Surface preparation
admin • June 9, 2010
We’re firm believers in “pre-season” work before the team hits the field. You need to be ready! I’m talking about painting, not the football season. We are serious about superior surface preparation. Our prep work may include scraping loose paint, counter-sinking nailheads, and even using anti-mildew pressure washing. It’s more than just a nice paint job – it’s priming new and bare wood, caulking and sealing , and proper tarp coverage of sensitive areas, including plants and walk-ways. A great paint company is a great “prep”company as well.
