Paint Removal is the Key to Beautiful Exterior Paint


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.
