Phoenix Painting of Greater Hartford is a full-service painting contractor. We offer interior and exterior painting for both the residential and commercial markets, including power washing and deck staining. Our specialties include ceiling repairs, as well as the painting of aluminum and vinyl siding.
The first step is to decide how they want the house to look when it's finished. Do they want to paint the house, the soffit (the wide flat board running along below the roof) and gutters all one color, or would they prefer the soffit white? Do they want to include doors, windows, shutters and any other outside structures? If they call us, we can come out to assist them with color choices and any questions they may have.
The products used depend on the house itself. Generally, wooden and asbestos clapboards require paint, a house made of cedar shingles or boards needs to be stained. We always visually inspect a home to determine the correct process required. Today's paint and stain products are far superior to those in the past.
Aluminum and vinyl sidings require a coating that includes a bonding agent - more for aluminum than for vinyl. otherwise, the painting process is similar to painting on wood.
The main steps include the removal of any items such as shutters, gutters and decorations, then moving everything away from the walls. Power washing is next. Then prep work, such as scraping, sanding, priming and caulking is completed. Bushes and other plants are covered as needed. Finally, the main body of the house, any trim and decorative work is done. Afterward, everything is returned to its proper place. And always - neatness, safety and care for the homeowners possessions is first priority.
A basic cape or colonial should take between three to five days, depending on the complexity. More time may be required to paint a much larger structure.
Extreme temperatures (high or low) as well as painting when conditions are wet is not recommended. Proper warm, dry weather conditions will go a long way toward an exterior paint job that stands the test of time.
Always check to be sure a contractor has a legitimate license! There are many people out there who make them up. The state has an online record of legitimate contractors for homeowners to search.
