The Exterior Painting Process

At CertaPro Painters® of Thousand Oaks, we excel at not only painting, but each of the services needed to complete a flawless finish. This means we have contractors dedicated to getting your home ready to receive a professional painting service.

Before a gallon of paint is ever opened, your home must be prepared. The first step is cleaning. We can use both hand and power washing to remove stains and dirt from the exterior of your house prior to your exterior painting service. This allows the new paint to adhere to the surfaces better, and for an even longer period of time.

Once your house is clean, our team inspects your house for any underlying issues that can cause paint failure. Homes can develop cracks and problems in the substrate. If these are not dealt with as they develop, bigger issues can grow from them. Foundations and substrates should be in good condition prior to painting. Putting the repairs in place now allows our crew to prime and paint your residence efficiently.

Our painting contractors are trained to provide you with the best paint coating for your house, regardless of its exterior. Most of the homes in our communities are covered with stucco, siding or brick. Adding exterior house painting to your to do list gives your home a fresh new look. We even offer each of our clients a free color consultation.

Types of exterior serviced include stucco, wood, vinyl, aluminum, brick, cedar and more. We also can assist with painting garage doors, decks, railings, fascia, and eavestrough.
