Exterior Surface Prep & Sanding

What this involves.

Exterior surface prep and sanding is the foundation of any lasting paint job, because a coating is only as good as what it sticks to. We pressure wash the exterior to remove dirt, mildew, and chalking, then scrape away loose and peeling paint and sand the edges smooth so there are no hard ridges. We address rough spots, set fasteners, and create a clean, dull surface that the new coating can grip. Whether the exterior is gently weathered or badly failing, we get it sound and ready first, so the paint or stain that follows bonds well and lasts.

• Pressure washing to remove dirt, mildew, and chalking buildup
• Scraping loose and peeling paint down to a sound surface
• Sanding and feathering edges so there are no hard ridges
• Smoothing rough wood and dulling glossy areas for adhesion
• Setting popped fasteners and flagging areas that need repair
• Cleaning surfaces of dust and debris before any coating
• Confirming the surface is dry, clean, and ready for paint or stain
