Creating an exterior painting surface that will look fantastic and withstand the elements requires adherence to a strict set of guidelines. At DiPinto Painting, we have perfected this process. Our expert crews follow a precise method that is combined with high-quality paints to ensure every exterior paint job meets our high standards and exceeds our customer’s expectations.
Our Exterior Paint Process
-
1- Power washing
A quality exterior paint job requires a clean surface. We power wash every exterior to remove loose paint, debris and dirt to ensure a durable, long lasting finish.
-
2- Scraping
Any leftover peeling paint after the power wash is scraped to create a smooth surface.
-
3- Repairs
Apply elastomeric stucco patch to all cracks and make any stucco repairs that were quoted for.
-
4- Caulking
All cracks around windows, doors and facia are caulked with premium caulking to seal those areas.
-
5- Masking
Windows, doors and trim that will not be painted are masked off to protect the surface.
-
6- Primer
Every exterior should have primer applied before paint to create an adhesive surface. This is vital for long-lasting results.
-
7- Painting
For excellent coverage, we apply paint both horizontally and vertically. If your contract specifies we may also back roll or apply a second coat as well.
-
8- Trim
We carefully apply one coat of paint to all trim. If your contract specifies we may apply a second coat.
-
9- Gutters
All gutters are sprayed for a smooth finish.
-
10- Garage doors & entry doors
All doors quoted are prepped and sprayed for a smooth finish.
-
11- Metal Surfaces
Any metal surfaces quoted are done last using precise painting techniques.
-
12- Clean up
Our crews never leave a mess behind. All coverings, masking, paint chips and other debris are removed once the job is completed.
-
13- Inspection
The project manager will carefully inspect the completed project to ensure it meets our high standards before we ask you to review the work for a final sign-off at completion.
