2. How long does the exterior painting process take?

The duration required to finish an exterior paint job can vary depending on several factors. These factors include the size of the painting area, the number of coats needed for adequate coverage, weather conditions during the project, and the complexity of the surfaces involved. It may extend the timeline if the area is extensive and requires multiple coats and priming to achieve a flawless finish. Moreover, unfavorable weather conditions, such as high humidity or extreme temperatures, can impact drying time and potentially prolong the project. However, with careful planning and coordination, most exterior paint jobs can be efficiently completed within a few days, resulting in a stunning and long-lasting outcome.

3. What type of paint do you use for exterior painting?

At Robert Gordon Services, we pride ourselves on exclusively relying on Sherwin-Williams products, a brand consistently demonstrating its unwavering commitment to excellence. Time and time again, their products have proven to be of the highest caliber, surpassing industry standards.

Our meticulous selection of Sherwin-Williams products ensures that your investment in our services is one that will truly stand the test of time.

4. What type of prep work do you do before painting?

Before commencing any project, our team meticulously inspects the designated area that requires painting. This comprehensive assessment entails the removal of old paint, mending any damaged surfaces, and thoroughly cleansing the area to eliminate dirt and debris. Furthermore, we take great care in safeguarding nearby surfaces from paint overspray or any potential damage throughout the duration of the project. Once the area is suitably prepared, we apply primer as needed and initiate the painting process. Additionally, we meticulously attend to all necessary trim and siding details to ensure a flawless and enduring aesthetic. To guarantee long-lasting results, we exclusively utilize top-of-the-line paints in all of our projects.

5. How do you ensure quality control?

We are committed to providing our customers with quality service and excellent results that will stand up over time.
