Question 1

What materials and techniques do you use for specific surfaces?

Accepted Answer

For vinyl, wood, aluminum, or fibrocement siding, we use 100% exterior acrylic paints with matte, satin, or glossy finishes. For stucco, we use microporous coatings that allow the material to breathe while protecting it. For metal roofs, we apply anti-corrosion products after high-pressure cleaning and priming. Our application techniques include uniform spraying, rolling, or brushing as needed.

Question 2

What is the ideal period to carry out the work?

Accepted Answer

The ideal period for exterior painting is between May and September, when temperatures range from 10°C to 30°C with low humidity. We avoid very windy or rainy days. Our flexible planning allows us to seize the best weather windows to meet your schedule while ensuring durability.

Question 3

What is the price range for professional exterior painting?

Accepted Answer

The cost of exterior painting varies based on factors like total area, surface complexity, coating condition, material type, and paint selection. Prices generally range between $2 to $6 per square foot, including preparation, materials, and skilled labor. Our quotes are detailed and without hidden fees, with flexible options to suit different budgets without compromising quality.

Question 4

What types of paint and finishes do you recommend for the Quebec climate?

Accepted Answer

We recommend 100% exterior acrylic paints resistant to weather, UV rays, and humidity for longevity. These paints allow materials to breathe while protecting against water infiltration. For metal roofs, we use high-performance anti-rust products, and for stucco or fiber cement, microporous paints. Satin and semi-gloss finishes are ideal for durability and ease of maintenance. We also adjust paint selection based on the building's orientation.

Question 5

What coating materials require specific preparation?

Accepted Answer

Wood surfaces require careful sanding and application of penetrating products for maximum adhesion. Stucco, being more porous, needs thorough cleaning to prevent moisture accumulation. Metal must be stripped and treated against rust before application. Elastopro masters these essential steps, using specific primers adapted to each material for an impeccable and durable result.
