where
you want to cut corners. Using anything less than a high quality
paint and premium painting supplies could make your home vulnerable.

Extensive preparation to the exterior surfaces
of the home is required when considering the desired results
of exterior painting. While spray painting the exterior surface
is appropriate, some home owners consider brush exterior painting
for a lustrous, rich finish that is hand applied by a exterior
painting professional.
How We Prep Your House
For Professional Exterior Painting Results
• Pressure wash the entire exterior
(removes loose and peeling paint, mold and mildew, dust
and pollen)
* Please allow a day of full sun to
ensure complete exterior drying
• Cracks and holes are filled in and sanded smooth
• Remaining peeling paint is hand scraped
• Bare wood is primed by hand
• Shrubbery, plant beds and flowers are covered for
protection
• Windows and decorative doors are covered with plastic
sheeting
Brush
vs. Spray For Exterior House Painting
|
A.L.
Painting Co. recommends ...
When
comes to woodwork around your house, we think
the main difference between, spray-painting versus
hand brush painting, is that you get a thicker
coat with the brush. So your painting job is going
to last longer.
We
think that spray-painting will provide good coverage,
on surfaces like the hardie plank siding, which
is the material home builders are using today
on the body of your house. Since it is made of
cement and a little bit of wood fiber, it takes
paint a lot better than wood does.
So
we recommend that if you have a house with any
hardie plank product, you spray-paint the hardie
plank product, and hand brush all the woodwork
that you house may have (cornice, windows, window
and doorframes etc.) This is going to allow you
to save some money while giving a good coat of
paint to your hardie plank.
On
the other hand, if you have a home that has wood
siding or masonite siding, a hand brushed painting
will give better protection to these surfaces.
But
if after our suggestions what you want is, spray-paint
your entire house or hand brush your entire house,
we can do that for you. We are here to serve you
in the best way we can. |
