The Importance of Exterior Painting

Signs You Need Professional Exterior Painting Services

  1. Fading ColorsOver time, paint colors fade due to exposure to sunlight and other elements. Faded paint can make your property look aged and unattractive.
  2. Peeling and CrackingPeeling or cracking paint is a clear sign that the exterior is no longer protected and needs immediate attention.
  3. Mold and MildewThe presence of mold and mildew indicates that moisture has penetrated the paint layer, compromising its protective qualities.
  4. Bubbling PaintBubbling paint is often a sign of trapped moisture beneath the surface, which can lead to more severe issues if not addressed promptly.
  5. ChalkingChalking is when a white, chalky residue forms on the paint surface. This indicates that the paint is breaking down and needs to be replaced.


Choosing the Right Exterior Trim Colors for a White House

Selecting the perfect exterior trim colors for a white house can enhance its curb appeal significantly. Here are some popular choices:

  • Classic Black: For a timeless and elegant look.
  • Navy Blue: Adds a touch of sophistication.

How to Choose the Right Commercial Painter

Selecting the right commercial painter is crucial for the success of your project. Here are some factors to consider:

  1. Check References and Reviews Look for reviews and testimonials from previous clients to gauge the quality of work and customer satisfaction. Ask for references and follow up with them to get a better understanding of the painter’s capabilities.
  2. Verify Credentials Ensure that the painting company is licensed, insured, and bonded. This protects you from any liabilities in case of accidents or damages during the project.
  3. Get Detailed Estimates Request detailed estimates from multiple painting companies. Compare the scope of work, materials, and costs to make an informed decision.
  4. Communication Effective communication is key to a successful painting project. Choose a painter who is responsive, listens to your needs, and provides clear and concise information.
  5. Steps Involved in a Professional Painting Project Understanding the steps involved in a professional painting project can help you prepare better and set realistic expectations.
  6. Initial Consultation The process begins with an initial consultation where the painter assesses the condition of the property and discusses your requirements. This is followed by a detailed proposal outlining the scope of work, materials, and costs.
  7. Surface Preparation Proper surface preparation is crucial for a long-lasting paint job. This includes cleaning, sanding, and repairing any damages to ensure a smooth and even surface.
  8. Priming Priming is essential for good paint adhesion and durability. It creates a uniform base and enhances the paint’s performance.
  9. Painting The actual painting process involves applying multiple coats for even coverage and a smooth finish. Professional painters use high-quality brushes, rollers, and sprayers for optimal results.
  10. Final Inspection Once the painting is complete, a final inspection is conducted to ensure the work meets quality standards. Any touch-ups or corrections are made at this stage.

Larry Healy

From the RFP to the initial walk through – from the proposal acceptance to the planning session – from the first day of work through the final day – every person at Shaker was professional, thoughtful, friendly and helpful. The project was completed well within the anticipated time frame and at a very reasonable cost. During the quality control walkthrough at the end of the project no deficiencies were noted. Every member of the community had only praise for the excellent job Shaker did. It was the best painting project I have ever been involved in as a Community Association Manager.

Kenneth M Hofmeister
Homeowner
Everything. From Jason's first bid to the final coat of paint with [the project manager’s] crew, we were very pleased with the communication, the attention to detail and the care with which they protected the house, minimized the sanding dust and cleaned up after the fact carefully. The worry that we would have a major cleaning effort after the fact. We were able to clean and put back all the furniture, pictures and furnishings in less than a day.
Josh Mariea
Homeowner
I highly recommend Shaker painting to all our friends and family.
Christina Benevides
Association Manager
The Board and I were very satisfied with the initial presentation provided when bidding on the work. We were also satisfied with the overall work completed. Jason (Project Manager) was wonderful to work with and handled all requests and questions professionally and promptly.

Britinie Horvath
The crew did an amazing job staining the decks/stairs to our condo complex. They were very nice and did great work. I highly recommend them!
Thomas Richard Cruz
Facilities Manager
It is my great pleasure to provide this letter of recommendation for Shaker Painting Inc. Shaker Painting recently completed a full exterior trim replacement and paint of our five-story building, Broadway Junction, at 1165 Broadway, Denver CO. The Shaker team conducted themselves with professionalism and performed in a manner that was the least disruptive to all parties affected by the work. Closing-off parking spaces, managing staging area(s) for materials and the overall safety for pedestrians were some of the challenges presented to Shaker. Not a single complaint was issued for the duration of the work. Communication was excellent as Shaker personnel were required to access the roof and maintain the security setup at the building. As we have worked with Shaker on previous projects, we will continue to work with Brent Rumpf, Ed Gonzales, Jason Moore, and the rest of the Shaker team on future projects and I would recommend the same to any property and/or property management organization.
