Low-Cost Investment
Exterior painting is a low-cost investment in the value of your home and provides much of the necessary exterior maintenance required for your home.
Cleaning, Caulking, Scraping, Priming and Painting
Cleaning, caulking, scraping, priming, and preparing surfaces for painting maintains your home’s integrity by protecting items such as wood trim, stucco, and siding from deterioration. This type of maintenance helps avoid costly repairs and replacement.

Our Elite Exterior Painting Process:
Project Evaluation
Upon the arrival of the painting crew, we will do a general review of the project looking at the scope of the work, confirming colour choices, reviewing any site concerns, and setting up a workshop for the project.
Preparation
The first step for the crew is to prepare the surfaces for painting. This will consist of scraping, sanding, caulking, minor repairs and priming as per the details in the job proposal. In general, once all the preparation is completed, the painting process begins. In some cases, specific sections may be prepared and painted, with the crew moving from section to section.
Exterior Painting
Painting of the areas will start once the preparation is completed. Working from top to bottom, the areas required will have a fresh coat of paint applied. Second coats will be applied as required in the proposal with recoat times for most products being between three to four hours. Each section is then inspected as the areas are completed.
General Inspection & Cleanup
After the project is completed, another general inspection of all the areas painted will be done. Final cleanup is done with drop sheets, painting equipment and ladders removed from the site, and a sweep, rake, or shop vac of driveways, gardens, and decks is performed. Garbage is bagged for your regular curbside pickup.
Paint Storage
We will leave paint behind for any future touch-ups you would like to do and it is important to store these products in a warm dry place.
Protect Your Investment
Your home can be your biggest investment and more importantly, can be a source of great pride. A well-maintained home is not only more valuable but provides great comfort and enjoyment.

Exterior painting is a seasonal project in most regions as rain and cold weather prevent the safe application of exterior paint products. However, the enhancement of paint products during the last number of years has allowed painting at colder temperatures. Many paints now have a quick-drying formulation that has a 1 to 2 hour no wash off feature, which allows painting in more uncertain weather conditions.

It is easy for clients to prepare for the exterior painting process. Clients must tightly close windows, move outside furniture and other items away from the building and park vehicles away from the areas being painted prior to the start of power washing and painting.
