Rudolph Residence in Cranston, RI
CRANSTON, RI
Rudolph Residence
Sometimes, in homes built after 1978 (after the elimination of lead paint from the marketplace), there are paint coatings that do some pretty funky things. Because these homes do not have lead paint on them, we are able to utilize a process called glass blasting to strip the home of its coatings structure, liberally open up the pores of the wood beneath the previously existing paint coatings, and allow the new paint system the best chance at long time success. The Rudolph Residence in Cranston, RI falls right into this category. The exterior of this home, built in 1983, was just not able to hold any additional coatings on its surfaces for any substantial length of time. We glassblasted the siding and trim surfaces and then completely washed the exterior.
After allowing time for drying, we repaired & replaced all of the rotted wood that became exposed after the media blasting process. For the red cedar clapboard on the front of the home, we primed it all with a slow-drying, tannin-bleed blocking oil primer, lightly sanded its surfaces after the primer was dry, and applied two coats of a solid stain finish. For the white cedar shingle siding on the rear three sides of the home, we applied one coat of solid stain, lightly sanded all surfaces, and then applied a 2nd coat of stain. For the trim on the home, we made sure it was all appropriately prepped & primed and then after a light sand, we properly applied a premium finish coat system. After this was all done, we took care of all accent work, hung new shutters, and presented the completed project to the Rudolph family for them to enjoy and have extraordinary ‘Peace of Mind’ with regard to its lasting maintenance.
