Exterior Painting Procedures
Preparation for finishing a surface is just as important as the application process. Portsmouth Painting Company offers the most advanced process to ensure a high- quality product and the satisfaction of our customer.
• We pressure wash all substrates (which we outline in each customized painting proposal to remove discoloration caused by mildew, dirt, tannin bleed, or chalking.
• We thoroughly scrape surface areas intending to be resealed to transfer loose, peeling, cracking, or blistering paint.
• We sand rough surfaces for ideal adhesion and maximum paint penetration.
• We spot prime uncovered substrates using an alkyd-based primer to seal any bare surfaces. Rust-inhibiting primer will be applied to metal surfaces which exhibit stain-causing tendencies. A shellac-based primer will be used to seal out knots and tannin bleed.
• Caulking the gaps and seams: Over time, expanding and contracting occurs on the surface of the structure. It is essential to the integrity of the professional coating to fill any openings with the product that will move (breathe) with the structure to guarantee an efficient seal and prevent moisture damage.
• We mask and remove items against all of the painting surfaces.
The application will be performed by professional painters, in ideal conditions to provide a uniform finish. Finish coatings will be applied by hand brush, roller, airless sprayer, or HVLP sprayer (high volume low pressure). Any surfaces covered by airless sprayer will be back brushed for optimal coverage.
