If you prioritize sustainability, experts at Kavern Building Restoration can help choose the best eco-friendly paints for your residential property. These paints usually have low or no VOCs. As such, they are perfect for your home's interior spaces.
If you have spaces with specific needs, experts will likely choose specialty paints. Some examples of these spaces are your bathrooms and kitchens. They are highly prone to moisture and mildew. Specialty paints are usually resistant to mildew and moisture. This explains why they're perfect for your kitchens and bathrooms.
For the exterior space
Like interior painting, you also have many paint options when it comes to painting your exterior space. The common options are:
- Acrylic paints
- Oil-based paints
- Elastomeric paints
- Weatherproof paints
Painting experts at Kavern Building Restoration will likely choose acrylic paint if all you need is durability and fade resistance. The good thing is that acrylics can also effectively protect your structural materials against various weather elements
If you reside in a location where temperature changes are significant, Kavern experts opt for elastomeric paints. As the name suggests, the paints are highly flexible and elastic. They tend to expand and contract based on temperature changes.
Weatherproof paints are specialty paints designed to keep your structural materials protected from extreme weather elements—harsh sun exposure or heavy rain. These paints are designed to extend the life of your paint job.
Oil-based paints serve as a protective shield for your property. The problem with them, however, is that they are less eco-friendly and hard to clean.
Surface preparation
After choosing the ideal paints for your interior and exterior spaces, experts at Kavern Building Restoration will proceed by preparing the surfaces for painting. Surface preparation is crucial to achieve smooth, long-lasting finishes. Below are a few step-by-step guides for prepping the surfaces:
Cleaning—surface cleaning helps to eliminate dirt, grime, and dust from the interior and exterior surfaces.
Patching & Repair—in this step, the experts will assess the surfaces to find holes, cracks, and inspections that could after the paint job. After that, they proceed by repairing and patching the affected areas. For exterior surfaces, painting experts also use stucco patching or wood repairs, depending on the materials.
Priming—after patching and repairing the surfaces, priming often follows. This step is especially important if you have porous surfaces. You should also consider surface pricing if you're painting over dark colors. By priming, your new paint will easily stick to the surfaces for enhanced durability.
