OUR EXTERIOR PAINTING PROCESS

EXTERIOR PAINTING PREPARATION

Trim Your Plants

Ensuring that plants are trimmed back from the areas slated for painting is crucial for a successful exterior paint job. Keeping them at least 8-10 inches away from the surfaces to be painted is ideal. This distance not only facilitates easier access for our painting team but also helps in applying an even coat of paint around these areas. When it comes to hedges or larger plants, a good trim allows our professionals to maneuver more effectively, ensuring that every nook and cranny receives the perfect finish. This preparation step is essential in achieving the best results and maintaining the health of your garden and the integrity of your paint job.

Clear Areas Of Work

Clearing the work area of any movable objects like bikes, hoses, garden tools, decorative pieces, planters, balcony furniture, and sporting equipment is essential before commencing any exterior painting project. This preparation step is crucial for creating an unobstructed workspace, which enables us to carry out the painting process more efficiently and effectively. By removing these items, you help ensure that our team can access all areas needing paint without hindrances, leading to a smoother operation and higher quality finish. This attention to prep work is a key factor in achieving the best possible outcome for your property's new look.

Protect Your Animals

Ensuring the safety of your pets and our workers is a priority during the course of our work on your property. It's essential to have a plan in place to keep your furry friends secure and out of harm's way. Pets should not be left loose in the yard while work is being performed. This precaution helps prevent any accidents or disturbances, and ensures that our team can focus on providing the highest quality service without any unnecessary interruptions. Whether it's keeping pets indoors, in a separate area of your home, or arranging for them to stay somewhere else during work hours, taking these steps will contribute to a smoother and safer working environment for everyone involved.

Keep Painted Windows & Doors Open

After painting doors and windows, it's crucial to leave them open for several hours to allow the paint to cure properly. This ensures that the paint dries and sets correctly, preventing it from sticking or peeling when the doors and windows are subsequently closed. You'll have the flexibility to close them before you retire for the night, ensuring your home's security and comfort.

Turn Your Sprinklers Off

Please remember to turn off your lawn sprinklers after power wash day, especially if they spray areas that are scheduled to be painted. This precaution helps ensure that the surfaces remain dry and properly prepared for painting, preventing any potential delays or complications in the painting process. Keeping the surfaces dry is crucial for the paint to adhere correctly and achieve the best possible finish. If you have automatic sprinklers, adjusting their schedule or temporarily disabling them until the painting is completed would be highly beneficial.

Let’s Get To Work!

Upon the arrival of our crew, you'll have the opportunity to meet your Paint Contractor Team Leader. Together, you'll discuss the initial phase of the project and decide on the best starting point. Our position as a leading interior and exterior painting service in the Northern San Diego area is a testament to our efficiency and our commitment to working in a manner that respects your convenience and schedule. At Al's Quality Painting, we prioritize not just the quality of our work but also the smoothness and ease of the painting process for our clients.

Exterior Painting FAQs

  • When is the best time to paint the exterior of my home?

    Exterior painting thrives in dry weather conditions, making late Spring, Summer, or early Fall the perfect times for such projects in Southern California. This region's climate offers the advantage of low humidity and minimal rain, alongside warm temperatures that persist even after sunset. These factors are crucial for ensuring that paint dries and cures correctly, guaranteeing a high-quality finish that lasts. Scheduling your exterior painting during these optimal seasons can enhance both the process and the end result, capitalizing on Southern California's ideal weather conditions for painting.

  • How will my landscaping be protected?

    We advise protecting your plants with a lightweight tarp and trimming back any hedges or branches that are close to the exterior siding as much as you can. This preparation not only safeguards your vegetation during the painting process but also ensures easy and unobstructed access to the surfaces being painted. Taking these steps helps prevent damage to your plants and facilitates a smoother, more efficient painting job, allowing for a cleaner application and better overall results.

  • How long will it take to paint my home’s exterior?

    The duration of a painting project is directly related to the size of your home. For a standard 3000 square foot home, the project typically spans 2-4 days. This estimate can vary based on the complexity of the job, including factors such as the condition of the surfaces to be painted, the number of colors used, and any additional preparation work that may be required. Our team at Al's Quality Painting aims to complete your project efficiently without compromising on quality, ensuring your home receives the attention to detail it deserves.

  • How long will my exterior paint job last?

    It's advisable to repaint the exterior of your home every 7-10 years. This timeframe helps maintain the appearance and integrity of your property, protecting it from weathering, wear, and tear. Regular painting not only keeps your home looking fresh and vibrant but also serves as a preventive measure against potential damage caused by the elements. Staying within this recommended schedule can extend the life of your home's exterior surfaces and potentially save you money on more extensive repairs in the long run.

  • What brand of paint do you use? Can I choose any color?

    We primarily partner with Sherwin Williams for our painting projects, thanks to their wide range of high-quality paint options. However, we also frequently use Benjamin Moore and Behr, among other reputable brands, to meet the diverse needs and preferences of our clients. It's worth noting that both Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore excel in color matching, offering the flexibility to replicate colors from other brands. So, if you've found a particular shade you love from HGTV, Martha Stewart, Glidden, or any other brand, rest assured that we can match it. This capability ensures that you're not limited in your color choices and can achieve the exact look and feel you desire for your space.

  • Why do I need to move my car?

    When we're painting your home's exterior, we kindly request that you move your car away from the painting areas. Despite our best efforts to contain paint to the intended surfaces, there's always a risk of overspray, which could potentially reach your vehicle. Relocating your car provides an extra layer of precaution, ensuring it remains free from any accidental paint application. This simple step helps protect your property and allows our team to work more efficiently, ensuring the best possible outcome for your painting project.

  • Do you require me to do any prep before painting?

    Absolutely! Al's Quality Painting will provide you with an exterior preparation guide before we commence your project. We'll request that you move any items located close to the house, such as patio furniture, to ensure a clear workspace. Additionally, we might ask you to trim any branches that could obstruct the painting process. This prep work is essential for ensuring the project proceeds smoothly and efficiently, allowing our team to deliver the high-quality results you expect while protecting your belongings and landscaping.

  • Do you work weekends?

    Most of our teams are available to work on Saturdays, allowing us to accommodate projects that need to be completed outside the regular workweek. However, we typically reserve Sundays for rest and only schedule work on this day if it's absolutely essential to meet project deadlines or specific client needs. We're committed to working around your schedule to ensure the painting process is as convenient for you as possible. At the same time, we appreciate your flexibility with us, ensuring that we can deliver the high-quality results Al's Quality Painting is known for, within a timeframe that meets our shared objectives.
