Consider the following facts, and decide for yourself how you want the paint applied to your home:

Spraying vs. Hand Painting

• Life of paint job

  Spraying (Average): 3-6 Years Hand Painting (Average): 8-11 years

• Thickness of coat

  Spraying (Average): 1.12 mils Hand Painting (Average): 2.04 mils This extra paint takes longer to wear away, and is more effective in protecting your home from the damaging elements.

• Adhesion

  Spraying applies a smooth even coat of paint to the surface.  Because wood is porous, however, paint must be pushed into the pores of the wood to get proper adhesion.  Brushing allows the paint to get proper "bite", keeping it from peeling away later.

• Application to grooves and joints

  Grooves, joints, and areas of overlap on your home need an extra thick coat of paint to protect against moisture.  Exterior moisture can enter through these areas and collect in your wood siding.  Moisture causes the wood to swell an excessive amount, which leads to grain cracking and poor paint adhesion.  Coupled with proper amounts of caulking, brushing these areas applies sufficient paint to keep moisture out.
