There comes a time in every homeowner’s life when repainting the exterior house needs to be considered. Once the homeowner gets past the “should I repaint the house myself or should I hire a contractor” question, invariably, the “hire a contractor” option wins.  And for good reason.  Repainting an entire home is a huge time-consuming endeavor coupled with hidden expenses and pitfalls that are better left unexplored.  That is where the benefits of an exterior house painting service become evident.

Next in line is the “who to hire” question.  There are lots of painting services to choose from after all. Most of the time you will find that you are given a quick estimate and that estimates vary greatly in price.  This post is aimed to highlight how Universal Painting Contractors distinguish themselves from their competitors in the Fairfield/Vacaville/Vallejo and beyond areas.

1) We Start with a Precise Estimate

At UPC Paint, we take the time to meet with you at your premises for a thorough inspection of the exterior walls to identify areas that need repair or special attention.  Usually, when we point these areas out, the customer is surprised to learn of its existence. start with an on-location walk-through so we can understand your requirements and see first-hand the work that needs to be done. After the walk-through, we provide a written cost estimate and job start time.

2) Free Color Consultation

Choosing colors and quality paint types are crucial for a professional-looking finish.  Often the color selection must conform with HOA requirements and match the surrounding environment. With UPC Paint, you can leave this to us as we are color experts and have good relationships with multiple paint suppliers. We will suggest a perfect match for your house, suggest an alternate color for trim that will hold up to all weather conditions in the Solano and Dixon Counties. You will be pleased with the outcome.

2) Expert Preparation

A good finish is dependent upon thorough preparation.  You wouldn’t just want to paint over flaking paint, areas that have dry rot and uneven surfaces. Before painting can begin we have to chip away flaking paint, make all necessary repairs, put up scaffolding without hurting your plants, put up barriers to protect windows, plants and whatever else needs protecting.  We wouldn’t dream to slap on a coat of paint before all the repairs are done.

3) Experienced Painters Only

The entire crew at UPC Paint has been with us for many years and can tackle any exterior painting project, no matter how big or small or complex. Years of experience have taught them how to mask, chip, repair and tackle all blemishes and paint in the most expedient manner. They know every trick in the book to make your home look great.  Plus, they are trained to do the job with minimal disruption to your normal daily activities.

4) 2 Coats of Paint

In order to get the best possible finish, we always apply 2 coats of paint.  The first will be rolled on and the second will be sprayed.  Only then can we be sure that every nook and cranny is covered with a new coat of paint for that even finish.

5) Top Quality

We have set high standards for our team of professional exterior painters and we hold them accountable to it.  Apart from providing expert prep work and the painting, they are also expected to mind plants and clean up at the end of each day.  Not only that, we do expect them to respond to customer questions and comments in a friendly, professional manner.

In closing:

Exterior House Painting not just decorates your home but also protects it from the environments and gives it improved curb appeal.  Exterior painting should be considered part of home maintenance and done every 7-10 years.
