Surface Preparation

An exterior paint job is only as good as the surface it’s applied to. Our exterior surface preparation covers the full range of steps including the removal of failing paint and mildew, sanding of surfaces, caulking of gaps and filling of holes, and priming any bare substrates.
Protecting Surfaces

We take care to protect your home and property throughout the entire process, including collecting paint chips, covering sidewalks and plants and carefully masking areas while spraying.

Frequently Asked Questions

In Vancouver and the Lower Mainland, we are fortunate to have quite a long exterior season. Modern paint technology allows painting to safely occur from early spring to late fall generally. The summer is the busiest time for most painters, so it is a good idea to consider booking early. We are happy to provide exterior quotes and bookings year-round for the current or upcoming exterior season.
Exterior painting introduces a number of obstacles that may need to be dealt with prior to painting. These include things like wasps’ nests, plants and power lines. We will note any of these during our initial visit and discuss any necessary courses of action prior to us showing up to paint. We are generally able to safely tie back most plants enough to paint, and we can move and protect most items before painting.
Paint is one of the essential barriers that protects your home from the elements. Properly prepared and painted surfaces should last for years, however, factors such as humidity, heat and UV exposure can degrade paint faster. We recommend investigating any minor splits or cracks in paints, especially on horizontal surfaces such as painted wooden steps or window sills, as even a small crack in the paint can let water enter and pool, and if gone untreated will turn a minor paint repair into a serious wood rot issue.
Staining not only accentuates and highlights the beauty of natural wood grain, it provides an important line of defence between moisture, UV and mildew damage and your wood. If your stained surfaces look faded, or become quite soggy and slippery in the rain, it’s likely time to get your staining re-done.
We’re always excited to tackle restoration projects, and are fully equipped with the knowledge and skills to effect minor repairs to any wood surfaces on your home. However, the reality is that once rot has progressed too far, replacement becomes the best course of action. We will always discuss what we think the best course of action is with you.
