Power Sanding
One aspect of preparing an exterior wood structure for painting is Power Sanding - this is a process by which either some or in
some
cases all of the paint is removed from the homes siding or trim.In the case of the later we use the term "Stripping" where we
remove
all the previous layers of paint using the power sanders exposing the bare wood. This method of power sanding is used when the
structure has complete paint failure (peeling) and we need to get to the original substrate to ensure a good bond with the primer.
This in turn sets up a nice base for the finish coat - using either a solid stain or a traditional paint.
There are situations where it may be best to replace the siding due to severe curling or cupping of the shingles or clapboard.
In this case TWIN HOME SERVICES can do the job with our carpentry services .
Power sanding will cause a tremendous amount of dust, so great care needs to be taken when setting up the work area.
Such as properly covering the area to contain what is falling to the ground along ith letting the client knows what windows may be
opened and which door theyable go out of while the sanding is being performed.
Power sanding can be done on the siding of the home which in many cases are Cedar or on the Trim which in many cases are Pine.
Both of these wood materials are a "soft" wood and truly require the skill of a trained mechanic to do the sanding.
With a machine that is spinning at 4500 RPM’s it doesn't take much for a home owner to end up with an unsightly looking house .
