re[finish]
refinishing aluminum siding is a simple, long-lasting &
cost-effective way to enhance the appearance of your home.
the color choices are limitless & the final finish is both
beautiful & durable.
[the
process]
factory
finishes on aluminum siding products tend to degrade over time due
to exposure to sunlight & the harsh extremes of Northeast Ohio
weather. as aluminum siding ages its coating can become worn
& faded, chalky to the touch or even begin to disappear
completely. a thorough
power-wash & complete scrub & scour by hand will remove
any surface dirt & debris & prepare the oxidized existing
finish for recoat.
after
a few days for the surfaces to thoroughly dry, the finish work can
begin. windows, doors, fixtures & stone work are carefully
masked with plastic. landscaping, roofs, driveways, walkways
& all other surfaces not to be painted are carefully covered
with clean canvas drop cloths. seams around windows &
doors & areas where siding meets brick, stone or wood are
caulked & sealed with a premium siliconized acrylic latex caulk.
finally,
after all prep has been thoroughly completed, two thin coats of
Sherwin Williams Superpaint Satin are applied by airless sprayer
for a smooth factory-like finish. Both coats are often
applied in the same day to ensure proper inter-coat
adhesion. applying one thin layer over another ensures even
coverage & sheen.
Once
the siding has been completely coated, any wood trim, fixtures,
shutters, rails & other details will be painted as well.
finally, after a thorough clean-up, the job is complete.
[the
results]
upon
completion, your home will have a brand new, beautiful &
durable exterior coating.
