Vancouver House Painting

This lovely home had a difficulty factor in that the rear side of the house was 3 stories with a steep pitched aluminum roof. The aluminum roof would dent very easily and the painter was on the roof using a harness holding onto the harness and a bucket of paint and paint brush at the same time while trying not to slide down the slippery aluminum roof which dents easily and in the hot sun! Seems like this would take about 3 or 4 hands but I know he only has 2 like the rest of us.

This home was a 1 color paint scheme and the homeowner requested that each and every seam of the cedar shakes be caulked. This procedure is not recommended as it can cause the shakes to bend and warp. Prior paint jobs on this home had caulked the seams and in fact some of the shingles were warped.

There was plenty of loose paint to scrape on the fascia boards and around the windows which were primed before applying the finish coats.
