How to paint a house (the prep process). Pressure Washing Tips.

What happens here

After all the caulking and peel bonding has dried, the house is now fully prepped and ready for painting. This includes removing any remaining temporary items, ensuring surfaces are smooth, and confirming all repairs are solid. The fence is also power washed and stripped, preparing it for a solid color stain.

Goal: Ensure all prep work is complete and the house is ready for painting/staining.

What they say

We use a paint eater to actually sand that door jamb. This is Chris from BNK Painting. We're here back at this exterior. We got this exterior all prepped and ready to go. We're going to be power washing it now. We took off numbers. You can see the cocking we've done all around the house. the door jambs. We moved numbers. It's pretty dirty. Removed lights. Um, we actually got the numbers now painted black, sitting there ready to go. We're going to be removing the door to paint the door when we get ready to paint the house. But here's some of the cocking. We've got some peel bond some areas that were peeling and had some blistering. So, we use XIM peel bond to actually go over those areas. But you can see all the cocking that we've done. We've actually trimmed the plants back on this house to 2 feet back from the whole house. Here's some more peel bond that we've done on some blistering. And we're going around this. We didn't trim the plants over here because they're just up against brick. So, we there was no need to trim them. We've actually powerwashed the fence of this house cuz we're actually going to do the fence at the same time. Here's some more cocking. The same day we paint, which would be tomorrow, we would power wash or we'd actually stain the fence. Here's some more peel bond. We've got this door jam sanded. Got a and peel bonded. Here's a look at the fence after being power washed and stripped. Completely stripped all the old wood off it so it'll stain. We're going to use a solid color stain. We've now removed all the plants, cut them back 2 feet from the house. You can see all the cocking that we've done in the prep. This house is ready to go to be painted as soon as we're done powerwashing.
