Exterior painting & plaster repair

Image
Tomas Czodor project in August 2023 Before any exterior painting of this house could commence my company needed to fix all cracks on this smooth plaster house (over 50). All cracks was open, widen and patched. For patching on cracks was used stucco tape, special adhesive so new exterior plaster will bond to the surface and as smooth plaster was used Rapid set Wunder - Fixx. After changing of some rotten pieces of lumber on balcony followed as it was necessary.  All lumber was primed before installation. All new plaster was primed, all wood where peeling was occurring  was scraped, sanded, patched and primed. Before painting could commence the house was power washed. On stucco was applied 3 coats of new paint (house was previously brown). Beside stucco and trim we painted garage door, front door, side door, all metal vents and light covers and balcony floors as well. On this house we used Behr paints as customer wanted used exactly same products as my company painted this house...

Sandblasting and painting the stucco columns

Image
Tomas Czodor project in March 2023 30 years ago client painted block wall what was peeling beyond repair.  Wall was approximatley 50 ft long.  Since that he encountered the problem of paint peeling. During free estimate what I m providing to all my potential clients I suggest that would look much nicer to sandblast old blocks and paint only stucco columns between. After client hired me for work all bricks was sandblasted for condition as new and as they looked when wall was built. Stucco columns between was repaired with new stucco coat, prime and painted. On stucco was used exterior paint from Dunn Edwards.  www.gorgeouspainting.com #sandblasting
