SURFACE PREPARATION

In order to provide a durable and lasting finish, proper surface preparation is required. Our attention-to-detail begins with...

• Cleaning, using Environmentally-safe Chemicals
• Removal of Dirt, Atmospheric and Manufacturing Contaminants, I.E., loose paint, rust, or graffiti
• Using Sanding Disks, Needle Guns, Roto-peening Tools

Especially on exterior jobs, we make sure all necessary conditions for applying coatings follow the coating manufacturer's specifications, such as...

• Air Temperature – Temperature cannot be too cold or too hot, even though current latex paint can be applied with temperatures as low as 35ºF
• Surface Temperatures & Humidity – affect how the paint will adhere and dry
• Wind Conditions – Even when using roller applications, over-spray is always a concern, so to ensure a professional paint job, we sometimes have to delay a job until the winds calm down.
• Film Thickness – it is critically important to the success of any coating project that the coating should be installed or applied with the manufacturer's specified film thickness which is measured in mils (or thousandths of an inch), which can range from 4 to 60 mils, depending upon material selection.

PAINTING

We take extra steps to ensure that our spray application equipment is properly maintained, our painters well-trained and experienced with the following equipment...

• Conventional Air Sprayers
• Airless Sprayers
• Air-assisted Sprayers
• Electrostatic Spray Paint
• HVLP (high-volume low-pressure) Equipment

Typical Wet Film Gauge When applying paint, our experienced painters are highly-skilled in conventional coating application methodology, such as brushing and rolling. Furthermore, we constantly monitoring weather conditions and, more importantly, we ensure that the paint is applied at the proper film thickness. Using wet film gauges, we take regular readings to ensure the paint is being applied at the manufacturer's specified thickness. If the coating is too thin, it will not afford the proper protection, while coatings that are too thick can cause cracking and peeling.

Employing the proper coating system on a specific substrate, such as concrete or metal, is critical to the life span of the coating. Especially when there are environmental and/or ambient conditions affecting the coating types, such as...

• Alkyds / Oil-based Paints
• Epoxies (polyamides, polyamines, novalacs)
• Polyurethanes (catalyzed, aliphatics, acrylics)
• Polyureas
• 100% Solids Epoxy Applications
• Zinc-rich Coatings

Of course, many jobs still require the use of conventional application methodology, such as a paintbrush or rollers. To assure that we always use the proper high-quality rollers (mohair, ½-inch, ¾-inch, 1-¼ inch), all depend on the particular paint type being applied.
