Primer serves as a preparatory coat before applying the final paint, promoting better adhesion,
durability, and a uniform finish. It is crucial in the following scenarios:
1) Bare Surfaces: When painting over bare wood, metal, or drywall, primer creates a foundation
for paint adherence.
2) Stain Blocking: To prevent stains from bleeding through the paint, especially when dealing with
water, smoke, or tannin stains.
3) Uneven Surfaces: Primer helps smooth out irregularities, providing a consistent surface for paint
application.
4) Color Changes: When transitioning between dark and light colors or using specialty finishes,
primer enhances color accuracy and coverage.
5) Increased Paint Lifespan: Applying primer can extend the life of the paint job by offering a
protective barrier against moisture and other environmental factors.
The number of coats needed for your project depends on several factors, including the surface type,
color changes, and the condition of the existing finish. Generally, we recommend:
1) Primer: Start with a primer to enhance adhesion and create a uniform base.
2) Base Coats: For most projects, two coats of paint are standard to achieve optimal color richness
and durability.
3) Color and Surface Considerations: Dark or vibrant colors may require additional coats for full
coverage. Additionally, surfaces with uneven textures may benefit from an extra coat for a
smoother finish.
Our team assesses each project individually to determine the ideal number of coats, ensuring a high-
quality and long-lasting paint job.
Latex paints typically dry within 30-120 minutes, but it may require up to 30 days for complete curing.
It’s advised to regularly open and close freshly painted windows and doors during this period to prevent
sticking. Additionally, adjusting sprinkler heads away from the newly coated surfaces is recommended.
VOC stands for “organic compound”; encompassing substances like paint thinner,
mineral spirits, alcohol, gasoline, ethylene glycol, acetone, and xylol. These compounds pose
risks to both human health and the environment. While many architectural paints include some
VOCs, the EPA is regulating their levels to mitigate their impact. As VOCs evaporate during
paint drying, they can contribute to the formation of low-level smog, prompting efforts to limit
their presence for environmental and health considerations.
More Residential Services We Provide
Brick Painting and Staining
Bricks are commonly used in our area for their ability to withstand extreme weather and moisture while looking great and keeping us warm in winter. But over time, the stones can lose their luster, especially outdoors. UV rays and heat can leach the color from the stone if you don't step in to help. This is where our painters come in with brick painting services.
