Why Spray Painting Is Bad For Your Home

Revitalize Your Home with a Fresh Paint Job

Getting your home repainted is one of the best ways to refresh and revitalize your space. Not only does a new coat of paint make your home look newer and more inviting, but it can also increase its value. However, when considering a paint job, one critical decision you’ll need to make is whether your home will be hand-painted or spray-painted. At Cline Quality Painting, we exclusively use hand painting because spray painting can lead to long-term damage and lower quality results.The Effects of Poor Painting on Your Home

What Spray Painting Does to Your Home

Spray painting has gained popularity in recent years due to its speed and lower cost compared to traditional hand brushing. However, this approach often sacrifices quality for efficiency, leading to no proper quality control. With spray painting, contractors have significantly less control over the application, resulting in uneven layers and insufficient coverage.

Because spray paint layers are very thin, they leave your home vulnerable over time. As the paint wears down, patches of the previous color may begin to show through. In contrast, hand painting provides full, even coverage, ensuring a cleaner and more polished look. Additionally, spray-painted homes are more susceptible to the harsh weather conditions we experience here in Colorado, leading to quicker deterioration.

Spray Painting is Bad for Your Wallet

Spray painting might seem like a cost-effective option for small projects, but it does not offer the same durability as hand painting. On average, a home with spray-on paint will need repainting every 4-5 years, whereas a hand-painted home can maintain its appearance for 8-12 years.

At Cline Quality Painting, we prioritize long-term value over short-term savings. By choosing hand painting, you not only get a superior finish but also avoid frequent and costly repainting.

How We Protect and Beautify Your Home

We take great care in ensuring that every project we complete meets the highest quality standards. Below are the key steps we follow to deliver outstanding results.

Superior Preparation Methods

Proper preparation is the foundation of a long-lasting paint job. Our team follows a meticulous preparation process, which includes:

Scraping and hand-sanding loose paint and rough surfaces.
Re-caulking areas where caulking has failed using commercial-grade sealants.
Securing loose boards and protruding nails.
Priming exposed and bare wood with top-tier commercial-grade primers.

Every step is performed with precision and by hand to ensure the highest quality foundation for your paint job.

Superior Application Methods

Unlike high-speed spray techniques, all of our work is hand-brushed and rolled. This method forces the paint into the pores and surfaces of your home’s siding, resulting in a thicker, more durable coat. Hand-brushed and rolled applications surpass industry standards in coverage, longevity, and durability.

Homeowners prefer this method 3 to 1 over spray painting because it ensures a proper seal and a more consistent finish.

Superior Materials

We use only premium-quality paint, and we highly recommend KWAL Ambassador Series 100% Acrylic Paint. This high-grade product is specifically designed to withstand Colorado’s high altitude, dry climate, and intense UV exposure. The 100% acrylic formula allows for expansion and contraction, preventing cracks and wear caused by extreme weather conditions. Additionally, its satin finish reflects UV rays, preserving the vibrancy of your paint job for years to come.
