Exterior Painting in Annapolis: What Do We Do Differently?
#1. Proper Power Washing Techniques
When power washing or pressure washing the exterior of your home, we let the chemicals do the work, not high pressure. We leave the high-pressure to Time Share salespeople.
We use the least amount of chemicals that kill mildew and get rid of dirt and pollen collected on the home.
Our cleaning products will not harm your plants or flowers!
FYI – We insist that the chemical stay on for 15 minutes. That’s the amount of time necessary to kill the mold spores.
If not, the mildew will grow back much faster.

There is no “one size fits all” for exterior primers. Whether you are painting Georgia Pine or pine from Canada, it’s not all the same primer.
What happens if you choose the wrong primer? The paint will peel.
Why?
Because the wood, primer and top coat of paint are not expanding and contracting at the same rate.
With the sharp changing seasons of Annapolis, it is important to have all 3 surfaces expanding and contracting at the same rate.
When choosing Klappenberger & Son, we can advise you on which primer will work best with your surface.
Exterior Painting in Annapolis: Two Coats Makes All The Difference
Besides applying two coats satisfies the warranty, it also extends the paint job’s life for years.
For example, the picture on the right clearly shows where someone brushed the edges and seams and then painted the exterior wall with a roller.
Two Coats Show A Lot More Paint!
Applying a second coat of paint usually adds about 30-35% to the total cost of the job. Considering it can extend the paint job’s life by 5 years, it is a wise investment.
Klappenberger & Son’s 5 year warranty on exterior is only valid when two coats of paint has been applied.
Do Protected Areas Need Two Coats Of Paint?
In some cases where the paint is still in very good condition and protected by the sun, one coat will probably be all you need.
When we give you an estimate, when will be happy to discuss the options that best protect your home and your budget.
