Interior & Exterior Residential & Commercial (Spray, Brush, Roll)
PREPARATION PROCESS:
Surface preparation:
• Identifying signs of chalking, peeling, or blistering on the paint, as well as noting any water damage.
• Power Washing – eliminates algae, mildew, dirt, mold, and chalking that accumulates over the years and restores a clean surface for the paint to adhere to the home.
• Scraping – loose paint and/or stain that is peeling off the surface.
• Sanding – process that smooth out the paint’s borders.
• Light Carpentry Repair
• Chemical stripping of wood as needed to remove excess paint buildup, or failing paint.
APPLICATION:
• Priming – Prior to applying the top coat, Amazing Painting sprays, rolls or brushes a high-end primer to the wood, metal, steel, aluminum or other surface. Priming is done to all bare wood areas to increase adhesion. Special priming is also done to certain problematic areas with cedar bleed or rust.
• Caulking is then applied to potential areas of water leaks, around windows, between joints, among other places. Murphy Painting also proceed to mask any nooks and crannies that they wish to protect from paint. All joints receive siliconized caulking to prevent moisture from penetrating behind wood.
• Paint is applied with brush and/or roller or sprayed and then back-brushed after all prep work is completed; we use sprayers on shutters, lattice and some hard-to-reach areas.
When it comes to choosing the most flattering hues for your property, consider the following tips:
1. Harmonizing the new paint with the residence’s current colors.
2. Applying an accent color along the contour that contrasts with the home’s background in order to highlight architectural aspects.
3. Choosing colors from the same color family.
4. Harmonizing the exterior paint with the home’s interior colors.
5. Choosing accent colors for columns, shutters, and other details, as well as the trim
6. Applying light colors to make the residence appear larger and darker shades to make it seem smaller.
7. Consulting historic color charts or applying a modern, bright shade to highlight architectural aspects when painting an older home.
