What is Exterior Paint Removal Spokane?
Exterior paint removal is a full-scale restoration process that strips failing layers from siding and trim down to the original bare wood to ensure a permanent paint bond.
Homeowners with sun-baked siding often face the frustration of paint flaking off in massive chips as soon as the weather turns hot. Here is the unvarnished truth regarding exterior paint removal in Spokane: rolling expensive new paint over failing, brittle base layers guarantees total exterior failure when the weather shifts.
Complete Exterior Scraping
We do not rely on random pressure washing, which violently blasts and splinters old, dry cedar siding. We set up massive tarps directly over your landscaping and use specialty infrared heating tools that safely bubble the brittle paint completely loose from the bare wood instantaneously.
Our crew physically scrapes every single loose, sharp edge absolutely flush. After powerfully sanding the giant wooden boards completely bare, we aggressively push thick, oil-based primer deep inside the massive thirsty pores. The incredibly tight resulting grip guarantees exactly your newly painted house will endure Spokane weather for years incredibly well.
