Before and after. proper application of Elastomeric coating
|

|
|
What is Elastomeric?
Elastomeric is a insulating and waterproofing coating with a thick rubber like thermal barrier. Elastomeric coatings look like regular paint and apply like paint but they are superior to conventional paints due to their very thick elastic dried film which has outstanding adhesion, flexibility, and water sealing characteristics. They are applied at 5 times the normal thickness of regular paint and not only do they bridge hairline cracks, but they also expand and contract with temperature variations helping to prevent future hairline cracks. While they prevent the penetration of wind driven rain, they also allow moisture vapor within the substrate to escape without blistering or peeling. The paint wall coating helps it to insulate and reduce sound transfer. The high resin content and mildewcides give you a coating that beautifies, is chalk resistant, offers superior mildew resistance and has very good color retention. What are the Recommend Uses and Applications Of Elastomeric An excellent choice for concrete and stucco structures which are prone to cracking such as stucco and wire lath construction, foam board and stucco, concrete block structures, poured in place and pre formed concrete. Mobile Homes and RV's The continuous rubber like film not only Insulates and Soundproofs but prevents water intrusion due to cracks in seams, prevents screws from backing out, flexes and stretches with temperature changes. It's like wrapping your home in a flexible rubber shield.
- Long lasting, 8-10 years
- Hides flaws fills minor holes and hairline cracks
- Alkaline resistant and efflorescence resistant
- Breathable coating allows moisture vapor to escape
- Outstanding Dirt Resistance
When is it the best time to use a Elastomeric coating?
Painting stucco or cement plaster can be a tricky proposition. Usually 20 to 30 days after the finish coat has been applied. Alkaline conditions can be very devastating to many paints. Therefore, it is important to measure the pH of the surface of stucco, or any cemented material, before you paint it. pH is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a substance. A pH of 7 indicates neutrality. pH readings decreasing from 7 indicate increasingly acidic conditions. Likewise, pH readings increasing up from 7 indicate increasingly alkaline conditions. When stucco is first applied, the surface is highly alkaline, usually at a pH of 12 or above. As the curing process proceeds, the surface of the stucco becomes more neutralized and the pH is lowered. The pH of properly cured cemented products is in the range of 8 to 10. Most manufacturers would recommend that traditional paint products not be applied to surfaces having greater alkalinity.
How much will this cost?
Typically 40% more than a standard acrylic paint job. the proper technique of application requires two coats to be sprayed and back rolled with the proper mil thickness and drying time per each coat. Most important DO NOT REDUCE (CUT) by adding water! Elastomeric is a coating NOT a paint, This will change the structure of the product and may cause improper elasticity and adhesion
What if my home is already painted or has a color coat?
Yes! Elastomeric can be applied to painted or color coated buildings. This product is designed to fix the problems of continuous cracking be allowing the coating to stretch and contract during settling and temperature changes. Elastomeric coating adds to the equtiy of your home and eliminates future hair line cracking.

When Is The Best Time To Paint The Exterior Of My Home?
Let's face it, sun, rain, wind and snow will take their toll on any house. A couple well-applied coats of paint can help prevent costly wear and tear. Think of it like this, exterior paint acts as your home's first line of defense against the elements. Then what does "well-applied" mean? Well, one of the first things you should consider when painting outdoors is the weather. After all, it's no secret that satisfactory painting in hot, windy or high humidity weather can be difficult. Keep in mind it's best to paint when the temperature is between 50° and 85°. Temperatures outside that range make the paint more difficult to work with. There are additive to increase or decrees the time it takes paint to dry. A professional painting contractor views the weather conditions and works with those windows of time for proper application. There are products that are made for certain climate conditions. For example Sherwin William’s manufacture a exterior product called “Super Paint” it was designed for applications of temperatures at 35 F. The professional painting contractor will know what products to use, what conditions required to apply them and what application techniques to use to give your home the proper protection for the climate conditions for your area. |

what are good brands of paint? do I need to get the most expensive? choosing the right paint for the job can determine success or failure of your project. this example is from one of our customers. “I decided on saving some money and was going to paint my interior doors in jams myself. I went to Home improvement center and asked one of the employees for some assistance on the project I was about to undertake. I told him I was going to paint my doors and trim and wanted a very good brand of paint that would last a long time and was be easy to wipe down. I chose the color and purchase the most expensive paint they carried. when I came home I proceeded to paint the doors and jams in my home. After spending most of the day and late into the evening painting. I started noticing the paint wrinkling in various places, and In other places it would peel off.” The problem the customer was having was going to result in failure regardless of what paint she purchased. The doors and jams were originally painted with oil based paint. When she would clean the doors and trim she would use Murphy’s oil to wipe them down. The customer bought interior latex gloss enamel paint. there was no preparation work done to the doors prior to painting. So regardless of how expensive the product may be does not mean it’s the right product for the job. What started out as a simple project that would save her money in the long run ended up costing her a lot of money. |

What If I Have a problem after there done?
Depending on if you hired a licensed painter or a non licensed painter there are steps that you can takeContracting without a license is a Class 1 misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $2,500 and/or six months in prison. One exception, however, applies to work where the materials and labor are less than $1,000, no building permit is required and the work is not part of a larger project. Cases like these are investigated and referred to the city or county prosecutor. Remember, if you contract with an unlicensed individual and are not satisfied with the work, the Registrar of Contractors
cannot require corrective repairs or restitution.
Regardless if you are licensed or not. Call the painting contractor and asked him to come out and take a look at the problem A reputable painters will come out and take a look and determine what the cause of the problem is. If you feel that the answer that was given to you was incorrect or the contractors not taken responsibility the next step is to have a meeting with the ROC and the contractor. if the contractor is not licensed that individual will receive a fine. you on the other hand will be stuck with a bad paint job and will require you to have someone come out and fix the problem for more money. Understand this. If you hire a non-licensed contractor you are accepting that you are the contractor and he is your employee. Once he is done with the job he no longer works for you. “you got what you paid for” |

how much money do I have to put up front?
This deftly depends on what painting contractor you hire. A professional contractor will usually require no money up front. Depending on the size of the job he may require draws as the job progresses. On our written proposal there are terms for payment. For smaller jobs I will usually write 100% on completion. Larger jobs will be progressive draws. The draws will be done by how much work has been completed. If 30% is done, then 30% of the total should be paid out. To many time I have heard “ I gave them money and they never came back or they would work for a few hours and then I would not see them for days” |

Whenever a company offers its services, it’s generally quick to note that it’s bonded, licensed, and insured (when it applies and if they are) but what does that actually mean? You may have been told to hire someone that is bonded, licensed and insured. Often times someone who isn’t will be cheaper, but you will have to accept all of the responsibility if something bad happens and, as Murphy’s Law clearly states – if something bad can happen it will. BondedBeing bonded means that a bonding company has secured money that is available to the consumer in the event they file a claim against the company. The secured money is in the control of the state, a bond, and not under the control of the company. If you would file a claim against the company and, after an investigation, would be paid out by this bond.This is slightly different but similar to what it means for an employee to be bonded. Being bonded in that case means that a bonding company has investigated your background and finds that you’re trustworthy and “good” enough to insure. In general, this is generally done when an employee has to handle large amounts of money or handle valuable property like jewelry or art. There is a very extensive and deep background check involved and what the employer gets is insurance that you won’t steal. If you do, then the bonding company pays out the amount of the theft. By being bonded, it shows that the employee is trustworthy enough for a bonding company to insure you up to a certain amount. Now, a company that is bonded means that a bonding company has funds LicensedFor certain professions, a license is necessary to show that you’re competent and permitted to conduct business in the city, municipality, or state in which the license was issued. For example, Painting contractors will have to be licensed to perform certain types of work and that license number will be printed on every advertisement they print. You can take that license number and look up their performance history in most states through the ROC or Better Business Bureau. InsuredThis is probably the most commonly understood of the three (second to being licensed) and this refers to what happens if someone gets hurt on the job. Let’s say a Painting company is painting the fascia of your home and someone falls off a ladder and hurts him or herself. If the company isn’t insured, then the claim gets filed against your homeowner’s insurance (bad). If the company is insured, then the claim gets filed against the painting company’s insurance.In summary, it’s important that anyone you work with is licensed, bonded, and insured. There’s no reason why you should have to work with someone who isn’t all three, unless being licensed doesn’t apply. Once you know that they are, research and confirm that they are being truthful. I can say that I’m bonded, but unless I provide the documentation and you can verify it, I’m not actually bonded. |
