Surface Preparation & Protection
Most paint failures are caused by poor preparation—not the paint itself. That’s why every exterior project at Remod Exteriors begins with detailed surface prep designed to protect your home and create a stable foundation for long-term performance.
Our preparation process includes pressure washing to remove dirt, chalking, and mildew; scraping loose or failing paint; securing exposed or raised nails; caulking seams, joints, and trim gaps; priming bare wood and exposed surfaces; and carefully masking and protecting windows, doors, landscaping, and walkways. Each step is intentional and completed before any finish coat is applied.
Adhesion, Longevity & Performance
Proper preparation is what allows paint to bond correctly and perform year after year—especially in Colorado’s harsh climate. Without it, even the best paint will peel, blister, or fade prematurely.
By thoroughly prepping surfaces and priming where needed, we improve adhesion, protect underlying materials, and extend the life of the finished paint system. This process helps prevent common failures, supports manufacturer warranties, and ensures your home’s exterior remains protected—not just freshly painted.
