Exterior Commercial Painting FAQs

What Kind of Paint Should Be Used on Metal Awnings?

Use an oil-based paint over a premium primer. We suggest using two coats of paint. You'll want to wait until the first coat of paint is completely dry to the touch before applying the second coat of paint.

What Is the Best Way to Waterproof Brick?

First, thoroughly pressure wash the entire brick area you want to seal. Allow the brick to dry completely before sealing it. Select the type of sealant you would like to use. Sealants come in three categories - paint, surface sealers and penetrating sealers.

Paint is the least expensive. However, because it covers the brick completely in an opaque layer of paint it does not allow the natural brick to show through. Paint does not last as long as a surface sealant or penetrating sealant and will require regular maintenance like any exterior house paint.

A surface sealant is more expensive than paint but dries clear, lasts longer and requires less updating. Surface sealants do not soak into the porous brick surface.

A penetrating sealant is the most expensive option. These sealants are specifically formulated to soak deep into the porous surface of your brick home. Penetrating sealants can dry clear. Penetrating sealants require less maintenance and can last up to 30 years.

If you choose a penetrating sealant or surface sealant, be sure to select a brand that allows the brick to "breathe" or moisture can become trapped and cause damage to your home.

What Kind of Roofs Can Be Coated?

Roof coating should only be done by a professional. There are four types of roofs that benefit from coating.

• TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) is the most common roof material installed on commercial buildings today. A single-ply primer should be used first before coating the roof.
• Modified Bitumen is found on many commercial low slope roofs. It is an asphalt-based rolled-roofing material that performs great with a coating.
• EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a completely synthetic rubber-based single-ply material found on many commercial buildings. EPDM roofs must be primed before coating.
• Both commercial and residential metal roofs may be coated. Extra coating must be applied to the seams, screws and penetrations to ensure moisture does not get trapped.

What Factors Affect the Estimate for Painting an Apartment?

Many things can affect a painting estimate but consider these factors when discussing your project with your painting contractor.

• Surfaces and finishes
• Prep work, repairs or patching needed
• Quality of the paint
• The number of coats needed for proper coverage
• Specialty equipment or processes needed
• Timeline to complete your painting project
• Size of your painting project

How Do You Restore a Badly Weathered Deck?

The most time-consuming part of refinishing an old, badly weathered deck is identifying and replacing broken and rotten wood. Once the deck is repaired, power wash your deck and allow it to dry completely before continuing.

Next, strip areas with peeling paint or finish. You do not need to strip the entire deck unless you are changing the color. Sand your deck until it is smooth to the touch. Apply two coats of a high-quality premium stain or sealant. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next coat.
