For the “Recommendation 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.

We know that customer satisfaction and maintaining a spirit of excellence are the real success factors for our business.

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.

Brush vs. Spray For Exterior House Painting

A.L. Painting Co. recommends ...

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.)

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.
