Caulking:
Caulking is important in sealing your home from water and its damaging
effects.
Cracked caulking can allow water to seep into underlying wood. The
result: Rotted window frames, window sills, and molding.
Our exterior painting includes replacment of caulking where required. |

Glazing:
Like caulk, window glazing is important in protecting windows from
water damage. Damaged or missing window glazing can also cause drafts
and loss of heating or cooling.
Our exterior painting includes replacement of window glazing where
required. |

Peeling
Paint:
Peeling paint may be caused for several reasons, including improper
priming of the bare wood before painting.
Our exterior painting includes scraping away old loose paint and applying
a primer to bare wood prior to painting. |
 |
Mold:
Mold on soffits, trim, windows, and siding is inevitable in the hot
humid climate of the south. Left unchecked, mold growth can have deleterious
effects on paint systems.
Our exterior painting includes pressure-washing with detergent and
bleach to kill mold and remove dirt from surfaces to be painted. |
