Enhanced durability, guaranteed precision!

Enhanced durability, guaranteed precision!

Our team produces consistent quality by following specific preparation and application methods suggested by paint and siding manufacturers. We use premium Benjamin Moore Paints to offer your home a protective finish that looks great for many years to come. We take preparation to the next level by first power washing all exterior surfaces.  Then we go through every square inch of the exterior with a fine comb looking for any peeling or chipping paint, dry rot, nail holes, cracks, and gaps.

We offer you more!

Every project starts with masking and cover-up.  We protect windows, roofing, walkways, plants, or any other surface that is not being painted.  Exterior lights, thermometers, and other similar items are removed from the house, while other items, such as patio furniture are placed a safe distance away.

We extend the life of your siding!

We remove any loose or chipping paint using hand scrapers and disk sanders. We remove any currently failing paint, but also anything that might fail in the next few years. We take special care to always go with the grain and avoid damage. At this stage of the process, we replace any dry-rotted pieces of siding.

we protect your siding against our damp Northwest weather!

We prime all bare spots using premium oil based primers.  Primer is brushed or rolled to ensure proper penetration and adhesion.  Our one hour drying primer is then ready for the next step of the preparation.

Best caulking materials to seal the moisture out!

Caulking plays a major role in sealing our homes in our damp Northwest climate.   we use top quality Benjamin Moore caulking and sealants to fill any nail holes, joints, cracks and gaps. Hardie-Plank siding:  All butt-joints are caulked to prevent moisture from penetrating behind the pieces.  On all artificial siding, we use a Polyurethane based material called SIKA.  this product dries into hard rubber that feels similar to car tire, and remains flexible for years.

We follow manufacturer’s application instructions!

We back-roll the paint on the siding. While most painting companies believe a sprayed on coat suffices, Elegant painting takes durability to another level. Our application method includes bankrolling the entire siding twice. Paint is applied using airless sprayers, and is spread using rollers. Back-rolling forces the paint into the surface, filling all microscopic “moisture pockets”. Back-rolling also improves adhesion and produces an even spread. Gutters, corner boards, belly bands, fascia boards and other trim pieces are then hand painted twice using brush and rollers.
