Painting Prep: What We Do for Your Exterior House Painting

When it comes to planning an exterior painting job, there is much planning and preparation that goes into a job well done. At Durapro Painting we have a five-step approach to exterior house painting in Apple Valley and it is this very preparation and attention to detail that sets us apart from the rest. We consider most of our exterior projects to be 70% preparation and 30% painting, and we take prep work very seriously. We know that thorough prep work can ensure both superior quality and lasting durability. Here is a rundown of our process to help give you an idea of the quality in exterior house painting we can provide.

1. For starters we ensure all dirt and mildew is washed off your home’s exterior walls before we begin any exterior house painting project. Why? We know how important it is to start with a clean surface. This helps us ensure that the paint goes on smoothly and evenly and that dirt doesn’t cause the paint to discolor or look dirty after it’s been applied.
2. Second, we scrape and sand away any loose paint we find to be an issue. This helps make sure that your exterior house painting job goes smoothly and the paint goes on evenly so that there aren’t any unsightly bumps in the paint when we’re finished. We also make sure that all gaps are caulked because that keeps water and air from seeping into your home after the exterior house painting process is complete.
3. Primer is next. Primer is an essential step in the exterior house painting process, as it ensures the correct color of your paint and helps ensure paint goes on smoothly and evenly. And, paint adheres to primer better so it won’t flake off as quickly as it would without the coat of primer beneath it.
4. Finally, we paint! Most exterior house painting jobs take more than one day to complete, depending on the size of your home. At Durapro, we are extremely careful with our work and want to ensure you get the look you want for your home. After all, the exterior of your home is what most people see and is a reflection of how well it is maintained. The quality of your paint job not only improves curb appeal but can also benefit the value of your home as well. And, we take this seriously.

At Durapro Painting we stand by all of our paint jobs. Our labor warranty is a three year warranty compared to most other painting companies that only provide a one or two year warranty. We also adhere to the manufacturer warranty, depending on what paint you choose.
