Wood & Metal Gate Renovation

CHALLENGES:

While the wood and metal gate was the primary focus, we also found moisture damage on the driveway wall and stucco exterior surfaces.

A wide variety of skills and materials were necessary for this project to be a success. Areas of expertise include wood staining, metal gate renovations, rust removal, semi-gloss painting, and stucco damage repair. When you need more than exterior painting, call the expert renovation team at CertaPro Painters of North Scottsdale.

CONDITIONS:

Warped Wood – Stress on the wood and uneven shrinkage due to water damage causes the surface to become warped; no longer flat and smooth
Rusted Metal – Parts of the metal gate had rust spots that needed to be treated before any priming or painting could begin.
Moisture Damage – The exposed location of the property left it vulnerable to years of water damage, which is especially harmful to wood and metal surfaces.

PROJECT INVOLVEMENT:

Light Carpentry – CertaPro Painters of North Scottsdale removed the old wood panels and sourced new wood that was cut and fashioned to fit in the metal gate.
Power Washing – The wood and metal gate had to be power washed to remove dust and debris before deep treatment could begin.
Rust Removal – Our team removed the rust spots using a wire brush, then treated the problem areas with a rust-inhibiting DTM primer.
Stucco Repairs – Moisture damage on the driveway wall and stucco surfaces had to be patched, repaired, and primed with a moisture blocking primer.
Painting – The metal was given a DTM semi-gloss paint. Two coats of stain were applied to the wood on the garage doors & wood gate. A subsequent two coats of exterior paint with a flat sheen were applied to the driveway wall and exterior stucco surfaces.
