Exterior painting is a fantastic way to rejuvenate your property's appearance and protect it from the elements. However, the key to a successful and lasting paint job lies in proper preparation. At FreshPaint, we're here to guide you through the essential steps to ensure your home is ready for its makeover in the Mississauga, Oakville, Etobicoke, Brampton, and North York areas.

1. Clean and Clear the Area

Start by removing any obstacles, outdoor furniture, or decorations around your home's exterior. This ensures a clear workspace for our team and prevents any accidental paint splatters.

2. Power Wash the Surfaces of Home 

Dirt, grime, and mold can hinder paint adhesion. Power washing your exterior surfaces thoroughly helps create a clean canvas for the paint to adhere to, ensuring a smooth and lasting finish.

3. Repair Any Damaged Surfaces 

Inspect your walls for any cracks, holes, or rotted wood. Our team can expertly repair these issues, ensuring a solid surface for the paint application.

4. Sand and Prime

For optimal paint adhesion, sanding any rough spots and applying a primer is essential. Primer helps create a uniform base and enhances the paint's longevity.

5. Choose the Right Exterior Paint

Selecting the right paint for your area's climate and your home's material is crucial. Our experts can guide you in choosing the most suitable options for a beautiful and durable result.

6. Protect Landscaping and Fixtures

Cover plants, bushes, and outdoor fixtures to prevent accidental paint splatters. This extra care ensures that your landscaping remains as vibrant as your freshly painted home.

7. Apply Multiple Coats of Paint

To achieve a vibrant and even finish, multiple coats of paint are often necessary. Our skilled painters apply coats with precision, guaranteeing consistent coverage.

8. Inspect and Clean Up 

Once the paint is dry, we meticulously inspect the results and make any necessary touch-ups. We'll also ensure that the area is cleaned and any debris is removed.
