The final coat gets the attention. The preparation deserves it.
Before a fresh exterior can look its best, the surfaces underneath need attention.
This carousel takes you behind the scenes of the work paint contractors perform before starting the repaint: pressure washing stairs and walkways, masking surrounding surfaces, and preparing for coating application.
Cleaning helps remove contaminants that can interfere with paint adhesion. Masking helps protect windows, doors, and nearby finishes.
But a surface that looks clean isn’t automatically ready for paint. Loose coatings, needed repairs, moisture, and any primer or sealer requirements must also be addressed according to the project specifications.
At UCI PAINTS, written specifications and field inspections help guide and verify that process.
