Perimeter Walls, Fences, and Gates

The longevity of perimeter structure coatings varies by material type and environmental exposure: Block Walls: Professional coatings typically last 7-10 years with proper preparation, Stucco Surfaces: 5-8 years depending on sun exposure and moisture conditions, Metal Fencing: 5-7 years before maintenance may be required, Wooden Fences: 3-5 years for painted surfaces, 2-3 years for stained finishes. Factors affecting longevity include sun exposure (south and west-facing surfaces typically deteriorate faster), irrigation spray contact, soil proximity, and environmental conditions. Our application methods and premium materials maximize coating life in these challenging conditions.

Proper block wall preparation is critical for coating adhesion and longevity: 1) Thorough Pressure Washing - Removes dirt, efflorescence, and loose material, 2) Crack Identification - Assessment and repair of structural issues, 3) Caulking Application - Sealing of joints and penetrations, 4) pH Testing - Ensures alkalinity is balanced for proper adhesion, 5) Specialized Priming - Appropriate primers based on surface condition, 6) Moisture Testing - Verification that walls are sufficiently dry before coating. For older walls with previous coatings, additional steps may include remediation of failing paint and treatment of mold or mildew issues. Our comprehensive preparation process addresses each wall's specific conditions.

Yes, we specialize in painting wrought iron fences and metal gates with a process designed specifically for these items: 1) Thorough Degreasing - Removes oils and contaminants, 2) Rust Remediation - Chemical or mechanical removal of existing corrosion, 3) Hand Sanding - Creates proper profile for adhesion, 4) Specialized Priming - Metal-specific bonding primers, 5) Premium Application - Multiple coats of industrial-grade enamel, 6) Detail Work - Careful attention to scrollwork and decorative elements. For gates with mechanical components, we ensure proper masking and protection of hinges, locks, and operators. Our finish options range from satin to high-gloss depending on your aesthetic preferences.
