Shown below are a few common problems found on homes to be painted. Take a few minutes to inspect some of these areas on your home. A properly-maintained paint system can save the expense of replacing rotted windows, sills, and trim. Click on photos below to view full size.
Caulking: Caulking is important in sealing your home from water and its damaging effects. Cracked caulking can allow water to seep into underlying wood. The result: Rotted window frames, window sills, and molding. Our exterior painting includes replacment of caulking where required.
Glazing: Like caulk, window glazing is important in protecting windows from water damage. Damaged or missing window glazing can also cause drafts and loss of heating or cooling. Our exterior painting includes replacement of window glazing where required.
Peeling Paint: Peeling paint may be caused for several reasons, including improper priming of the bare wood before painting. Our exterior painting includes scraping away old loose paint and applying a primer to bare wood prior to painting.
Mold: Mold on soffits, trim, windows, and siding is inevitable in the hot humid climate of the south. Left unchecked, mold growth can have deleterious effects on paint systems. Our exterior painting includes pressure-washing with detergent and bleach to kill mold and remove dirt from surfaces to be painted.
Rotted Brick Molding: Molding adjoining doors may rest on concrete. Over time, water is absorbed ("wicked") into the molding, causing it to rot at the bottom. Generally the molding, or the rotten section, must be replaced.
