How it works

Painted the exterior of the barn red.

Phase  1

Interior: We can apply paint to new and old surfaces. New surfaces usually require 1 coat of primer and then 1 coat of interior latex paint for ceilings and walls. Older surfaces when getting repainted will usually get 1 coat of paint when applying same or similar color. When changes colors we recommend 2 coats of latex paint. For dark colors getting repainted with lighter colors we recommend 1 primer coat and 2 coats of paint. That should be enough coats as we use top high quality paints for all of our applications. Using low quality paint can mean doing more coats of paint which will cost more to the client and sometimes come out blotchy and fade with time.

Phase  2

For trim, baseboards, crown molding, and doors we usually give the surfaces a light and cleaning and lightly sand out imperfections if needed. Then we apply 1 coat of either satin, semi-gloss latex paint or oil base paint. For kitchen Cabinets and Bathroom Vanities when re painting with same or similar color we clean and lightly sand surfaces and apply 1 to 2 coats of latex or oil base paint. For painting stained Kitchen Cabinets we clean all surfaces, apply 1 coat of oil base primer, caulk and putty all nail holes, all surfaces will be lightly sanded, cleaned up of dust and grime. Then apply 2 coats of paint in latex or oil base paint in top coat color.

Phase  3

Exterior: We first repair any damaged trim and replace rotted wood or siding. Pressure wash all surfaces to be painted. Caulk and putty all seams and nail holes. Apply 1 coat of paint if same or similar and if color is different there is a 2 coat step for better coverage. We can prime & paint siding, trim, brick, concrete, stucco and metal exterior surfaces.
