How To Waterproof CMU

Ah yes, the joys of water intrusion.  Since we have been having tons of rain, I thought that it may be relevant and helpful to include some articles on how to deal with water.

When I say CMU, or concrete masonry unit, I refer to block, EIFS, or stucco.  Most stucco buildings around Atlanta are not real stucco.  They are a synthetic stucco system like Dryvit or EIFS.  These systems are a series of drywall or foam-like panels that have a stucco compound sprayed or troweled over them.  Over time, these systems develop hair-line cracks that allow water intrusion.  As water continues to find its way into the building, it gets behind the paint and causes the paint to peel.  You can see evidence of this when you see the paint on the sides of stucco homes bubbling and blistering.  Once the paint has bubbled, you have lost adhesion, and it is only a mater of time before the paint peels off.

The first thing that you have is find the source of the water.  If the water intrusion is from the roof, windows, gutters, etc, you need to fix the leaks before repainting.  This article is written for the purposes of the water coming from hair-line cracks.

Here is how to waterproof CMU.

  1. For large gaps, you must seal them using a urethane sealant.  Don’t be cheap with this.  Be thorough in sealing all of the large gaps.  Follow the manufacturer’s specifications.  Urethanes usually need 4-5 days of cure time before they can be coated.
  2. Now you need a coating that is made for waterproofing.  Sherwin-Williams and DOW manufacture high quality waterproofing coatings.  In order to get these manufacturer’s warranties, the coatings must be applied by a professional.  Since this eliminates my DIY readers, I am going to describe how this process is done, so that you know what painters in Atlanta should be doing.  Waterproofing coatings should be applied using a spray and back roll technique.  This ensures two things.  One, the film thickness is adequate and, two, that the coating get pressed into the substrate.
  3. You need to apply two coats of the waterproofer using the spray and back roll method.
  4. After you finish the second coat, there are two things that the manufacturer’s check before granting a waterproofing warranty.  The first is mil thickness.  Most coatings must be applied at 30-40 wets mils.  The second factor is pinholes.  For proper waterproofing, there must be fewer than 10 pinholes per square foot.  This is a tedious, but necessary, process.  If you see that there are more than 10 pinholes/square foot or the coating is not thick enough, you need to spray another coating.

While waterproofing is a long and expensive process, it is absolutely necessary to prevent serious water damage.  If you need a professional to apply a waterproofing coating, call GreenWave Solutions.  Call us if you need painters in Atlanta, Window replacement in Atlanta, roofers in Atlanta, Atlanta Solar and more!

Band-Aid Fixing of Bad LP Siding

Thousands of Atlanta homes that are more than 5 years old have a problem.  They were  built using faulty siding.  As many people know, a class-action judgment was awarded to homeowners who have LP Siding on the exterior of their homes.  However, as the case with many class-action lawsuits, no one ever receives the awarded monies.

The problem is that water will penetrate the siding boards and begin to rot them.  The first sign of water damage is the bottoms of the boards be to open up and separate.  This is known as delamination.  Eventually, this damage will spread through the boards, causing the boards to warp and rot completely.

The only way to remedy this problem is by replacing all of the siding.  This is an expensive process;  approximately $450.00/square.  In other words, $4.50/square foot.  For the average home, this process costs around $10,000.00.

After a TON of research and a lot of field testing, I have found a quick fix for bad LP Siding.  Here is my disclaimer:  This process will not reverse existing damage.  Nor, is it an acceptable substitute for siding replacement.  This solution which I have developed can slow down the deterioration of the siding and postpone the dreaded cost of siding replacement.

When you see the first signs water damage on the siding, you will see the bottoms of the boards opening and peeling.  The paint will be peeling as well.  But it is not actually the paint which is peeling.  Atlanta Painting Pro Tip:  Here is a simple test to see if your siding is bad:  Pull off a piece of the peeling paint.  If the backside of the piece you took is brown and has a wood-like or cardboard-like substance on it, your siding is bad.  That brown underside is actually a layer of the siding that had come off.  I want to emphasize that this is not a paint failure, as the paint is still adhered to the siding.  This is a siding failure because the siding is what is coming off with the paint on top of it.

The first time that we tried to fix this problem, we took a simple approach.  We scrape the areas that are peeling, spot prime, and repaint.  This worked…for about a week.  The customer called us back and said that new areas, that originally had no problems, were peeling.  The places that we scraped and repainted were, though.  I was baffled.  This is when I started researching and analyzing the problem.  What I deduced was that the areas that were originally not peeling still had problems, but were not showing them.  When we put a new coat of paint on them, the weight and moisture from the coating, pulled the layer of siding down and caused the delamination to occur.

Now I was left with a new problem.  I didn’t want to go fix the new peeling, only to have more peeling in another week.  I had to find a way to stop the delamination.

I found a product manufactured by XIM called PeelBond.  This is a high solids, acrylic coating, designed to bond loose surfaces.  It looks and smells a lot like children’s Elmer’s glue.  Here is the process that I have been using to fix the problems described above on a budget.

  1. You must replace the boards that are too far gone to fix.  If you can poke holes in the siding with a pen, you need to replace that board.  Also, if too much of the board is coming apart, you need to replace the board.  The worst areas are usually around the chimney.
  2. Now, you need to scrape all of the areas were the paint is peeling from the bottom of the boards.
  3. Use the Peel Bond to coat the bottoms of all the board that are fat and look like they are puffed up.  The Peel Bond goes on white, but dries clear.  You can apply it with a brush or a sprayer, so long as you have completely covered the problem areas with the proper mil thickness.
  4. Let the Peel Bond dry to the manufacturer’s specifications.  Take temperature and humidity into account.
  5. Now repaint all of the siding using a good acrylic coating.

While this process is more expensive than painting, it is much cheaper than re-siding the house.  Again, this is not fool proof and should not be viewed as a substitute for replacing the siding.  This is a method that I use to help my customers get a few more years out of their defective siding.

How to Remove Popcorn Ceilings

A very common job that we are contracted to do to is to smooth popcorn ceilings.  This is extremely common in condos and production homes.  Smoothing popcorn ceilings is not difficult, however, it is very labor intensive and messy.  If you are brave enough to do it, here’s how:

Here is what you are going to need:

  • Lot’s of plastic sheeting
  • tape
  • scrapers
  • spray bottles
  • drywall compound
  • sanding poles, sand paper, sanding sponges
  • large drywall knife for spreading compounds
  • acrylic primer
  • very flat acrylic paint
  • step ladders
  • eye protection
  • dust masks
  • rags

Now that you have everything that you need, let’s get started.

  1. Move all furniture away from the walls and cover EVERYTHING with plastic.  Tape the plastic to the baseboards and make sure that you don’t have any places where dust can get through.  Anything that you don’t cover with plastic is going to get dirty.
  2. Get your scrapers and spray bottles filled with warm water.  Don’t use the water unless you have to.  Sometimes the popcorn will come of by simply scraping it.  Make sure you are wearing dust mask and eye protection or else you are going to have a bad day.  If the popcorn texture comes off with the scraper you are in luck.  If it needs some coaxing, lightly spray it with warm water.  Atlanta Painting Pro Tip: Don’t saturate the drywall with water because you may gouge out pieces of wall and paper, which will make the next step more difficult.  Once you have the big stuff off, you can use a pole sander if necessary to remove the rest of the popcorn.
  3. Now you need to repair any damage and rough areas in the ceiling.  Use the drywall compound and a long knife to apply drywall compound on the ceiling.  After the drywall compound is dry, use you pole sander to sand the ceiling again.  Atlanta Painting Pro Tip: You can use a hair dryer to speed up the drywall compound’s drying process.  Don’t get the heat too close or the compound may crack.  After you have sanded the ceilings, wipe the dust off with a damp rag.  Repeat this step to rough areas of drywall until you ceilings are smooth.  Make sure you wipe the dust off before proceeding to the next step.
  4. The hard part is finished, you’re almost done!  Now, it’s time to prime.  Prime the repaired ceiling using an acrylic primer/sealer.  Most paint manufacturers make a “drywall primer.”  You don’t have to use an expensive primer for this type of priming.
  5. After the primer has dried, you can paint your nice smooth ceiling.  Atlanta Painting Pro Tip:  Use cheap, flat, paint.  the less expensive, “new construction”, grade paints are perfect for this because they are sooo flat.  Duron’s Builder’s Masterpiece has virtually no angular sheen.  This will help to hide any imperfections in the ceiling.
  6. Slowly and carefully, pick up all of you plastic.  I know that you are excited that you are finished, but if  you do this step too fast, you may make a big dusty mess.  Use common sense.

Well, this is how the pros smooth popcorn textured ceilings.  If you are bold, give it a try.  If not, GreenWave Solutions is here to do these kinds of jobs with no hassles or headaches.  Call us for an estimate at 678-491-2963.

How to Paint Over Water Stains

With all of the rain that we have had in Atlanta this year, thousands of buildings have water stains that have come through roofs and ceilings.  I want to give my readers tips on how to fix the stains…for good.

The first, and MOST IMPORTANT, step to fixing water stains is to fix the leaks!  This is imperative.  If you have not fixed the leaks, then stop reading now.  The stains will return during the next water intrusion.

Now that you have fixed the leaks, we can fix the water stains.  Here’s how you do it.

1.  Repair or replace the drywall; reapply drywall tape, joint compound, and sand everything smooth.  If the drywall is warped or is crumbling, I recommend replacing the drywall.  If you try to prime and paint bad drywall, it isn’t going to look good.

2.  Choose a good stain blocking primer.  Many waterborne primers say that they seal water stains, but my experience proves that they fail quite often.  Alkyd primers are better, but I prefer a shellac-based primer.  We have great success using Duron’s Terminator 3 or Zinsser’s BIN primers.  Both of these products come in regular and aerosol cans.  Atlanta Painting Pro tip:  These products are very thin and will run if you put too much on.  Put light coats.  If you get any runs, wait for the coating to dry and sand out the runs.

3.  After you have repaired the drywall, the hard part is done.  It’s time to prime.  Prime the areas according to the manufacturer’s specifications on the can.  If the stain is really bad, you can put 2 coats.  These primers dry very quickly so a second coat can be applied in less than an hour.

4.  Repaint the area.  I wouldn’t count on being able to touch up these repairs, so be prepared to repaint the wall or ceiling corner-to-corner.

I hope that this has helped.  GreenWave Solutions is the best painting contractors in Atlanta.  Call us for a free estimate.  We offer painters in Alpharetta, painters in Sandy Springs, Painters in Atlanta, and more!  We also have energy star roofing in Atlanta, radiant heat barriers, and window contractors in Atlanta.

How To Use Macropoxy 646

This article is relevant to me right now because we are using Sherwin-Williams’ Macropoxy 646 on a metal fountain in a condo community.  I still need to apply another coat of the Macropoxy before we finish, however, I can’t get decent weather long enough to apply the final coat.  After one coat, the fountain looks awesome.

This condition of this fountain was quite bad.  It was approximately 80% covered with surface rust and badly pitted.  It had not been cleaned since 2001 and the inner bowls were covered in algae.  It took be about a dozen phone calls and two days to figure out if we even wanted to take this job.  Once I decided that I was going to do the job, figuring out what to put on it was another challenge.

Our Atlanta painters are good, but in a situation like this, you need to do extensive surface preparation and you MUST use the right coatings.  We are dealing with previously coated ferrous metal, covered in rust, that will be used for immersion service.  Alone, each one of these variables requires attention, but together they create a “perfect storm” of potential coating failures.

Here is a rundown of the variables that must be addressed:

  1. Ferrous metal - They are always prone to rust.
  2. Previously coated with unknown coating - Can create compatibility and adhesion problems, limiting the coatings that can be used.
  3. Badly rusted - You cannot paint or prime on top of unprepared rust because if the rust isn’t stopped, it will grow underneath the topcoat causing it to lift and fail.
  4. Immersion service - Very few coatings can be used underwater.  Combining this with the fact that the substrate is metal and already rusting further limits the coating which can be used.

The 100% correct way to handle this is to disassemble the fountain, have it sand blasted to sspc-sp10 white metal blasting preparation, and then recoat it.  This process is more expensive than replacing the fountain.  I explained this to my customer and came up a much more cost effective solution.

Here is what I did:

  1. I got a 3500 psi pressure washer with a rotating tip and pressure washed the entire fountain.  This removed the algae, loose rust, and loose paint.  I let the fountain dry completely.
  2. I then applied a coat of Ospho.  Ospho is a phosphoric acid based rust reformer.  This product converts the rust from iron oxide to iron phosphate, an inert substance.  When using this product, good ventilation is necessary as hydrogen gas is released during the chemical reaction.  I let the Ospho dry for 24 hours and then applied a second coat of it.
  3. Now it is time for the Macropoxy 646.  Macropoxy is a 2-component poly-amide epoxy coating.  This coating is not user friendly and should not be used by someone who isn’t experienced with industrial coatings.  Atlanta Painting Pro Hint: Wear gloves and eye protection.  If using this product indoors, a respirator is a must.  This stuff is hard-core.  You must read your data sheets and follow ALL manufacturer instructions when using this product.
  • First shake part A and part B.  Then mix equal parts of A and B into a 3rd container (1:1 ratio).  Mix this for about 5 minutes with a mechanical mixer.  Now you MUST wait 30 minutes for the product to sweat.  After 30 minutes, stir the macropoxy and get to work.  You have 4 hours pot life at 77 degrees F with this product.  A pot life is how long the epoxy is workable, after the pot life is over the product solidifies and is finished.  Clean your brush and tools using reducer 15.

Again, I must emphasize that this product is extremely aggressive and should not be used by DIYs.

GOOD LUCK!

How to Fix Peeling and Cracking Paint

Throughout Atlanta, GreenWave Solutions paints many old homes that have peeling and cracking paint.  For the purposes of this article, peeling and cracking are different.  Usually, peeling is caused by paint being applied either incorrectly or on an incorrectly prepared substrate.  We are not address this situation today.

We are going to discuss paint that is cracking due to age and multiple coats of paint.  I am referring to the houses around Inman park and Decatur that were built in the 1950’s.  The paint is alligatoring and when you look at the chips, you can literally count all of the layers of paint.

When painting Atlanta homes in this condition, two problems arise:

1) Stopping the cracking from continuing after you have finished painting.

2) Getting the siding of the home to look smooth despite the differences in thickness.

Here is how GreenWave Solutions’ Atlanta Painters fix these problems and restore these homes to like new condition.

1) We put drop cloths on the ground in order to keep the paint chips from polluting the ground, water, lawn etc.

2) We pressure wash the house to knock off the loosest materials.

3) We get the entire crew on the house with scrapers and we scrape the entire exterior of the home.   Atlanta Painting Pro Tip - The best way to fix cracking paint is to scrape off as much as possible.  If you paint on top of bad paint, all the paint will come off.

4) Now it’s time to prime.  We use XIM PeelBond.  This product is amazing.  It is a flexible, breathable product that is around 40% solid content.  It can also be applied to about 20 mils without sagging and has superior adhesion.  What this means is that this product can be applied very heavily and will level out well.  We spray to medium coats on the uneven areas with this product.  This does 2 things.  The first is it seals all of the peeling paint and prevents future peeling.  The second is that is minimizes the uneven appearance of where the paint has been scraped off, leaving a very smooth, even, and well-prepared substrate.

5) Now we spray on a coat of premium acrylic paint.  The PeelBond is a universal primer.  This means that it can be topcoated with any paint.

This is how GreenWave Solutions’ Atlanta Painters do it!  We are the best at house painting in Roswell GA

Paint a Bathroom

Bathrooms are some of the more fun places to paint.  They are small and you can usually get creative with colors because of this.  However, the biggest factor that you must account for when painting your bathroom is water.

Bathrooms are exposed to lots of water, steam, and traffic.  For this, you must take care when selecting bathroom paint.  Since GreenWave Solutions has the best Atlanta painters, we use the best paint.  Our professional choice is Sherwin-Williams’ Duration Home Matte Finish.  This product is washable, scrubable, and water and mildew resistant.  The resins in Duration are very resistant to peeling when exposed to shower steam or water splashing from the sinks.  After you have selected your paint and color, here is what you need to paint your bathroom like our Atlanta Painting pros:

-          Brushes and rollers

-          Roller trays

-          Drop cloths

-          Drywall repair product and knife

-          Tape

-          Tools to remove the back of the toilet

-          Alkyd based aerosol primer (maybe)

-          Caulk (maybe)

Here we go:

1)      Repair any drywall damage (gouges, scratches, etc) and caulk everything (if necessary).

2)      After drywall compound has dried, sand repairs smooth and prime with oil primer.  During this step, prime and water stains that are around using the same primer.

3)      Remove switch plates and outlet covers, tape around towel racks, light fixtures, ceilings and anything else you don’t want to get paint on (unless you are good enough to cut a line without tape).

4)      Start painting.  I like to do the trim first (see #5) and then the walls.  Use your brush to cut and roll the big areas.  If you want to, you can remove the back of the toilet so that you can paint the whole area.  However, using a brush, you can paint behind it enough so that it looks completely painted.  I don’t like removing the back of the commode because it sucks and isn’t really necessary.

5)      Atlanta painting pro tip:  If you are not using tape, paint the trim first.  This way, it doesn’t matter if you get paint on the wall because it is easier to cut a straight line on the wall than on the trim.

6)      Let the paint dry for 30 minutes or so, remove the tape, and do a walk through.  Walk through refers to checking for missed spots, holidays, etc.

7)      Clean up and get some beer to reward yourself!

How To Choose a Reputable Atlanta Painting Contractor

Choosing an Atlanta Painter can be a daunting and frustrating chore.  With the high volume of Atlanta painting companies, all claiming to be the best, how do select a reputable one?

Before I started GreenWave Solutions, I worked as an independent contractor for several of Atlanta’s larger paint contracting companies.  I will not name these companies because disparaging your competition is not a positive way to do business.  While I worked with these Atlanta paint contractors, I witnessed practices that weren’t just bad business practices, but completely unethical.

One company, which had been in business for fewer than 2 years, would train its estimators to tell perspective clients they had been in business for 7.  I wasn’t sure if there is any way to verify how long a company was in business, but either way it is wrong.

Several large paint contractors in Atlanta offer a 5-year warranty.  None of these companies have been it business for five years, however.  The warranty was seemed wide open and to good to be true.  I asked one of the owners what was going to happen in 4 years when warranty work became relevant, how he was going to service all of the warranty work.  His response was, “You don’t.  You close down the business and open up another company with a different name.”  I was stunned.  I didn’t work with either of these companies much longer after this.

Another contractor that I worked with was a master of deception.  He spends outrageous amounts of money every month for search engine optimization(SEO).  SEO is getting your website to appear as high as possible on Google, Yahoo, etc.  He spends more money a month on SEO than he does on paint.  He has no knowledge of paint and simply collects leads from his internet marketing campaign.  I have to compliment his SEO because he is consistantly the 1st or 2nd result 0n all “Atlanta, Alpharetta, Roswell painter or painting” keyword searches.  This company doesn’t even carry insurance for his company.   He requires his subs or estimators to carry general liability for themselves.  When customers ask for Workers’ Comp, he has some rhetoric about how workers’ comp is not really important for residential work.  I worked with him for nearly two months and I don’t think he saw one job that his company completed.

Other painters do things like tell the customer that they are getting Duration ($40/gallon) and really use A-100 ($16/gallon).

Here are a few steps you can take to protect yourself from “shady” paint contractors:

1.  Get a copy of their insurance certificate.  They should have General Liability and Workers’ Comp.  Call and make sure that the policies are real and up to date.  Many guys forge these documents.

2.  Don’t assume that positive reviews and testimonials are real.  If you use Kudzu.com or read Google reviews, read several reviews and look to see if there is very similar verbage in many reviews.  If you hire a search SEO company to help your website rank in the search engines, they actually will go to Google, Kudzu, Yahoo, etc. and write fake reviews about how great a contractor is.  Look at the reviewer and how many reviews they have written.  Most of them have 1 review only for that company.

3.  Ask specifically what coatings are going to be used on your project.  If you are unsure that they are using the products they say, ask to see invoices from the paint store.

4.  Don’t be shy to ask for references.  Remember that references can be faked.

5.  Ask the contractor how/where they were trained on paint coatings and the application of these coatings.

6.  Trust your instints.  If you have an uneasy feeling about any part of the estimating process, listen to your gut and get another estimate.

7.  Call GreenWave Solutions.  We are proud of our crews, estimators, and work.  We are honest, hard working, and strive to provide Atlanta with a “white-collar” painting contractor.

Paint your Kitchen

One of the rooms in your house in which you spend the most time is your kitchen.  Kitchens are also the room that people want to upgrade most often.  But installing granite countertops, tile back splashes, or new cabinets can be very expensive.  One of the easiest, least expensive ways to freshen you kitchen is to repaint it.  Painting a kitchen isn’t much different than painting other rooms with a few extra details.

  1. The kitchen usually gets a lot of traffic which results in more scuffs on the walls.
  2. Kitchens are exposed to water, steam, food, grease, etc.
  3. Older kitchens are usually wallpapered (Atlanta Wallpaper Removal).
  4. Many kitchens have paneled walls or chair rails.
  5. Kitchens usually have a lot of detailed work and cramped areas.

The first factor which you need to address when painting you kitchen in choosing the kind of paint to use.  As an Atlanta paint contractor, GreenWave Solutions has experience using all kinds of paints.  Because of my experience as a Sherwin-Williams sales representative, I am most familiar with SW coatings.  Sherwin Williams’ coating are among the best manufactured.

Because kitchens are usually high traffic areas, I suggest using a highly durable coating.  My choice is SW Duration Home Matte.  Duration Home is one of the best performing interior paints available.  Its only limitation is that it is not available in a “dead” flat.  Duration Home comes in a matte finish, which has a small angular sheen.  In some situations, this sheen can lead to touch up problems and flashing.  Here is what you need to paint your kitchen like pro painters in Atlanta:

  • High quality interior acrylic enamel
  • Drop cloths to protect floors
  • Tape to protect cabinets, ceilings, etc.
  • Brushes and rollers
  • roller trays
  • roller frames
  • A positive attitude
  • Patience

Now that you have everything you need it is time to paint.  For full instructions on how to paint go to our “How To Paint” Article

How to paint.

What a wide open question.  It is hard to answer because the first response is, “paint what?”  For the purposes of this article, I am going to explain how to paint a wall that is properly prepared.

This “How To” assumes that the wall is properly prepared and ready to paint.  If you paint on an unprepared or improperly prepared substrate, the final product is going to be bad.  To learn how about proper wall preparation go to Atlanta Painting Wall Preparation.

Here are the tools that you need to paint a wall:

  • High quality acrylic coating
  • Paint trays
  • Tape
  • High quality paint brushes
  • High quality rollers
  • Drop cloths

Atlanta Painting Pro Hint - When choosing a paint sheen, you should consider these factors.  The lower the sheen, the better the touch up, but the lower the durability.  Higher sheens are more durable, but will show wall imperfections, brush marks and lap marks.  I like SW Duration Home Matte.  It has minimal sheen with unparalleled durability.

Here is how to paint:

  1. Cover floors, furinture, counters, etc. with drop clothes.
  2. Tape around trim, light fixtures, ceilings, cabinets, and anything else you don’t want to get paint on.  Tape also helps to make your lines straighter.  Remember, your paint lines will only be as straight as your tape lines.  They make tools that help you lay the tape smooth and straight.
  3. Get ready to either brush or roll.   Atlanta Painting Pro Hint - Before you use a roller cover, wrap the fuzzy part with your painters tape.  When you pull the tape off, you will remove a lot of loose fuzz.  This would have ended up on you wall.
  4. Paint.  When you roll, you should be rolling in an “N” pattern.  Spread the paint over itself in long, even strokes.  Make sure that you have plenty of paint on your roller.  A common mistake is to paint with a “dry” roller.  If you hear your rollers making a sticky, popping sound, it probably needs paint.  If you are painting with a dry roller, you are pulling paint off the wall and ultimately comprising the smoothness of your finish.
  5. Paint.  After you have rolled an area, cut in the trim with a good paint brush.  Atlanta Painting Pro Hint - To avoid the common problem known as “picture framing”, always paint into a wet edge.  This is especially important if you are using any coating with a sheen (satin, egg shell, semi-gloss).
  6. Let the paint dry and admire you handy work

This is a very simple explanation of “How to paint.”  Each and every scenario is different.  To make sure that you get a good Atlanta Painting job.  Call GreenWave Solutions for a free estimate.
