Brick Exterior Repaint in Belmont Community

Initial Condition
The property presented several unique challenges from the outset. The exterior paint was outdated and, more critically, contained lead—common in homes painted before the 1980s. Moreover, the homeowner was eager for a change but needed guidance on selecting colors that would breathe new life into the home without clashing with its traditional style.

Color Selection Process
Our sales associate, Kelly, collaborated closely with the homeowner to navigate through various color palettes. After several consultations, they settled on a scheme that included rich dark green and creamy tones. These colors not only complimented the Tudor style but also provided the contemporary touch the homeowner desired.

Lead Containment
The first step in our painting process was addressing the lead-based paint. This involved setting up a secure perimeter around the home and employing a team certified in lead containment. We adhered strictly to safety protocols, ensuring that all lead particles were safely encapsulated and removed, posing no risk to the environment or our crew.

Painting Multiple Surfaces
The project required a versatile approach as the exterior comprised different materials, including brick, stone, and wood accents. Our team used a combination of brushes and paint sprayers to achieve a uniform finish across these varied surfaces. Each material demands a specific technique to ensure that the paint adheres properly and lasts for years to come.

Challenges
One significant challenge was the weather. The project’s timing in early October meant we had to plan meticulously around cooler temperatures, which are crucial when wearing Tyvek suits for lead containment. This protective gear is essential for safety but can become unbearably hot if the temperatures climb too high. Fortunately, our planning paid off, and we managed to complete the project within the scheduled week without any weather delays.

Special Equipment and Techniques
Equipped with advanced paint sprayers and an array of ladders to reach the upper echelons of the home, our crew worked efficiently to transform the home’s appearance. The use of sprayers allowed for an even coat over large surfaces and intricate woodwork, while brushes handled the finer details around doors and windows.

Project Completion
The transformation was dramatic. What once was a fading facade is now a vibrant showcase in the Belmont community. The homeowner’s joy was palpable—thrilled with the new look that not only modernized the home but also enhanced its historic charm.
