Our Exterior Painting Process
Painting the outside of your home or business is a significant job. One of the biggest differences between interior and exterior painting is, with exterior painting, there's a wider range of exterior surfaces to consider.
Kelso’s Painting offers the same process of planning, preparation, painting and clean up as our interior painting services for our exterior painting jobs.
Additional processes for exterior surfaces include:
✔ Pressure wash areas to be painted. Pressure washing a surface before the application of a finish is highly recommended to achieve the best results.
✔ Protecting other surfaces. Tarp off sidewalks, driveways and other areas that could be at risk of overspray. Cover and protect windows in the painted areas.
✔ Scraping all loose and failing paint; with removal to bare wood when and if necessary.
Caulk wood-to-wood joints and gaps.
✔ Priming bare and patched areas when needed.
