Exterior Painting

At MKZ Construction, we follow a step-by-step process for every exterior project in order to ensure that surfaces are properly prepared before the start of any painting job as well as to protect any of your valuables and areas of your home that are not being painted.

The process

1. Washing

At your request, we wash the walls using a pressure washer to remove dirt, spider webs, mildew, and major paint chipping. This ensures that there is a clean surface ready for preparatory work and painting.

2. Preparation Work

Before prep-work begins, drop cloths are laid down to collect loose material. Loose paint chips are scraped. Areas with scuffs are sanded. Caulk is applied to all joint gaps around windows, trimming, wooden siding, and other joints to insulate the surface from water intrusion. Exterior primer is applied.

3. Painting

The ready-to-paint walls, windows, doors, and trim are painted with high-quality, contractor-grade paint to achieve an even finish.

4. Clean Up

There are both daily clean-ups and a major clean up at the end of the project. Tools, equipment, and drop cloths are removed daily and stored neatly. Paint chips are picked up after prep-work.

5. Inspection

Together with the homeowner, the finished job is inspected and is not considered complete until, you, the customer is completely satisfied.
