Our unique South-Side Treatment focuses on removing failed coats, back-rolling a penetrating oil-based primer, and applying two coats of professional-grade exterior paint to ensure long-lasting protection for Eastside homes.
1. Removal of Failed Coats
The first step is to remove all peeling or chipping paint using a combination of hand and power tools. Our goal is to remove any existing loose paint along with any layers that might fail within the next few years, creating a stable foundation for the new finish.
2. Slow-Dry Oil Primer
Once the surface is clean, we hand-paint a layer of Slow-Dry Oil-Based Primer. This material penetrates deep into the wood grain, replenishing essential oils and preventing the siding from decomposing.
The Advantage of Slow-Dry Oils
While slow-drying primers take longer to apply, they add years to the longevity of the paint job by creating a superior bond that fast-drying alternatives simply cannot match.
3. Precision Caulking
Essential in the damp Northwest, we wait until the primer is fully dry before caulking. We use premium-grade materials to fill cracks, joints, and nail holes, ensuring a moisture-tight seal across the entire south-facing wall.
4. Professional Paint Application
Finally, we apply two coats of Sherwin Williams professional-grade paint. We back-roll the finish into the grain to ensure proper adhesion and to eliminate air pockets that could lead to future bubbling.
