Some Facts of Paint Removal

For many home and business owners, the wallpaper that was so popular a few years ago now seems sorely out-of-date and unattractive. Often this is the situation with wallpaper because styles do change so quickly, and switching out the coverings can become quite expensive. For that reason, most people prefer to use paint. It’s less expensive and much more easily changed when the previous color just doesn’t work anymore.

Repainting your house is a chore every home owner dreads. Your home looks great afterwards, but the expense and effort of painting can be a real hassle. So be sure that your exterior house paint lasts as long as possible with correct paint removal. It may seem counter-intuitive, but correctly and thoroughly removing your old finish makes a huge difference in the appearance and durability of your new coat! That's why we recommend using professional removal every time.

Complete paint removal is necessary before you begin repainting your home. When the old is left on your house, it causes two main issues. First, it creates unsightly bumps, lumps, and bulges in your new paint, leaving your home looking less than stellar. However, the bigger problem is that the flaking old layer will prevent the new paint from lasting as long. In order to adhere completely for long-lasting, beautiful results, the fresh coat needs to be applied directly to the wood. Keep in mind that, especially in hard to reach areas, DIY removal often leaves something to be desired. Expert painting contractors will be able to ensure that your trim, gables, and soffits are all thoroughly stripped of old, peeling paint so the new will adhere properly for complete, full coverage.

While DIYers usually rely on scraping alone, most paint removal companies use a heating process to remove the finish from your home. Using a system of propane heaters and scrapers, this professional method causes the paint to loosen and bubble, making it easier to remove. It then comes away completely and without difficulty. This removal system ensures that all of the old paint is totally stripped off and, because it comes off effortlessly, the underlying wood is rarely marred in the scraping process. With a light sanding, your home is now ready to be repainted!

When selecting a paint removal contractor, be sure to choose experienced professionals. Ask to see completed past projects as well as references. Reputable contractors will protect your yard from debris, clean up after themselves, and dispose of waste in an environmentally sound manner. And if lead is a concern, be sure to hire licensed a lead paint removal company for the safety of your home and family.
