Prep Now Or Pay Later

The importance of proper prep work prior to painting cannot be over emphasized. CRSI firmly believes the key to all painting and staining project begins with extensive preparation.

In advance of any painting/staining, all surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned. Scraping, Glazing, Spackling, Sanding and Oil Priming are a must for maximum protection of surfaces. In addition any compromised or rotten wood should be properly and professionally replaced.

This in turn adds to the cost of a Painting Project, but painting without proper prep and wood restoration work can only lead to substandard results, which in the long run, ends up costing more.

Atlanta Painters Affected by the Winter Storm

There is no doubt that Atlanta Painters were affected greatly by this highly unusual winter storm in Atlanta and the Southeast. Just because most other businesses were affected as well cannot serve as a consolation. Can you believe this is Atlanta, GA?

Snowstorm Gives Atlanta Painters a BreakAlmost the whole workweek Metro Atlanta (and beyond) was pretty much shut down by 6 inches of snow which turned into ice on every road. As one can imagine, the South is not equipped for this type of weather in more ways than one – 10 snow plows cannot manage thousands of miles of roads here.

So what are we to do since no one is powerful enough to argue with the mother-nature? Well, we caught up on all the paperwork, made some phone calls to potential customers, and rested with the intent to get back to work full steam as soon as the roads and the weather allow.

Chimney Problems Show When Painting Your House

Almost everyone has a chimney in their house. Some folks might have two or even more. If that part of a house has siding, quite often it becomes a problem area when doing your home improvement.

As a long time Atlanta painters, we know this first hand. Very often when we are hired to paint a house exterior, the first thing we do is to carefully inspect the chimney area. But even with the outside inspection some problems show only when we get inside that siding.

We want homeowners to be aware about this potential problem area and inspect it regularly. Or just call us when you are ready for a new coat on the house. Also, if the damage is significant, it might warrant contacting your home insurance company for a possible reimbursement. Make sure you take a few good photos – with the overview as well as close-ups.

Stay warm,
