Prep
The first step in prepping this exterior was a thorough cleaning by hand with eco-friendly cleaning products. Luckily, this exterior was in good shape and required little scraping or sanding.
Application Methods
We chose to paint this entire exterior by hand due to the excessive amount of masking that would be required if spraying. Additionally, applying stains by hand will result in a longer-lasting and better quality finish than spraying. Sprayers cannot work the stain into crevices in wood without the help of a brush or roller.
Difficult Areas
The biggest challenge of this exterior was height. You can see from the photos below the high peaks that we worked on to complete the painting. We used our 28ft ladder to reach the high areas on this exterior.
This was my view from the top of the peak overlooking The Straight of Georgia.
How long did this project take?
This exterior took about three and a half weeks, including the cleaning. We like to take our time to ensure that everything meets our work standards and lasts for years to come.
What is the total cost of a project like this?
