Colorado Springs House Painters
When you own your own home, or even if you are renting long term, you take pride in your home. Appearances are everything and keeping it looking good starts with a fresh coat of paint, especially if it hasn't been done for over 8 years. Your Colorado Springs exterior will last for less time than it might in many other areas around the country that don't face the relentless Colorado sun beating down. The hot / cold transitions that go on year round are hard on the home as well. Paint coats take a beating, caulking expands and contracts and wet spots can cause damage as well. The ultra-violet rays take their toll on finished painted surfaces causing fading and peeling, which can eventually lead to a somewhat disheveled appearance. But just as importantly, the wear and tear begins to show, and without quality refinishing, will accelerate the damage that can happen to wood, stucco and other finishes causing a potential greater cost down the road. So painting isn't just a refinishing job for good looks, it serves the purpose of extending the life of house surface materials for a longer period of time than if no refinishing was done. Think of the painted surface as the skin of the house. When it's healthy, so is your home.
Most house painters are skilled at prepping surfaces for maximum adhesion and consequent protection, and Pro Painters C.S. are no exception. We can't stress enough the value of surface prep and creating the most positive adhesion. Each surface that is going to be recovered requires somewhat different approaches. For example: metal surfaces like eaves troughs and gutters, garage doors and iron fences and some window frames are abraded more thoroughly than say, a wooden surface. The weather can easily compromise the finish if the sanding and priming is anything less than perfect. We have the tools and materials for abrasion readily available at all times so there is never compromise. Wood needs to be free of any old glossy paint and must be lightly sanded to make sure all loose flakes are removed and a good rough surface is available to take the paint and allow it to stick for a good period of time. Most plastics do not need to be painted but should be checked, nevertheless, for cracks and looseness. If plastic surfaces do need to be refinished, possibly for color, it is important to select the right paint necessary for a smooth lasting finish. While we perform these services it's a good idea to remember if you are on a budget is that the more we have to do to prepare for painting walls, doors and trims, the more we need to allow for cost, albeit, moderate.
