Plum Island (Part 1) 🏝️
Jeff and Erin’s home has a brand-new look! This was one of the biggest restoration projects we’ve taken on.
The previous paint job wasn’t sealed properly, allowing water to get behind the siding, which led to extensive rot and peeling paint. The street-facing side of the home proved to be especially challenging, but we were up for it. 😅
We replaced both the wide siding boards and the 2-inch battens where needed, stripped and prepared the existing wood, and primed every new board on all sides before installation to fully seal the wood. Every knot was also spot-primed three times with oil-based AllPrime to help prevent bleed-through in the finish coat.
We pride ourselves on our prep work and attention to detail!. We never cut corners. Every surface is thoroughly scraped, sanded, primed, and caulked before receiving two finish coats. The battens were properly caulked on both sides to help prevent future water intrusion, while still allowing the siding system to breathe through the designed air space behind the boards.
