Exterior Wood Trim & Siding
Proper preparation of wood surfaces is vital to insure the best paint adhesion and provide a beautiful, long lasting finish to your home. Various types of wood require different kinds of preparation. In addition, most wood products require re-caulking and repairs. On previously painted wood surfaces, hand scraping is necessary in order to remove all loose paint before painting.
Interior Painting
The proper application of paint on walls and trim can change the look of your home. Using the right paint, selecting the proper products, and using our professional techniques will give you the results you desire in your home and/or business. Our skilled painting professionals will identify any issues your walls or trim might have and proper preparations will be applied prior to painting. When accomplished, a custom paint project is guaranteed to improve the value of your home. We also specialize in decorative finishes as well as staining and lacquering of interior wood trim and furniture.
Stucco
The first step to painting stucco is to thoroughly clean the surface. In order to do this we begin by pressure washing the entire house. It is sometimes necessary to chemically treat areas that have been exposed to mold or mildew and it is normal to see permanent stains after this process. Hairline cracks are common and the material we use is designed to minimize their appearance. To achieve the very best results for your home, the paint is applied using a combination of airless spray, brush, and/or roller techniques. This will provide a full and uniform coverage of the stucco and insure a great-looking, long-lasting finish for your home.
Aluminum Siding
The process for painting aluminum siding begins with proper preparation. To insure this, New Creation Custom Painting uses a combination of pressure washing and hand washing to remove dirt, oil, or chalking paint from the surface. On chalky surfaces, it is necessary to clean and sometimes add a chemical bonding agent. All landscaping and plants are covered gently with drop cloths and windows and doors are masked off with paper. The products we use are specifically manufactured for aluminum surfaces and are applied with an airless sprayer to produce an even finish that will last for years.
Wood Siding Staining
Finishes can be brushed, rolled, sprayed or applied by dipping. The application technique, the quality and quantity of finish applied, the surface condition of the substrate, and the weather conditions at the time of application can substantially influence the life expectancy of the finish. How a finish is applied to cedar is important for durability and good performance. When used as a natural finish, the service life of a water-repellent is only one to two years depending upon the wood and the exposure. Treatments on textured surfaces generally last longer than those on smooth surfaces.
Wood Decking & Fence
Wood decks and fences are generally constructed of cedar or treated lumber. They are most often stained with a semi-transparent oil stain on the deck floor, post, rails, and fence. This material is designed to add color and provide protection by penetrating the wood surface and leaving a wood preservative inside. The most common problem with deck finishes is on deck floors. Solid stains or paints almost always begin to fail quickly due to extremes of water, sun, and traffic. If your deck is new, we strongly recommend using a semi-transparent stain specifically designed for decks. If your deck has been previously painted or stained with a solid body stain that has begun to fade, it can be repainted or re-stained in the same manner. We recommend the same specifications and products for fences.
