Our painting process is what sets us apart from our competitors. There is more than one option available for exterior painting, depending on your budget. This is our preferred method.
The first step we take is to pressure wash all surfaces to be painted. We use a gas powered pressure washer with no less than 2400 psi. The pressure washer tip must be within 12 inches of the surfaces to clean it properly, so we use ladders to navigate around your home to make sure everything is properly washed. If there is a problem with mold or mildew, or the substrate is extremely dirty, we will pre-treat with a solution of TSP (tri-sodium phosphate) and bleach.
Next, we properly prep the house for painting. This requires a lot of work! We caulk with an elastomeric caulk; ripping out the old caulk, if it has failed. Properly caulking really helps with weatherization and appearance. We check for cracks and holes and fill as needed. We also scrape all the loose paint and prime. Certain aspects of the job may require sanding, which we take care of during our prepping phase. We tape off to protect all non-painted surfaces, and we protect your surroundings, including all of your lovely landscaping.
The third step is really what sets us apart from our competitors: paint application. We apply the paint to your siding with an airless sprayer, then we back brush or roll to work the paint in, and then we apply a second coat. This method enables us to give you an extended warranty. There is much debate on whether to brush/roll or spray exteriors. Most painters spray because this allows the painter to apply a heavy coat, quickly. However, rolling or brushing works the paint into the siding, making for a better seal. So, we combine both methods and apply two coats.
Finally, we clean up and inspect the house for touch-ups. We clearly label the paint cans so you can store them for touch-ups and reference. We go to great lengths to give you the best paint job, and we do it at an affordable price!
Interior painting requires special skills and an eye for detail. Our super fine clean lines are the first thing that people notice about our paints. Our highly skilled painting professionals are trained to use our method to achieve these straight lines and we demand perfection.
We always paint with two coats, and we make sure that the surfaces we are painting are properly prepped. We do all the necessary wall repairs, caulking, sanding, texturing, priming and taping. We take special care to cover all of your belongings and to protect any non-painted surfaces.
Paint is our passion and it shows in our workmanship and product knowledge. We paint all interior walls and ceilings with lifetime warranty products. All materials used during our process are top-notch and the best on the market.
If you need direction with color, we are the team to ask. Our experience, combined with the color consultants/interior designers we do business with, enhance your living environment and creativity. Our connections to the world of interior design give you the most affordable and inspirational color consultations around. After all, choosing the right color is probably the second most important decision to make when it comes time to paint. Hiring the right painter is the first, of course!
Choosing color can be overwhelming and daunting. No need to worry with Sisu on board. We take the time to help you through the process and we provide you with draw downs (large color samples) of the colors you've chosen for final approval.
Cleaning, inspection, touch ups, final walk-through and providing the customer with touch up paint are all an important part of our service. We go the extra mile to make sure you are totally thrilled with your new paint job.
