RESTORATION
At Peacock Painting we "Pride" ourselves on
superior restoration work. The preparation is the "main
ingredient" of a superior paint job and this is what
separates us from others. We understand how the attention
to detail makes or breaks a job from a "good"
paint job to a "terrific" paint job.
POWERWASHING & SHINGLE
RESTORATION
We use a combination of bleach,
water and "Jomax" â to clean your outside
surfaces prior to any sanding and scraping. Bleach is however
the only chemical that will kill mold & mildew. The
climate here on the Cape promotes these fungi due to the
damp Springs
we endure along with the shrubbery and other various vegetation
that people have around their homes. Combine that with sprinkler
systems constantly on and the growth of these funguses are
sure to flourish.
We apply an environmentally
safe mixture on the surfaces then use straight water to
rinse off. This is generally enough.
At times we use a high-pressure system to strip shingles
of mildew damage. This takes more time as we actually remove
a layer of wood pulp from the outer surface. We only do
this procedure when we are going to re-stain the house with
a semi-transparent oil base (usually) Gray tone stain. This
seems to be the look of choice on Cape Cod.
