Painting Contractor, Pressure Washing, East Hampton NY, 11937, Painting, Power Washing, Tips, Blog

Welcome to another edition of the O’Shea Experience!  Today the personnel were divided into two teams to accomplish a large volume of work at two locations simultaneously.  Staying adequately hydrated and ensuring that there was enough of the proper equipment at each job site proved essential, and valuable.  Working hard on a hot Friday was a great way to wrap up a week which included driving rain and severe thunder.  Maximizing company resources allowed for both job sites to achieve significant progress in the preparation for the exterior painting that has to be done. 

At both locations, pressure washing has already been done, and at one, there’s a second story to the home which still requires some cleaning to be ready for the sanding stage.  In order to properly pressure wash the second story of the client’s home, we will need to set up our scaffolding and planks, so we can safely reach and work.  We will apply our cleaning solution with a pump sprayer, and then wipe down with a rag.  Using a small pump sprayer to apply the solution enables the work to be done quickly and efficiently, with minimal loss of fluid due to drip or accident.  Once the entire surface has been properly cleaned, then we can go ahead and power-wash the windows and fascia on the second floor and then sand that as well.

At Michael O’Shea & Son Painting, we pride ourselves on being the best at everything we do.  We can meet all of your home maintenance and improvement needs.  Give us a call today!

Using Quality Paint

When it comes to painting, about 93% percent of a good paint job is in the preparation. This, however, doesn’t mean that the other 7% should be ignored. Preparation gets the surface ready for paint, but if the paint isn’t of good quality then it will soon fall apart from cracking, peeling and chipping. The quality of the paint, therefore, is vital to a good, long lasting paint job. Furthermore, the more you know about what makes good paint good will improve the chance that the job will be a good one.

Paint contains three main ingredients: pigment, solvent and binders. The pigment provides the texture, color and the hiding properties of the paint. Titanium dioxide and iron oxides are pigments that are used in better quality paints. Also you will find clay and silica being used, but these pigments don't hold up as well. The texture of the paint is a good way to determine if it’s of good quality or not. Cheaper pigment materials, such as clay and silica, cannot be ground as finely as the better ones.

A very simple way to test whether paint is of good quality or not. It is sometimes referred to as the touch test. Once you have selected a paint product and shook it well, you should then remove the lid and put your index finger and thumb into the paint. Then rub the paint between the tips of your fingers. If it feels gritty then it probably contains a inexpensive pigment or a lot of cheap filler such as clay. Quality paint will feel smooth and silky. http://www.MichaelOsheaPainting.com
