Five steps.
No skipped ones.
Scrape
Every loose flake pulled by hand. Wire brushes on spindles. Nothing gets painted over.
Heat guns on stubborn alligatoring. Chemical stripper where layers are too thick to pull clean.
Sand
80-grit to 120-grit. Orbital on flat boards. Hand-wrapped on profiles and corners.
Dust extraction on every pass. No shortcuts on the corners — that's where paint fails first.
Repair
Rot filled with epoxy. Nail heads countersunk and puttied. Cracks caulked with 50-year sealant.
Bondo for surface repairs. Abatron LiquidWood for structural rot. We don't paint over problems.
Prime
Oil-based primer on bare wood. Stain-blocking on water damage and tannin bleed.
Zinsser BIN shellac on knots and stains. Two coats on end grain. No flash-through on topcoat.
Topcoat
Two coats minimum. Cut-in by brush, rolled flat sections. Wet edge maintained throughout.
Benjamin Moore Porch & Floor or Sherwin-Williams Porch & Floor Enamel. Your color, our finish.
