Paint By Design, your Orlando Residential Painter, believes you shouldn’t have to repaint your home every 5 years. We are the only residential house painter to offer a ten year warranty between paint jobs. Our results are guaranteed because we pay special attention to the three basics that any quality paint job must have: The use of the highest quality premium paints and materials, surface preparation and paint application.
The Paint By Design Residential Painting Process
Here is a step by step process of how your surface area will be prepared and how the paint will be applied to the exterior of your house:
1. Move mulch, rock and dirt away from house 4-6 inches to allow us to paint below grade.
2. Pressure wash house and patio floors (if applicable) to remove loose paint and dirt.
3. Caulk around all windows, doors, door jambs and garage door.
4. Caulk front and back porch ceiling where wall and ceiling meet to conceal cracks.
5. Caulk front and back porch (or pool deck) floor where wall and floor meet.
6. Caulk (with clear caulk) all areas where wall and floor meet that will not be painted.
7. When caulking window frames or pool frames, we will use appropriate color match on frames (ex. Bronze, Tan).
