Selecting the Perfect Paint
Selecting the correct type of paint can drastically affect the desired execution of your house paint. With a wide variety of different types of paint available, choosing the most suitable type of paint for your house is not an easy task. As a generalization you will wish to avoid cheap, discount paint as it contains fewer binders: on drying, a thinner paint film results, making it less hard-wearing and more prone to cracking and chipping. Do not forget that wood siding expands and contracts in response to changes in the weather and as a consequence, paint must be dynamic for the most favorable results. In addition, for superior adhesion, special direct-to-metal paint is essential for metal siding. With regards to precise types of paint for your home, you may wish to consult a Sacramento paint professional. They can provide recommendations based upon local temperature fluctuations, exposure to UV light and various additional site-specific factors.
Painting Preparation
When it comes to Sacramento house painting, preparation is crucial. You should ensure that your current paint is in a reasonable condition by inspecting it for flaking, chipped and loose paint. These flaws in your paintwork will prevent new paint from adhering sufficiently, resulting in potential problems shortly after application. Insufficient groundwork will result in your paintwork lasting weeks as opposed to years. If you discover that the condition of your house paint is inadequate and thereby consists of paint which has flaked in large quantities, has become deeply cracked or possesses blemishes created by underlying dry rot, then professional paint removal is a necessity.
Why It Is Worth It
If you desire outstanding results from your newly applied coat of paint, it is advisable to take the following additional steps. Not only will your house paint prove long-lasting, its appearance will be enhanced and will provide your home with invaluable safeguarding in the process. Do not forget that house paint is not only an attractive finish for your home. House paint protects your home from all elements. This thin layer of paint repels moisture, protects against insects, defends against mold growth and shields against dry rot. If you take the time and effort to adequately prepare the surface and use high quality paint, an even, intact layer of paint will result, shielding your house from the outside. Refrain from being frugal this spring ,when it comes to your exterior house painting Sacramento. Push the boat out and employ Pontius Painting Services to provide an excellent exterior paint job!

It's Springtime!

As the springtime  weather in the greater Sacramento area shifts from wet, and cold to warmer temperatures, every homeowner’s attention turns to the out of doors. It’s time to clean things up, tend to the garden, and make needed repairs to both the home and its surroundings. Where to start? Assuming that your exterior paint is fading or even failing, it’s best to focus on that first.

Pontius Painting Services says, "There are plenty of good reasons to start spring chores by hiring us to do your exterior painting".

“First, spring is a very comfortable time to do outdoor painting. Second, it’s smart to paint before putting down mulch, which along with your plants, will just get trampled if you decide to paint later on. Third, why not get your painting done before more pleasant ‘distractions’ like gardening, sports, and barbecues begin?”

If your house paint is near the end of its life expectancy, you’re taking a chance by postponing repainting. It doesn’t take long for exposed wood to begin to rot, and other types of exteriors also suffer when the paint wears off. Wait too long and you may have to make repairs before starting to paint.

Another reason to get to your painting first: Exterior latex paint forms the most durable, protective finish when the weather is mild. It's always best to do exterior painting when the temperature is above 50 degrees F., but not too hot, because very hot days can cause the paint to dry too quickly and impair good paint film formation. By painting in moderate weather, you’ll likely get a longer-lasting paint job.”

Of course, it’s important to properly prepare the surface before doing any exterior painting. That includes applying a coat of primer to any new surface that has never been painted, or spot-priming previously painted surfaces where the paint is worn away.

To extend the life of your paint job, Pontius Painting Services recommend's applying the very highest quality 100% acrylic latex paint, which is especially durable, flexible and colorfast. Top quality paint often lasts 10 years or more, compared to about four years for ordinary paint, saving you time, work, and money in the long run. For the longest-lasting paint job, always apply at least two coats – either a coat of primer and a coat of paint, or two coats of house paint.

While Pontius Painting Services finishes the exterior painting, you can turn your attention to the other things on your to-do list. What’s more, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that you’ve done right by your biggest investment – your home.
