Here's a job we did in early October of 2009. We had before shots until our last camera broke, but here are the results of the job. The only things we didn't paint were the front, side, and rear doors and the frames that had baked on enamel that was in good shape. We matched our white from this color to match and ensure unification.
There was extensive prep work involved in producing this home. The trim had inner-coat adheasion issues where a previous contractor who sided the place used a flat sheen paint over a semi gloss sheen. The pressure washing pretty much took care of that and left a huge mess to vacume up around areas of her property.
There were also many obstacles to maneuver around. The rear of the home had a gazebo super close to the home and there was a porch cover extending half the back with corrugated plastic we had to put plywood on to have a stable area to work. Plus we had to work around a camper trailer on the right side of this photo just peaking out. Furthermore, we had to use a harness system in combination with a few other devices for stabilizing our ladders and our selves on the roof safely and easily.
The Prep work involved razor scraping tons of loose and peeling paint from all trim work, then we used XIM's Peel Bond to 100% prime the trim. There were also about half a dozen small areas of dry rot we fixed using a Min Wax system for dry rot repair.
Sherwin Williams Super Paint was used in combination with our unique application technique that involves back applying the paint after the airless sprayer on the first coat and then spraying only the 2nd. Thus giving the ultimate paint job that brings not only the full potential of the paints color and sheen, but also the full potential of the paints protective qualities.
Total, the job took us approximately 180 hours to complete and costed our client $7,286.00 for all paint, labor, and materials.
