EXTERIOR HOME PAINTING

Aging in the outdoor elements will eventually take its toll; your exterior surfaces begin to fade and show signs of wear and tear, especially due to mold and accumulated grime.  Because the declining state of your home's exterior is gradual, it may not be readily noticeable by you but look closely and it becomes evident.  It's possible you will feel a powdery residue on your hands when you rub a painted area, or you will see some cracking of paint or of the caulking.  In most cases you will know that it's time for repainting windows, doors and siding.

​Yes, it's time to call Ontario's best exterior painting contractor.

WHEN TO START AN EXTERIOR PAINTING PROJECT

Interior painting happens year round since, weather does not affect indoor painting.  On the other hand, exterior paint contracting must be planned around the seasons and the weather. Too cold and we can't paint. Exterior paint is designed to set at minimum temps, usually around 10 degrees for proper adhesion and there should be no looming storms.

Weather forecasts are important to us when we are planning to paint outdoors; we won't risk applying an exterior finish in uncertain conditions.  We have started painting projects as early as April but usually mid May is when the weather becomes more consistent and sunny openings with warmer temperatues allows us to apply a finish.  We have seen homeowners who require exterior surfaces repainted as early as the following year because of improperly prepared surfaces or the weather conditions were not acceptable, especially in the spring and fall when daytime temperatures didn't get up there.  They ideally need to be between 10° and 29° with calm winds.  It should be noted that some new paints are working well with applications in temps as low as 5 degrees. 

In addition to ideal conditions, we use the highest quality materials and mixtures to ensure a lasting new finish that will be protected from the elements! Curb appeal is important to us all so why not do the best exterior work possible that will hold up to the nasty weather Ontario throws our way.  Our painting company will provide long-lasting, quality workmanship, and we'll go easy on your wallet whether its a total makeover for the house or just simple touch-ups. We believe that quality paints should still look vibrant after eight to ten years depending on severity of the weather.  ​

House Painters of Vaughan is your 'high quality finish' painters, a strong residential painting company.  We make sure that we perform proper priming, sealing, drip coverage and clean up as well as implementing best safety procedures.  After final coat painting we complete the project with a thorough clean-up and walk through inspection.

​Painted Surface Prep

​House Painters Vaughan thoroughly cleans the areas to be painted. Cleansers and high power pressure washers get the dirty part of the job done first, and with eco-friendly solutions. Peeling and chalking is usually evident; it will be eliminated along with unwelcome surface materials and organic attachments in order to create surefire adhesion along with a ultra-clean appearance. Since we may be there, you might consider driveway, walkways and patios or decks that might require cleaning, staining or recovering. We do most types of surface finishing.

Area and Final Surface Prep

Scrapings, droppings, paint spills are all possible materials that could end up on your property if necessary precautions aren't taken, Heavy-duty drop cloths are placed everywhere so that when we are finished and have left the property, you will never know were there. We respect your property so you can be sure our finishing clean-up will be immaculate. The source of the mess come from the thorough scraping of all loose and peeling old paint in order to create the best surface prep and adhesion. This allows the new primer and/or paint to grab hold of the surface for lasting results. Eaves, doors and exterior windows are included in exterior painting services, often these can be aluminum or metal.  Prep techniques are different for these types of surfaces and we are well practiced in proper materials, abrasion and paint techniques.  Clean, wash and scrape, then prime, then paint or stain. Particular attention is paid to porous areas, fresh wood or any place that resin or water staining may come through the final paint cover.  ​

​Painted Surface Sealing and Repair 

Caulking is a flexible sealant used in cracks where whether driven expansion and contraction has taken place.  Silicone caulking is not used as it not so paintable; in fact, it is usually removed prior to new paint applications if it was previously applied.  We use latex caulking only.​ Putty filler, which was often used on older buildings for moisture and cold issues will be replaced if necessary.  ou won't see us paint putty due to its own appeal, but it I can take weeks to fully dry.  

So, Let's Paint Your House 

The first coat paint and finish coat (tricky lingo, another way of expressing a second coat) will be applied. At his point an awakening might occur, an enlightenment of some sort, mounds of joy and extreme well being - or maybe not all that but at least the enjoyment of a freshly painted home making it look new again; and a renewed pride in your home. House surfaces that have been properly prepped and painted by us will last longer because they have been protected from the damaging sun’s rays. You can count on this for years to  come. Superb curb appeal feels darn good.  It's yours. ​

Decks and Other Structures

​Decks, fences, gazebos and sheds have a lifespan that will be defined by the amount of care and maintenance they receive. The structures are mostly built of soft woods (cedar, pine) and require fairly constant care. With the northern climes we are in, the winds, rain and snow are relentlessly bashing these valued structures causing the eventual loss of their protective coats.

​​​Inevitably they begin to show wear and tear, perhaps rotting. Nothing looks worse than sagging rotting wood products one's property.  Eventually, the deck will gets fatigue and deck or fence repairs will become necessary.  You might not even notice the wear on your wood surfaces so much because you live with it day in, day out, but be certain that care needs to be taken if you want your assets to have an extended life.
