Long-term Paint Preparations That Prevent Failure

A Touch of Color carefully prepares your home exterior for long-lasting protection. No shortcuts are taken when we prepare for exterior painting. Starting with a thorough cleaning of the entire house to remove dirt and mildew. 

Then we’ll scrape all loose paint and prime raw wood and other surfaces that are best prepped with a dedicated bonding primer. We ensure all standard prep measures are completed, including sealing all nail holes and caulking all cracks and expansion joints. Our materials include Crawford Painter Putty and premium exterior acrylic caulk such as Sherwin-Williams Maxflex. Every home paint project starts with a clean and sealed surface ready for paint.

The heat and humidity in the Triangle are no joke. So, of course, we use the highest-grade prep materials. Frankly, the cost difference isn’t that much, and the increased performance supersedes the minor price increase.

Our exterior painting preparation steps are a massive factor in the long-term surface protection we guarantee. All stages of the process are completed thoroughly and in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications. This is just one of many ways we guarantee the most professional coating.

Estimating and Evaluating the Outside of Wake Forest Homes

We aim to be as thorough as possible when assessing your home for painting and potential repair costs. Providing premium service requires experienced exterior estimators with a trained eye who can catch over 90% of home siding and trim repairs from ground level. 

Exterior house painting costs vary based on the surface type and conditions. Knowing this, we will provide you with a detailed assessment of the work and expenses. Proposals include photographs that reveal the location of any damage, marked in red. Our quotes also list and itemize each area we are painting, describing the type of paint, how many coats, and how the paint will be applied. 

The majority of our quotes include the cost of two coats of paint from leading brands like Sherwin-Williams. Our team will review your home and provide you with paint recommendations to maximize the performance and protection of your fiber cement, brick, stucco, or wood surfaces. If your home has vinyl or aluminum windows, of course, we will leave those unpainted.

Additional Paintable Exterior Surfaces

Don’t Be Overly Concerned with Spraying vs. Brushing

A Touch of Color never says the more expensive process is better, just to increase the price. Integrity is at the center of all things we do here, and we aim to maintain and preserve that. Therefore, our spraying and brushing recommendations are based on your home’s needs for the best exterior painting results, given the unique advantages each provides. 

Spraying often produces the most even finish and is best for applying dark paint colors over large areas. If you’re changing the color of your home exterior, spraying house paint also requires fewer coats. 

Hand-brushing can provide a more durable finish on damaged surfaces or textured materials. However, painting with a brush can create more visible brush marks. When in doubt, we will select the method that provides the best results and never recommend unnecessary techniques or services.

Choosing the Best Paint For Each Surface

The paint quality on your home’s exterior will directly affect its longevity. Our expert painters select high-quality exterior paint that withstands the elements and can be applied to multiple surfaces under various conditions. 

Each paint line varies and offers performance improvements across numerous conditions and surface types. So we don’t limit our recommendations to a single brand or type. Sometimes your color selection will determine the product recommendation that will provide beauty and long-lasting results. 

Paint recommendations for your home can be validated once we see the space and can assess the surface’s details and needs. Consider products that excel at color retention, moisture protection, and surface adhesion under the weather conditions at the time of application. Luckily, there are exterior paint solutions for each season!

Protecting Wake Forest Homes Through Meticulous Finish Quality

Whether your residence is a classic brick house in Heritage or a modern fiber-cement build in Traditions, painting protects and enhances your home, helping maintain your community, and increasing value. Professional coatings typically last five to ten years, though proactive maintenance extends that window significantly. Refreshing a property before the current paint fails maintains good curb and backyard views.

Managing home improvements should be a stress-free experience for you. While we focus on delivering a flawless application, A Touch of Color Painting and General Contracting also handles wood replacements and minor repairs with the same level of expertise and attention to detail. Integrating the entire process ensures you don’t have to search for multiple contractors to complete a single project.
