Home owners often face problems with their home exteriors - pealing paint, stucco cracks, water damage, mould, siding imperfections, etc. All these can be a great headache not to mention expensive to fix. After over a decade of painting home exteriors, fixing of hundreds of homes I have come to one conclusion: PREPARATION is the most important key to a longer lasting exterior surface finish.
In the past preparation included power sanding, scrapping and caulking. This took a long time especially if one wanted to create a smooth surface and in reality almost impossible if there were already two or more coats of paint applied. Today, primer technology has advanced in this field to help make this job easier and faster and at the same time protecting the sidings, wood, decks and stucco. When you start an exterior project today, you still have to scrape and sand, however, only to eliminate the loose paint without worrying about the imperfections. Once the sanding is done and cleaned you can start applying a BONDING primer, one or two coats. This special primer will seal, coverup, smoothen out, and create a new and flat surface again without the need to replace old wood, stucco, aluminum. Once this is completed, you can start applying your top finish exterior paint and enjoy your brand new look again and for a long time.
Please be aware, applying bonding primer is not an easy task. A proper process has to be followed to achieve the proper result. Following such a process will minimize costs but taking shortcuts may result in future problems especially if the primer does not properly bond with the surface underneath. That is why it is always advisable to contact a professional and experienced painter.
