"Today we're going to talk about painting siding and a lot of people ask me how do we apply, do we either spray or brush it exclusively or do we brush and roll it? Generally speaking, we brush and roll sometimes we spray if it's a stucco surface, but generally we really brush and roll. All we do in here is we brush the edges first just like in an interior. Then we roll it with a very thick roller which can get into all the grooves and underneath the little butts of the siding. That can typically be a difficult area for people who aren't familiar painting outside, but if you're using the proper size roller, it can actually get underneath there and get your paint in there. If you miss few spots, you can catch up with the brush or just jam the roller in there. And that's how we go about painting the exterior of your siding." - Justin Wong, general manager of Milestone Custom Coatings Ltd.
How-to Paint Siding
Calgary as the largest city in the province of Alberta, Canada offers a lot of painting companies that will provide not just the best but trusted names when it comes to its painting quality and performance. Milestone Custom Coatings Ltd. specializes in renovation situations where homeowners and office tenants will be living and working onsite while their project is being completed. Minimizing of disruption in a job site is one of the big things at Milestone.
Milestone's way of painting siding is very easy. As what Justin confessed, they generally brush and roll but sometimes they also spray. Preparing the surrounding area is the first thing to do. Masked the surface that are not to be painted such as roofing, flooring, furniture and the like with painter's tape so that it could not be a subject of paint splatters. Make sure also that the surface to be painted is free from dust, dirt and old paint. Start painting at the top and work way down. According to Justin, use proper size roller so that the paint can get underneath and if few spots are missed, paint it or just jam the roller in there. When done painting the whole surface, let the paint to dry before touching it.
That's how Milestone works. They make it a point to satisfy each costumer's painting needs. Feel free to visit their website (link below) and call them for free consultation.
