Many homeowners believe that painting is simply applying color to a wall. However, a lasting finish is 80% preparation and 20% application. Skipping steps in the preparation phase is the leading cause of paint failure (peeling, bubbling, and chalking) within the first two years. We follow a rigorous, proven process to ensure superior adhesion and durability.

1. Comprehensive Site Inspection

We begin by walking the perimeter of your home to identify underlying issues. We look for hairline stucco cracks, rotting fascia boards, loose caulk, and signs of moisture intrusion. Identifying these issues now prevents costly repairs later.

2. Deep Cleaning and Pressure Washing

Paint cannot bond to dirt, chalk, or mildew. We utilize professional-grade pressure washing services to remove years of accumulated grime, pollen, and mold spores. We use the appropriate pressure settings to clean effectively without damaging your siding or stucco.

3. Surface Repair and Masonry Patching

This is a critical step for Ocala homes, many of which are stucco. We repair cracks and surface imperfections using high-quality patching compounds that match your existing texture. If we encounter significant damage, our stucco repair and painting specialists restore the structural integrity of the wall before a drop of paint is applied.

4. Sealing and Priming

Florida’s masonry surfaces are porous. We apply a masonry sealer or conditioner to lock down chalky surfaces and create a uniform base. This ensures the topcoat adheres properly and provides an even sheen.

5. Precision Application

We use premium exterior paints applied via spray, roll, and back-roll techniques. Back-rolling is essential for stucco, as it forces the paint into the nooks and crannies of the texture, ensuring a watertight barrier. We apply two full coats to guarantee coverage and color retention.

6. Clean Up and Final Walkthrough

We respect your property. At the end of every day, we clean up our materials. Upon completion, we walk the property with you to ensure every detail meets your expectations and our high standards.
