At Colarossi, preparation starts with the selection of colors. We understand that it doesn't matter if it's the interior or exterior painting preparation of your house or business, color says a lot about who you are and how you want to be perceived. We pride ourselves on making you look great.

We can help you make color selections based on several factors including furnishings, flooring, decor, and surroundings. We can also work with your designer or recommend local designers to assist you in achieving the desired look that's right for you.

STUCCO AND CEMENT SURFACES:

Neutralize mildew with a combination of outside bleach, TSP and detergent to leave an uncontaminated, clean surface for paint. We will allow all surface to dry before any application of paint.

Large cracks must be V-grooved out and all other surface defects, such as holes and the like must be repaired using appropriate patching materials to match the surrounding surface profile. Dust surface and spot prime all patched area with the appropriate primer and finish coat.

WOOD SURFACES:

Remove all dirt, chalk and surface contaminants that will interfere with adhesion of subsequent coats, without damaging the substrates or adjacent area. Wash and mildew treat if necessary. Wire brush all loose and peeling paint and dust surfaces. We will then use scrapers, sanders or grinders to create a featheredge. All of the above preparation procedures will be followed by a spot prime or a complete prime if needed.
