Key Principal #2. The Moisture Meter

It isn’t easy to feel any wood and assess whether or not the moisture level is adequate for painting. And, believe it or not, most painters do not have access to a moisture meter (which measures moisture levels).

This essential tool is just as crucial as paint can opener.

Moisture is the leading cause of paint peeling.

Almost all paint requires the moisture content to be below 16%.

Few exterior painters in Richmond, TX, use or even own moisture. There are many reasons why paint peels. However, painting when the surfaces are moist is among the most common.

#3. What Is The Proper # of Coats?

In addition to ensuring that the guarantee is kept, two coats of paint will increase the life of your home’s paint job by many years.

The sections that got two coats of paint had far more paint left than the others.

According to industry norms, the second coat of paint adds about 30-35 percent to the overall cost of the project. When you consider that it has the ability to increase the paint job’s lifespan by 5 years, it is an excellent investment.

#4. Proper Weather Conditions

What is the best season for exterior painting? We get this question a lot.

It is determined by the temperature.

Before painting, it is recommended by manufacturers to allow the temperature to drop below 90 degrees Fahrenheit and rise above the mid-’30s for at least 24 hours. Paint can lose its ability to cure completely if it freezes before it has had a chance to dry fully.

It’s also possible that if it rains soon after the surface has been painted, the moisture will soak through the paint, causing bubbles to form.

Because of this, it’s best to wait a few more days until the chance of rain is less than 30-40 percent for the next 24 hours.

Unfortunately, many painting contractors do not follow this professional standard. Instead , they try to finish it as fast as possible and then go on to the next job.

Given that we offer warranties on our outside painting services, we follow a number of best practices, one of which is paying close attention to the weather.
