Painting with a twist — Chandler, AZ

Before booking exterior painting in Chandler, homeowners can inspect for peeling or blistering paint, excessive chalking (a powdery residue when rubbed), and any signs of mildew or algae, particularly on shaded surfaces. Checking for cracks in stucco or wood, and assessing the overall condition of existing caulk are also important. Noting these issues helps in understanding the scope of preparation required and provides a basis for discussion with the painting professionals.

For Chandler's desert climate, we recommend high-quality acrylic-latex paints from brands like PPG Paints and Sherwin-Williams, known for their superior UV resistance and durability. Their formulations are designed to withstand intense sun exposure, preventing premature fading and chalking. We also select products with excellent adhesion for stucco and other common building materials in the area, and those with mildew inhibitors to combat occasional humidity. These choices ensure a long-lasting and vibrant finish.

Stucco preparation in Chandler begins with thorough cleaning, typically pressure washing, to remove dirt, chalking, and any organic growth. We then inspect for and repair any cracks or imperfections using elastomeric patching compounds that allow for expansion and contraction. A high-quality, alkali-resistant primer is applied to ensure optimal adhesion and seal the porous surface. Premium acrylic-latex topcoats are then applied, often using spray and back-rolling techniques for maximum adhesion and a uniform finish on the textured material.
