Residential Exterior Project in West Knoxville, TN

In October of 2021, CertaPro Painters was contacted by a homeowner in West Knoxville to help repair and repaint their home exterior over a four week period. This project required carpentry, caulking, specialty ladders, and much more! As a manor-style home, it was much larger than the average projects faced by painters in our area. Thankfully, this homeowner chose CertaPro Painters! Only our team at CertaPro is suited to handle projects of this size and scope while still delivering top quality results when finished. For large properties  like this one, you need professionals with a record of success. You need, CertaPro Painters!

CHALLENGES:

Due to the existing terrain and location of the Manor, specialty ladders were required for access on the rear side and left sides of the home. Both forty and sixty foot tall ladders were required to safely access the areas of the home.

With moisture issues evident around the pool brick retaining wall, we had to provide solutions for failing masonry by applying a weather flex masonry sealer.

Due to the scale of the project, a large team of CertaPro crew members had to be mobilized to work on this project all throughout the month of October.

CONDITIONS:

Wall Discoloration – After years of being exposed to the elements, the exterior of the home became a faded off-white with heavy discoloration.
Multiple Surfaces – This project involved the painting, staining, or repair of various surfaces including brick masonry, wood accents, and standard exterior house painting.
Rough Terrain – In order to ensure the new paint job would last, we had to bring out the best members of our team to compensate for the thorough planning necessary.

PROJECT INVOLVEMENT:

Consultation – Before any project begins, our team needs to be on the same page as the homeowner so we can identify all of the areas needing painting and/or repairs.
Repairs – Light carpentry was necessary across the property before any painting or staining could occur. This included masonry caulking for the brick retaining wall around the pool.
Wood Staining- Wood accents throughout the property required a fresh coat of staining to ensure the repairs would have a protective and beautifying layer around them.
Brick Painting – We did not simply spray the brick, but also back-rolled the paint into the substrate to allow for better adhesion and durability for the home’s long-term health.
Home Exterior Painting – After a quick color consultation, we painted the entire home exterior with a double layer of Sherwin William’s best product(s).
Final Walkthrough- Our work is always backed by a free warranty, because we want you to have the best results in the months to come. As part of that goal, we never leave a client hanging! Only after a firm thumbs up, are we ready to leave the property.

The Dangers of Discoloration for Knoxville Homeowners

As homeowners, there are few things we dread more than discovering discoloration in parts of our home. Be it black, yellow, or any other color, discoloration is often an indicator of more significant issues at play. Knoxville homeowners should be aware of the dangers of discoloration and should take immediate action when they discover any such signs.

1. Reduced Property Value
Discoloration can reduce the value of the home. If a house is affected by mold or water damage, then buyers are likely to avoid it. The presence of discoloration can make the house unappealing and could take longer to sell. Additionally, the cost of repairs can be very high, and it is often challenging to get rid of the problem entirely. Therefore, homeowners are wise to pay attention to even minor discolorations in their house.

2. Mildew & Weathering Residue
One of the biggest dangers that discoloration poses is mold and mildew growth. Mold and mildew thrive in damp environments, so if your walls or ceiling have discoloration that’s caused by excess moisture, you could be putting your health at risk. Mold and mildew spores can trigger allergies and respiratory problems, and if left untreated, can lead to more serious complications such as asthma attacks and lung infections.

3. Structural Damage
Discoloration on your walls or ceiling could also signify a more serious problem such as water damage or structural damage. Water damage can weaken your home’s foundation and cause numerous problems such as leaks, rotting wood, and even structural collapse. Structural damage, on the other hand, can be caused by anything from a small leak to a major earthquake and can compromise the safety of your entire home.

Discoloration may seem like a minor issue, but it could be an indication of underlying problems that could pose significant dangers to the health and well-being of homeowners. It is essential to take preventive measures, such as regular checks and maintaining proper ventilation, to avoid discoloration problems in the first place. Where there is discoloration in the house, it is advisable to get professional help to resolve the issue. Taking care of discoloration issues promptly will ensure your family lives in a healthy, safe, and comfortable environment.
