Elite Painting KC's 9-Step Process

Elite Painting KC's 9-Step Process

Powerwash
We rinse and remove any dirt, grime, or debris that may prevent the paint from adhering to the substrate of the home’s exterior.

Identify/Replace Wood Rot
Identifying the wood rot that is on your home’s exterior is done during the estimate process and is listed on the estimate that you will receive prior to Elite Painting KC’s arrival. Replacing the wood rot on your home is vital so that you have structural and surface integrity for the exterior components of your home, such as trim, shutters, siding, and more.

Scrape Loose Paint
We remove any loose, old paint, that would prevent proper adhesion when the new paint is applied.

Extensive Caulking From Kansas City to Overland Park, Midwest cities are exposed to extreme heat, cold, rain, and snow. The importance of caulking the exterior of your home properly cannot be overstated. Elite Painting KC understands this, which is why we will caulk your home extensively and use only the best caulking, Sherwin Williams SherMax Caulking helps keep your home sealed so that moisture cannot get behind the siding and trim. We only use the best caulking product so that the caulking has enough flex to withstand extreme temperatures without cracking.

Secure Any Loose Paneling
As we move around the exterior of your home applying the caulking, we will also secure any siding or trim boards that may have loosened over the lifespan of your home.

Oil Prime Raw Wood
Oil priming seals the porous surfaces of the raw wood, allowing the paint to cover the surface, resulting in a longer-lasting, clean finish.

Apply Paint Whenever possible, Elite Painting KC tries to spray all paint coatings. Spraying the exterior covers better provides a more even coat and has no brush strokes. Elite Painting KC offers only the best Sherwin Williams paints to our customers to ensure they get the highest quality from our process and the paint. We offer Sherwin Williams Latitude, Duration, and Emerald Rain Refresh.

Backroll and Brush as Needed
Areas of the exterior siding and trim with deep grooves will be backrolled/brushed as needed. This will ensure that all surfaces of the exterior are properly protected. Elite Painting KC may also need to manually correct areas that need touchup so that they have a consistent look across the whole project.

Brush and Roll Two Coats of Paint On Trim Boards
When the trim cannot be sprayed, Elite Painting KC will brush and roll the trim at the front of the house. This ensures your trim is completely covered and matched in finish and style specific to your painting project, allowing for pristine and perfect end results.
