Exterior Painting Calgary – Exterior Painters Calgary

Exterior Painting Calgary – Our Exterior Painters in Calgary are familiar with all aspects of exterior painting, siding, soffit, facia, windows, doors, stucco, whether it is a Residential or Commercial project. We have painted thousands of exteriors in the last 30 years operating in Calgary and area.

At About Painting, when painting exterior wood, after the agreed on preparation to the wood surfaces. If required we apply one full coat of exterior oil based primer followed by 2 top coats of of finish material.

In most cases our process is prime + 2. This is our idea of two coats of paint on the exterior of a home.

The oil primer seals raw wood surfaces or bonds to the previous coating, any latex top coats are for superior colour retention. We are one of the few companies that use this procedure. In some cases our Exterior Painters apply primer to the areas that are bare wood (5-10% of the area being painted) and follow this up with two coats of finish on the balance of the area to be painted. In some cases we use a combination oil latex hybrid paint that is supposed to be self priming as well, I.E. (no primer required). Every Exterior Painting project we are on may have a specific process.

It would probably be in your best interests to inquire with your potential Calgary Exterior Painters what is their idea of two coats of paint. This is very important especially if the areas described are being painted the same colour again. It is difficult for us to compete on price if you are not receiving two full coats of paint, if you would like us to spot prime damaged areas and apply one coat of same colour finish you will find our prices extremely competitive. During our on site estimation process we will determine the best process needed for your specific project.

We would appreciate pricing the same amount of work someone else is quoting you. It is important that you know what our competition is quoting. We offer the best in exterior painting – Exterior Painters Calgary.
