Painting Contractors Somerset West Exterior Painting. Painting the EXTERIOR of your house is a huge job but has the power to totally transform the look of your house in less time and for less money than any other remodelling project. A good exterior painting job will also protect your investment against weather damage. Once the paint begins to crack and peel it’s time to repair the damage or you may even be ready for a change of style or colour to give your home a fresh new look.

New paint should last for a good number of years, provided you use TOP QUALITY MATERIALS, apply them with care and most important, do proper PREPARATION of the surface first. One of the most common causes of failure of a house paint job stems from a failure to prepare the painting surface appropriately.

Painting Contractors Somerset West Exterior Painting – PREPARATION – Cleaning Exterior Surfaces

All surfaces must be prepared thoroughly before painting. Surfaces have to be cleaned from dust, dirt, loose paint, mould or algae. Removing dirt, dust build up and algae works best by using a pressure washer from the top to the bottom of the house in a smooth, controlled manner. A fungicidal solution needs to be applied on affected areas and then be left to dry properly. Painters Cape Town Southern Suburbs

Painting Contractors Somerset West Exterior Painting. Any damage areas should be filled and sanded before painting. Remove any loose or chipped paint, surface dirt and fill cracks and holes with a filler like a powder or polyurethane. If the crack or damage is deeper than 10 mm, you may have to build up the filler in layers, leaving each layer to dry before applications. Once dry, lightly sand using a medium grit sanding paper.

Also trim gaps around doors and windows using exterior caulk. Painters Cape Town

Painting Contractors Somerset West Exterior Painting – PREPARATION – Seal and Prime

Painters Somerset West will seal and prime new unpainted surfaces and porous or powdery surfaces with a masonry primer. Check the wall surface again for holes and other imperfections and fill if necessary. It always is a good idea to apply a primer to areas that have been filled by a powder to prevent patches showing once the surface is painted.

Prime with a quality sealer. The sealer locks everything in place and creates a good surface for the new paint to stick to. When repainting walls that have become chalky or dusty, select a chalky wall sealer as paint will not stick to a dusty surface.
