Exterior Painting:

Before you hire your painting contractor make sure to ask for their General Liability Insurance (for your property) and Workers Compensation Insurance (for employees). PTN is Fully insured. We carry General Liability Insurance of $3.000.000 and Workers Compensation of $1.000.000. To further your piece of mind a copy of our Certificates of Insurance are provided to our clients and potential clients, in the bidding process and our exterior painting service is backed by our 2 Year Labor Warranty and 25 Year or Lifetime Paint or Stain Warranty.

1. Pressure Washing: Pressure washing is the best method to prepare your home for painting. We only use bio-degradable, environmentally safe and specifically designed exterior cleaning products to assure that the environment is safe guarded and your house is thoroughly cleaned. We use a gas-powered pressure washer to blast away built-up mold, mildew, dirt and grime, delicate areas are hand-washed. When wash is done we clean up any loose paint chips and house is given proper time to dry.
2. Rotted Wood Repair: We repair and/or replace any rotted wood around windows, fascias, soffits, doors, decks and anything made of wood.
3. Preparation: The most important step in exterior house painting and or staining, preparing the surface prior to painting will make or break a project. Before start the prep work we protect the exterior with plastic tarps along the ground to catch paint chips. All shutters and downspouts are removed and house exterior is prepared for paint by sanding, scraping to remove all loose paint and flaking paint, sand any glossy area for proper paint adhesion, bare areas are properly primed.
4. Inspection: Inspection prior to painting to avoid any irregularities on the finish coat.
5. Painting: We only use Top Quality Paints and Stains and apply them under manufacturerÂ’s specifications. Before finish coat is applied we place canvas drop cloth along the ground, cover all light fixture with plastic sheet, protect grass, bushes and any non-painted area against drips. Full coat of tinted base primer on body is applied to proper protection and paint adhesion. House is given proper time to dry. Paint is applied with a brush, roller, or airless sprayer.
6. Clean-up: Our clean-up is performed daily & upon job completion.
7. Final Inspection & Job Closing: Window shutters, downspouts, fixtures, furniture and belongings are properly replaced. Leftover paint is labeled, dated and left in your home. Before the crew leaves, a Final Inspection is done with the homeowner. Final touch-ups are noted on a ‘punch list’ and completed before our crew leaves. A PTN Comment Card is left to be completed by the customer.

Green Seal Certified - Low to no VOC's, you pick it and PTN will apply it!

According to the EPA, the average home's interior air is three times more polluted than outdoor air, and interior paints are often the prime suspect for the source of this indoor pollution. Volatile organic compounds can slowly off-gas for years after initial application, and thus, you can now purchase "non-toxic" formulas made from natural raw ingredients such as water, milk casein, natural latex, plant oils and resins, plant dyes and essential oils or with formulations containing VOCs in the range of 5 grams/liter or less per can (so technically, these do still contain toxic ingredients; adding a color tint usually brings the VOC level up to 10 grams/liter). Here are some interior paints with no or low VOCs and/or natural ingredients.

          Ultra-Translucent Masonry Stain

Benjamin Moor Aura – Natura: The Aura line is low VOC and the Natura line is no-VOC. Practically odorless, 100% acrylic paint and primer. Goes on smoothly, covers well, and and it dries in about an hour.

Bioshield Clay / Casein: natural raw ingredient paints

Sherwin Williams – Harmony: A Good Housekeeping choice, the Harmony line uses sustainable raw materials, like soy and sunflower oil in their formulation to keep solvent content low and VOCs in the zero-VOC range. Advertised as mildew and bacteria resistant.

Green Planet: Soy-based resins with clay formulations and mineral pigments keep this line of paint as organic as your farmer's market produce. We also like that they disclose all ingredients in their paint formulas right there on the can.

Homestead: a 100% acrylic paint formulated to perform well on top of existing previous applications and has the appearance of milk paint.
