Pre-job - We will work together to finalize colors, sheens and exact scope of work. Verify HOA approvals if needed. 3. Job start - Prep work first. All areas that need to be worked on prior to painting will be addressed. This includes caulking lines, spackling holes, sanding or repairing minor blemishes in the surfaces. Exteriors will receive power washing. 4. Painting - Masking and covering of all areas and items not being painted! Then the painting begins. Every situation is unique but typically we’ll use a combination of an airless paint sprayers, rollers and then hand brushes as needed. 5. Cleaning - We keep a clean job site at all times. Being sure to remove trash, masking materials and empty paint buckets. Our goal is to leave a site cleaner than when we arrived. 6.
