Exterior Painting Work Procedure

1. High-Pressure Washing

First, we thoroughly wash the exterior walls with high-pressure washing to remove dirt and moss! If dirt remains, it will affect the adhesion and durability of the paint, so we wash carefully.

We also wash the exterior structures, floors, and inside the rain gutters.

2. Masking

Next, we use masking tape, blue sheets, and polymer masks to cover windows, sashes, floors, and other areas that will not be painted. This is a very important task in the painting process! If masking is neglected, gaps can form, allowing paint to seep in, and clean lines may not be achieved. We will also repair cracks with resin mortar!

3. Surface Preparation and Crack Repair

We will repair the cracks.

4. Primer Application

After completing high-pressure washing and surface preparation, we apply the first coat of paint. This primer is essential for ensuring that the middle and top coats adhere well to the surface. A thorough application of the primer greatly affects durability and finish! The primer we use also has surface adjustment properties, filling in fine cracks (fissures)!

5. Middle Coat

Next is the middle coat. This is an important step to bring out the performance of the paint, achieve a beautiful finish, and eliminate unevenness!

We used SK Kaken’s Ceramishilicon (N-20) for the paint.
The durability is said to be about 12 to 14 years, but it can vary depending on sunlight and other factors.

6. Top Coat

This is the finishing touch for the exterior wall painting. To achieve the intended effect, we always apply three coats for the exterior wall painting.

7. Accessory Painting (Rain Gutter & Metal Parts)

After finishing the surface preparation like scraping, we apply the primer and top coat to complete the work! We ensure that everything that can be painted is thoroughly coated.
Metal parts (Nippon Paint/Fine Urethane)
Rain gutter (Nippon Paint/Fine Urethane)

8. Balcony Waterproof Coating

We apply a primer, intermediate coat, and top coat that matches the existing waterproofing.

9. Cleaning

That concludes the work.
The customer was very satisfied with the finished result!

About This Project

The customer requested a bold change from a white exterior wall to a completely different color, and we proposed a striking black. I was quite nervous until the completion of the exterior wall painting, but I think it turned out really cool!

The customer also said, “It looks great, and I am very satisfied. Thank you!” which made me very happy.

The Necessity of Exterior Painting and Maintenance Schedule

◇ The Necessity and Purpose of Exterior Painting

The role of exterior painting is primarily to protect the exterior walls. Like the roof, the exterior walls are directly affected by rain, wind, and ultraviolet rays. Regular exterior painting helps prevent these damages and plays a role in extending the lifespan of the house.

Additionally, making the house look beautiful is also a role of exterior painting. Since the exterior determines the first impression of the house, maintaining its beauty enhances the comfort of the residents and the evaluation from the surroundings.

If you want to extend the lifespan of your home and maintain its appearance, exterior painting is necessary.

◇ Maintenance Schedule for Exterior Painting

Generally, the lifespan of exterior painting is said to be about 7 to 10 years. However, like the roof, it varies depending on the type of paint used, the painting method, and climatic conditions. Inspections are necessary 3 to 5 years after the first painting to check for signs of deterioration such as fading, peeling, and cracking.

By regularly checking the condition of the exterior and performing maintenance as needed, it is possible to protect your valuable home while maintaining its appearance.

Can Exterior Painting and Roof Repair Be Done Simultaneously?

◇ Benefits of Simultaneous Construction

The benefit of doing exterior painting and roof repair simultaneously is the cost performance. Since the exterior walls and roof are high areas, scaffolding must be set up to ensure safety. If done separately, scaffolding needs to be set up each time before construction, incurring costs each time. By doing exterior painting and roof repair together, scaffolding can be set up just once, reducing those costs.

Additionally, the reduction in construction time is a significant advantage. Furthermore, simultaneous construction makes it easier to match the colors of the exterior and roof and achieve a sense of design unity. This helps maintain visual beauty.

◇ Points to Note for Simultaneous Construction

When performing exterior painting and roof repair simultaneously, there are several points to be aware of. Since simultaneous construction requires specialized knowledge and skills, it is important to find a reliable contractor.

Also, the number of construction days is a point to check. Simultaneous construction takes longer than separate construction, so it is necessary to plan in advance to avoid affecting daily life.

◇ Maintenance Prioritization

The order of maintenance depends on the condition of the house. Generally, roof repair and painting are often prioritized. The reason is that the roof is susceptible to rain and wind, and if left unattended, it may lead to leaks or condensation, potentially affecting the structure of the building itself. However, the deterioration of the exterior walls should not be overlooked. If there are obvious damages such as cracks or peeling, prompt action is required. Which to prioritize depends on the situation, so it is recommended to check regularly.
