Here are some of the basics of good painting job:
As professional painters A to Z Construction are
committed and responsible for all preparation prior to painting. All
scraping, sanding, pressure wash, wallpaper removal, caulking,
drywall or wood repair, patching, stain removal, filling nail holes
or any defects with plaster or putty, cleaning, taping, preparation
and priming to be done by the professional painters - employees
of A to Z Construction.
A
to Z Construction carries all needed tools of the trade,
including sanders, scrapers, paint sprayers, brushes, paint rollers,
ladders and scaffolding, in addition to just the paint in order to
correctly complete work. Much preparation needs to be considered
before simply applying paint. For instance, taping and drop cloth
techniques, sizes of brushes or rollers, material types or
dimensions of rollers or brushes (there are different sizes or types
of brushes and rollers for different paints), amount of paint,
number of paint coats, amount of primer, types of primers and
paints, certain grits and cuts of sandpaper, trim cutting (the act
of painting with a brush on the outline of baseboard, moldings and
other trim work), wallpaper removal, and nail-hole filling
techniques just to name a few.
A to Z Construction provides all drop
cloths, dustsheets, paint sheets, paint tarps or protection films
that are required to protect nearby surfaces that are not being
painted.

We will trench to the foundation, mask
and cover all areas subject to overspray, water blast (3500-4000
psi) or sandblast to remove dirt, loose, stucco, peeling paint and
all foreign matter that could impede adhesion of the coating. If
efflorescence is present, we will chemically treat the surface, and
repair the surface with cement patching compounds, elastomeric
patching compounds and waterproofing cement if necessary. We will
allow all surfaces to dry at least 24 hours before application of
primer/sealers, which will be applied at an approximate rate of ¼
gallon per hundred square feet. If efflorescence has been a problem,
an efflorescence inhibiting primer will be used. All primer/sealers
will be allowed to dry in accordance with manufacturer's
instructions. Textured coating will be applied at the manufacturer's
suggested rate of 2½ - 3 gallons per 100 square feet at
approximately 500 psi to the desired texture and pattern. We will
apply these finishes with proven effectiveness against sun, rain,
fading and moisture. And finally, we will sand, patch, primer and
paint your home's exterior trim with your choice of the highest
quality acrylic or oil base finish paints and
stains.
