Exterior Painting
MELBOURNE PAINTING COMPANY only uses the very best paints when it comes to coating exterior surfaces.
We are sensitive to your outdoor environment. We consult with you beforehand about whether and where we can place our equipment like on garden beds, lawns and pavements.
In preparation for exterior painting we pressure wash all external surfaces, keeping away from windows and doors to avoid any water seeping through to the inside of your home.
Our methods for painting exterior surfaces can include spray painting, therefore we mask-up/cover all required surfaces to prevent any potential over spray.
Project Management
Our professional project managers will make sure that everything is done right, the first time. We will take special care of plantings around the house and assure the homeowner that the project will proceed with a minimum of disruption. When the MEPACO crew is finished the only evidence of their visit will be an absolutely great paint job. There will be no debris, over-sprays, damaged plants or ladder marks on the roof edge.
At MEPACO we are available to assist with all stages of the project planning; budgeting, material and colour selection. We are happy to work with your architect/designer, or directly with you.
Preparation for Exterior House Painting
There are many different exterior substrates in residential buildings; concrete, block, brick, render and weatherboards. Each of these requires different types of coating materials for protection, preservation and beauty. The expertise in selecting and applying these paints, stains, sealers and coatings should be left in the hands of a professional, not the person who is serving in the DIY center paint department. Experienced painters know what materials are best and how to apply them because that is their profession.
Masonry surfaces; concrete, block, stucco and brick require a product that will not only coat and seal the surface, but will expand and contract with that surface as well. Elastomeric coatings will handle this expansion-contraction without cracking and compromising the protection.
Different types of substrates require different preparation and materials. Corrugated iron can be cleaned of chalking, pressure-washed, primed and painted producing many more years of life. Weatherboards should be scraped, sanded, primed and painted. It too, will last many years when properly cared for. Even aluminium guttering and downpipes may be painted to add to the beauty of a house. Choosing the right coatings for these applications is important and may be the difference between a paint job that lasts for a handful of years, to one that lasts for a decade or more.
