Exterior Painting in Mission Hills? Mission Accomplished!
If you take a look at the first picture above, you’ll see a Mission Hills home with beautiful bones but a worn, dated exterior. Our client’s vision for their property was to take it to a new level with freshly-protected surfaces, completed repairs, and stylish curb appeal.
Join us for a tour of this fun exterior painting project!
Our Essential Steps Before Beginning to Paint
Every quality painting process begins with thorough prep; this is the only way to achieve a level of adhesion and surface integrity that will really endure.
Because our client wanted to steer away from the stained look, we prepped and primed the wood shingles, getting them ready for the paint to come.
We also repaired the beams within the structure of the front porch using Flex-Tec epoxy. After careful analysis of the condition and extent of the damage, we decided that this would be the ideal way to restore the surface and provide a strong, headache-free foundation for the new paint.
