Exterior Siding, Stucco & Brick Painting in Calgary

On an exterior, most of the value is in what happens before the first coat. A few days ahead of the job we wash the surfaces to take off dirt and cobwebs, because paint applied over either of those is already failing. Loose paint gets scraped back, surfaces sanded, and caulking and wood filler close the gaps and cracks that let moisture behind the cladding. Bare wood gets an oil-based primer that penetrates and seals instead of sitting on top. That one choice is most of why an exterior lasts or lifts.

Windows, doors and anything else not being painted are masked off completely. Drop sheets go down to catch chips and drips, so your yard is no worse for our being there. Calgary gives a short exterior season and the weather sets the schedule. You can't paint a wet wall, and we'd sooner lose a day to rain than trap moisture under a coat. What we won't do is leave your house half-finished to go and start someone else's job while we wait. We stay on yours until it's done, so a rained-off day stays a day and doesn't turn into a fortnight.

Then two full coats of premium exterior paint, our standard for most houses, with a third where a colour change or a hard-weathered elevation calls for it. When we've gone you should see sharp cut lines, an even finish, and the small things done. Nobody can price surface repair from the street, which is why the estimate takes as long as it takes. Expect a rough number before we leave and the itemised quote within 24 hours. It's all covered by our two-year guarantee of quality.
