Our rainy Northwest climate wreaks havoc on house exteriors, including siding, trim, decks, and railings. Maintaining a protective coat of paint will help repel moisture, moss, and mold and reduce the risk of rot. When you choose ITech for your exterior painting in Portland, we offer a complimentary consultation within the Portland area and detailed estimate based on your unique home’s needs. Our professional designer will discuss paint, finish and color options to ensure you are happy with the result of your exterior painting in Portland for years to come.
ITech Painters takes pride in each and every project we have the opportunity to work on, and our customers can find peace and confidence in the quality of exterior painting in Portland we provide. Each project comes with our 2-year warranty, ensuring that we stand behind our craftsmanship. Have a warranty question on your project? Just give us a call.
Yes, we do generally pressure wash all homes prior to painting to remove surface contaminants (such as dirt, spider webs, etc).
A couple exceptions to this are houses that recently had new siding installed and houses built before 1979 that contain Lead-based paint. If Lead Paint is present, pressure washing will only make the problem worse by blasting and spreading the Lead Paint throughout your yard and having the contaminated water enter your soil. The EPA and State of Oregon require that if pressure washing is used, all water and paint chips must be contained and trapped, which is nearly impossible to do around residential homes with Lead Paint. Therefore, we take extra time and precaution and simply hand wash and wipe down areas with surface contaminants prior to painting.
It is generally not a good idea to paint while it is raining, though there may be exceptions such as if the surfaces to be painted are covered or shielded from the falling moisture. If it begins to rain while we are in the process of painting, we will wrap up work ASAP and clean up any materials around the home. The rain may wash off some fresh wet paint, but beyond that, is relatively harmless to new paint once it has dried. It is Portland, so we work around the rain all the time!
Paint can be applied at temperatures above freezing. If it is not raining outside, and we have enough daylight and temperatures above freezing, we can paint exteriors. To ensure that the paint has enough time to dry before returning the following day, we may need to wrap up work around 2 or 3pm while the sun is still out.
Every house is different in regards to their painting needs and length of time. We will specify the amount of time we expect each job to take at the bottom of the estimate. Most full exterior projects take about a week, depending on the size of the home.
We require all homeowners to cut back and/or remove any plant life that may interfere with our ability to paint. Plants that are touching the side of the home must be cut back to the point where if wind blows they will not brush up against the home (usually around 3 feet or so depending on the plant). All landscaping must be cut back before our arrival.
The pricing for this exterior painting project can range from $7,000 to $10,000+.
Our project estimator will visit your site to discuss your vision and goals for the project. Material and process recommendations will be discussed, and scope determined. We will then deliver a detailed cost estimate for your review.
Once the scope has been determined and the cost estimate approved, our professional interior design specialist will meet with you to review design elements, including color selection, accenting and lighting, to cooperatively finalize plans for your project.
After carefully reviewing the plans and procuring the necessary materials, our skilled painters will introduce themselves and discuss any special considerations or requests regarding your space prior to beginning and completing your project.
Once the project is complete, an experienced representative will personally walk through and review the project with you to ensure your expectations have been met or exceeded and that you are happy with the final result.
