Wood Siding, Painting or Staining:

For the most part, stain is the same as paint. It is composed of pigments and a vehicle, ingredients that perform the same functions as they do in paint. Both stain and paint provide protection and add color, but that is where the similarities stop.The beauty of a stain finish lies in its ability to accent the texture of the wood. Depending on which type of stain you choose, you may impart a definite color to the wood or merely tint it lightly, allowing much of its natural coloring to show through.

• We pressure wash the stucco using a pressure washer. This will remove dust and dirt and also remove any loose paint from previous paint jobs.
• Then fill any cracks in the stucco. Using caulk for small hairline cracks but will need to fill the larger cracks with a thick sealant since it will hold its place more firmly.
• To ensure quality, we repair damaged areas by replacing the loose stucco, washing the damaged area and applying patching compound after the surface is dry.
• Finally, we choose paint able to stretch to adjust to temperature changes. It is dirt and mildew resistance: to minimize cleaning and maintenance requirements.
