House Painters Victoria

House Painting Process

Step 1: Evaluation of the State of the Walls

Before our company works on your walls, we will send a representative to check out the interior walls or the exterior of the house to evaluate the condition of the surfaces. This will prevent any potential issues, like rotten walls or any necessary minor repairs needed, that you may face when your walls are not sturdy.

Our representative will check every nook and cranny to ensure that you will be getting what you paid for. You will discover any potential construction lapses before the start of construction, which means that you can plan for any additional expenses ahead of time.

In addition to this, we can inform you about any additional costs that will possibly be incurred due to the state of your walls. If your wall is not stable enough, the finished output would not look as appealing. The cracked walls will produce the look of an uneven surface. If there are any construction failures, we will also inform you whether we need to fix and cracked or damaged surfaces.

Step 2: Discussion of the Project with the Client

Now that we have finished evaluating the structure of your house, we will inform you about our findings regarding the state of your wall and how this can affect the painting job. The first thing that we will discuss with you is the type of paint that will be best used based on our evaluation and your allotted budget.

The type of paint that is best used can be determined by several externals factors like the durability of various paint brands and types. We will also look into your budget to determine the best brand that will provide the best value for the money. On top of that, we will also consider how the paint will be applied.

There are several other factors that will be taken into account before we start the job. Since we have a wide range of paint color options, we will present you with all of these color choices. We can also mix and match paints to ensure that we can achieve the color you want for your wall paint.

Just tell us what color you want for your walls and we will produce exemplary outputs. We can also send you a sample of the paint in case you are confused about the color of paint that you wish to choose.

We will discuss all these factors with you so that you will know what to expect from our company. This will also ensure that the client will be fully informed regarding the procedure before we proceed with the house painting job.

Step 3: Projected Estimates (Budget and Scheduling)

After we have agreed on the project, we make sure that you know what will happen during the entire process. We keep you in the loop about the costing and schedule of the project. While the figures may change due to unforeseen circumstances, we will try to stick to our projected estimates regarding the budget and time.

Before we proceed with the house painting project, we will make sure that we are on the same page with our client. Unlike other house painting service companies that surprise you with exorbitant service charges and prices, we work on making sure that our clients are satisfied with our output. Once we have agreed on a set price, we try to ensure that we work with your budget.

On top of that, we know that you would want us to finish the house painting at the quickest possible time. However, we also do not want to compromise the quality of our job. In order to ensure that we will have a smooth professional relationship, we will keep you informed on our projected timeline.

Therefore, you would know the schedule of the jobs that need to be done around the house. You would know the steps and processes that we will undertake and how long they usually take. After discussing the projected estimates and agreeing on the estimated cost and schedule, we are now ready to get down to business.

Step 4: Commencement of Work

After all those talks and discussions before we start the projects, it is time to get down to business. We have employed a standard procedure that we will follow when working on a project. However, we can also adjust our process depending on the state of the structure. We will strive to provide our clients with the best type of service necessary for your satisfaction.

a. Surface Preparation

Before starting the actual house painting task, we will first prepare the wall that will be painted on. We will wash the walls to remove any lead that can be found on the surface. You should also trim the surface to prevent unevenness of the walls.

When working on a newly constructed house, you must be certain that the walls have already been cured. For a quicker cure, you can wet and wash the walls with a hose daily to cut the curing time in half. However, when working on an existing home, you need to be more thorough since the surface will be more prone to molds and mildew.

You will also realize that these types of walls are more prone to imperfection. They are also prone to chipping and peeling. In addition to this, you will need to pressure clean the walls to ensure that any dirt and old paint will come off. Power washing the walls of your home will ensure that no debris will be left on the wall before you start painting.

b. Caulk Joints, Sand Walls, and Patch Surfaces

After our representative has checked the walls, they will be able to point out which parts of your wall will need caulking. We will also caulk joints like door and window frames. In addition to this, we will also seal molding and fascia boards along with any cracks and voids that can be found on the wall.

We will also patch old stucco surfaces with a new one in case that the old surface has chips or pits. In order to paint on an even surface, we will also sand wooden surfaces and replace surfaces that are already rotten.

c. Protect Floors, Doors, Windows, and Lights

For a more thorough painting job, we will protect any items that should not be painted over. In order to do this, we will place protection over your doors, floors, windows, and lights to ensure that they would not be touched by the paint.

This form of protection can take in the place of the usual newspaper for your floors and plastic for other valuables. It may seem like a simple step, but it is completely necessary to achieve a professional finish. We will ensure that only the surface that needs to be painted will be painted on since we also want to protect all your other belongings.

d. Apply Primer

Our Victoria House Painting Contractors never skimp on this step as we know the importance of this process. When you prime with a quality sealer, the paint will stick better. Since sealers have high resin content, it allows for a good surface to paint over because it is able to lock everything in place. It is also important to prime any stains on the wall before starting the actual painting job.

For a newly constructed home, it is important to check if the walls have been fully cured. This is especially true if you are working with stucco. In the event that the walls have not been cured completely, you can use a hot stucco primer. This is to ensure that you can paint over the wall once the primer dries.

On the other hand, when you have a vinyl surface, you can use a latex primer. This type of primer also works for wood sidings. However, when you are working on a wall that is dusty, it is vital to use a chalky wall sealer since the paint will not adhere to a dusty wall.

e. Apply Two Coats of Paint

Once we reach this step, it only means one thing: We are nearing the completion of our project. This is the part when the surfaces have been cleaned and evened out. This means that it is now time to apply the paint that you have chosen prior to the commencement of work.

When applying paint, we ensure thorough application for a more even application. Moreover, we ensure that a second coat is applied to produce the full color of the paint. In addition to this, it will also allow the paint to last for a long time and it will also produce a better-finished output compared to applying one layer of paint.

Despite having two layers of the paint coating, the paint would not be too thick since we strive to paint the walls evenly without any lumps. Our house painters have been trained professionally to ensure that the output will be consistently perfect.

f. Finishing Touches

We are now officially ready to wrap up our house painting project. However, we will also touch on the often overlooked components of other house painting companies. In order to finish our house painting project, we will also paint other decorative details that are not covered during the initial painting session. We will paint over your doors, shutters, and molding to produce a professional finish.

Step 5: Cleanup Work after the House Painting Project

After wrapping up the house painting works, we would not leave your home dirty. We want to maintain a good working relationship with our clients. This is why we are bent on providing customer satisfaction from the beginning of the project until the time we leave your home.

Once we have finished the painting work, we wish to ensure that we finish our work with complete perfection. Other house painting companies could leave you with paint chips scattered on the floor. Moreover, there could be paper protection lying around the house, but that would never happen with Victoria House Painters.

We want you to move in back to your home with a smile on your face as you have nothing more to worry about. Our job is not done until you are fully satisfied. We will make sure that your home is not only freshly painted, but we will also ensure that your home will look clean and new.

Apart from our overqualified professional painters and our tangible belongings, the asset of our company is our satisfied clients. We believe that our business will only progress if our customers are satisfied and our favorite brand of advertisement is the word of mouth of our previous clients.
