Exterior Painting

In New England, rain, UV light, snow, ice and humidity are all factors that affect exterior surfaces. This is why exterior painting is about more than just color. It is a layer of protection to your building or home. Exterior painting begins with the preparation process of sanding, scraping and priming all bare surfaces. The next step is choosing the proper paint for your exterior surface. Finally, proper paint application is essential for long lasting beauty. CPG Inc. has the expertise and experience to make sure your building or home is protected against the elements while providing beauty to your structure.

Protect

Our painters cover grounds, plantings, and parked vehicles with drop cloths to shield them from paint drips and overspray. If boom lift equipment must be driven on a grassy surface, we lay down plywood to prevent tire damage. Caution tape, barriers, and wet paint signs are used as needed to direct employees and guests safely around the work site.

Prepare

All exterior surfaces are scraped and sanded to remove loose paint and create a smooth foundation. Rust is removed as needed, and most homes or buildings are power-washed with proper solutions to eliminate dirt and mildew buildup and create better paint adhesion. If needed, our skilled employees also perform light carpentry repairs. Also, all joints are caulked to prevent moisture from getting into the wood.

Apply

To ensure good paint adhesion, rust-resistant primers and industrial finishes are applied to metal surfaces and oil primer is applied to bare wood prior to the top coat. Depending on your home or building’s exterior, we use a variety of techniques such as brushing, rolling, and spraying to guarantee a flawless and professional paint finish for your exterior.
