This job was produced in August of 2008. It is the result on many years of neglect and abuse by the weather and overgrowth of plants and shrubs allowed to grow too close for too long.
The prep work on this project required us to use a razor scraper in combination with a flat tool to crevice behind the sheets of paint that came off of this home. We then used XIM's Peel Bond to bridge the paint ridges as best as possible.
We applied two thick and even coats of Sherwin Williams Super Paint using our unique application techniques. On the vertical siding, we back-applied the first coat using a 4" brush under the lip, then a 9" roller with a 3/16" nap to back roll the face of the siding, ensuring a tight stipple, for an even application, look and feel. On the horizontal siding, we and back-rolled using a 9" roller with a 1/4" nap. Finally, all trim work and doors were then brush and rolled by hand with two thick and even coats of paint.
Total, the project took us 145 hours, was estimated for 136, and cost our client $5,610.00 for all paint, labor, and materials. This included extra charges for the addition labor we spent to fix a fair amount of dry rot issues.
