Hardie Panel & Trim Painting

Painting Hardie panel and trim requires an inspection to the existing condition to ensure the seams are correctly caulked prior to painting. We offer a 7-point inspection of your Hardie panel prior to providing our estimate to ensure we are paying close attention to the condition of the Hardie panel and providing a solution that will bring the substrate back to a like-new finish. The painting assemblies we use are recommended by Hardie and our painting manufactures, including primer, mid-coat and top-coat finishes.

Stucco Repairs, Replacement & Painting

Inspecting the existing condition of the stucco on your property is an important step prior to changing the color or adding a protective coating. Cracks appear due to the gradual shifting of your building and the seasonal weather patterns. Cracking can also be caused by the improper fitting of lath and an incorrect mixture of stucco. Our team can identify the different kinds of cracks and identify their cause. We repair all cracks in the stucco surfaces, ensuring greater stability. Our stucco painting service revitalizes faded or damaged stucco while allowing you to update your property's color and style, and protect against moisture, UV rays, and other environmental factors.

Painting Masonry, Brick, CMU, Stone or Cementous substrates requires varied product assemblies and inspection standards to ensure the proper repairs are performed prior to applying the coatings systems. Due to the porous nature of this substrate the mil thickness and number of applications will vary based on the substrate. We perform mil thickness tests to ensure we have an appropriate build of product for all masonry applications.

FAQ

How often should you paint the exterior of a commercial building?

The frequency of painting the exterior of a commercial building depends on various factors, including the type of paint used, climate conditions, and the quality of the previous paint job. On average, commercial buildings may require repainting every 5 to 10 years.

How much does exterior painting add value?

Exterior painting can significantly increase the curb appeal and overall value of a property. While the exact amount varies depending on the property's location, condition, and other factors, a well-executed exterior paint job can yield a return on investment ranging from 50% to 100% or more.

How long does it take to get an exterior painting quote?

We respond to inquiries within three business days, and aim to provide a detailed quote within a few days to a week after conducting a site visit and assessing the project requirements.

Is it necessary to pressure wash a building before painting?

Yes, pressure washing is generally necessary before painting to remove dirt, grime, mold, loose paint, and other contaminants. It ensures a clean and smooth surface, promoting better paint adhesion and enhancing the longevity of the new paint job.

What time of year is best for exterior painting?

While it can depend on the region, spring, summer, and early fall are typically considered the best times for exterior painting, as the weather is usually mild and conducive to paint application and drying.
