LEAD SAFETY Exterior EPA Lead Setup Safety If you have an older home it may have lead paint Federal and state law require that work done on houses built before 1978 is done according to EPA guidelines using protective material and gear Our painters are all EPA certified and follow lead paint removal specifications in these circumstances to prevent any contamination of your property We are committed to doing what is best for the environment and health and safety of our customers and workers All of our work is performed in accordance with state and federal guidelines for EPA setup EPA grade plastic is used to protect up to 20 ft outside of the home If any exterior paint stripping is performed we use dustless sanders hooked to a HEPA vacuum Crews wear full suits and respirators We take the necessary precautions to protect you your family your property and our crews 6

HOUSE WASH Pre Rinse Wash Final Rinse We ll have your house sparkling in no time Pre Rinse Our crew washes the exterior with a pressure washer at low intensity so as not to mark the wood or remove any paint that is in good condition Wash We use pump sprayers and scrub brushes to lightly yet thoroughly clean each side of the house removing all visible dirt and mildew The solution is applied via the pump sprayer and it is hand scrubbed off to clean the home While other companies use high pressure we know that it can damage siding and does not effectively and thoroughly remove contaminants the way a hand scrub does A hand scrub best prepares the surface for paint and eliminates potential damage from abrasive home cleaning approaches The solution in our pump sprayers is a mixture of bleach and water There is also a special mildew killer which causes mildew to release from the siding and come off easily Final Rinse The crew goes back over the house with a pressure sprayer to rinse off the cleaning product If the homeowner removes window screens we also will squeegee windows to prevent streak marks During the initial wash we examine the house up close and alert customers to rot and or needed carpentry repairs we may discover

PRE WASH VS POST WASH Easier Than You Thought Many people who have a mildew problem mistakenly think that there needs to be a significant amount of work performed on their home Often a wash and some touch up painting will make the house look as good as new Pre wash Post wash Pre wash Step by step to squeaky clean Let us take a look 8 Post wash

GETTING THINGS READY Spot stripped exterior Partially stripped exterior Fully stripped exterior Exterior Paint Prep The most beautiful and longest lasting paint job begins with the prep Spot Stripped Partially Stripped Fully Stripped Hand Scraping Power Sanding

PRIME TIME Exterior Paint Prep On a typical job we will prime the stripped areas to ensure they are ready to accept paint and then apply the finish coats of the exterior colors Priming wood that has been stripped helps the finish coat last longer We always prime any stripped or bare wood any areas with rusted nails or areas where tannin bleeds are visible Tools and Techniques We use brushes rollers and sprayers to ensure the highest quality finish When we use sprayers we always back roll to ensure an even finish and to maintain a consistent quality
