Background to the Construction

A customer from Zushi City, Kanagawa Prefecture, contacted us, saying, “I am concerned about the cracks in the joints and the deterioration of the exterior wall, so I would like to request a quote. I want the work to last a long time, so please suggest a highly durable paint.”

We proposed “Super Seranflex,” which has a very high durability among the paints we handle.
Super Seranflex is an ultra-high durability paint with a lifespan of 24 to 26 years.
We also proposed the joint sealing material (caulking) SR Seal H100, which has an ultra-high durability with a lifespan of about 30 years!
Additionally, they requested repairs for the damaged tile roof. While replacing the tiles would be ideal, the existing tiles were discontinued, so we addressed the issue with repair materials!

After obtaining estimates from three companies, the customer entrusted us with the project as we offered the lowest price!

Joint Replacement Construction Procedure

1. Removal of Existing Sealing Material

We will remove the existing sealing material using a cutter or similar tool. This is commonly referred to as sealing, caulking, or joints. It is a crucial area as it can easily lead to water leaks and cause cracking or lifting of the siding. Cracks and peeling are signs of deterioration!

2. Masking Tape Application

Confirm the position for applying the tape and carefully apply it to avoid any embedding into the surface.

3. Primer Application

Apply the primer with a brush or similar tool, ensuring there are no missed spots.

4. Filling with Sealing Material

Place the nozzle of the caulking gun against the bottom of the joint and fill it adequately. The sealing material used is SR Seal H100 from Sunrise Co., Ltd. This material has significantly better surface weather resistance compared to conventional modified silicone sealants, and it combines weather resistance, adhesive durability, and stress relief properties. By selecting the H100, which possesses these high-level performances, we can adapt to the harsh environments of all four seasons. The expected durability is approximately 30 years.

5. Finishing with a Trowel

Use a trowel that matches the width of the joint to press firmly and finish smoothly.

6. Removing the Masking Tape

We will promptly remove the masking tape after finishing. That concludes our work.

This time, we were able to finish beautifully without any issues!

Exterior Painting Work Procedure

1. High-Pressure Washing

We thoroughly remove dirt and moss from the exterior walls with high-pressure washing! If any dirt remains, it can affect the adhesion and lifespan of the paint, so we wash carefully. We also provide free washing of the exterior and entrance areas.

2. Protection of Various Areas

We will protect areas that will not be painted, such as windows, sashes, and floors, using masking tape, blue sheets, and polymer masks. This is a very important task in the painting process! If protection is neglected, gaps can form, allowing paint to seep in or resulting in uneven lines.

4. Primer Application

This is the first application of paint after high-pressure washing and substrate treatment, and it is the paint that ensures the middle and top coats adhere well to the surface. A well-applied primer makes a significant difference in durability and finish!

This time, we are using the DAIYA Wide Sealer from Seika Japan (formerly Daiflex) as the primer, which is suitable for a wide range of exterior wall substrates. It is an adhesive paint with excellent adhesion to various existing paints (existing coatings). Being water-based, it poses no concerns regarding flammability or solvent odors, making it ideal for renovation work.

5. Middle Coat

Next is the middle coating. This is an important process to bring out the performance of the paint, achieve a beautiful finish, and eliminate uneven application!

6. Top Coating

Next is the top coating. This is the finishing touch for the exterior wall painting. We will ensure that there are no uneven spots or missed areas, focusing on achieving a beautiful finish! The paint used is DAIYA Super Selanflex from Seika Japan Co., Ltd. (formerly Daiflex). The manufacturer’s expected durability is about 24 to 26 years.

We encourage you to take a look!

7. Painting of Auxiliary Parts (Rain Gutters, Eaves, Shutter Boxes)

The Necessity of Exterior Wall Painting and Maintenance Schedule

◇ The Necessity and Purpose of Exterior Wall Painting

The role of exterior wall painting is primarily to protect the walls. Like the roof, the exterior walls are directly affected by rain, wind, and ultraviolet rays. Regular exterior wall 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 wall painting. Since the exterior walls determine the first impression of the house, maintaining their beauty enhances the comfort of the residents and the evaluation from the surroundings.

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

◇ Maintenance Schedule for Exterior Wall Painting

Generally, the lifespan of exterior wall painting is said to be about 7 to 10 years. However, like the roof, this can vary 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 cracks.

By regularly checking the condition of the exterior walls and performing maintenance as needed, you can protect your valuable home while maintaining its appearance.
