Whether
your home is hardcoat stucco, EIFS, or siding painting the exterior
with a high quality paint is essential. Choosing the right paint
for each surface makes a huge difference on the exterior and interior
of your home. Atlanta Contracting Services, Inc. uses the highest
quality paints and sealants available for all of our projects.
Atlanta
Contracting Services, Inc. uses
Porter Paints brand paint for our exterior painting. Hardcoat
stucco or EIFS homes should be painted with an elastomeric coating,
while wood or vinyl siding should be painted with an acrylic
paint. Our company uses Porter Flex 6000 elastomeric coating
exclusively on all
of
our stucco homes. This paint is applied 10 mils thick where
regular paint is applied at 2 mils thick. Cracks can occur in stucco
due to changes in temperature. A small stucco crack visible in the
summer can expand during cooler months. Porter Flex 6000 has
elasticity properties which will bridge
these cracks. This product comes in a variety of colors and will
provide permanent protection to your home for years to come.
Exterior siding and trim on your home should be painted with an acrylic paint. We use Porter Paints Acri-Shield 619 or Permanizer
acrylic coatings. Acri-Shield 619 is available in flat, satin and
gloss finishes; Permanizer is available in satin and gloss
finishes. We recommend satin finish for all siding and gloss
finish for all trim. These products are both weather, fade and
mildew resistant. The Permanizer paint is Porter Paints top of
the line product and slightly higher in cost, but Porter Paints is so
confident in this product that it is backed with a lifetime warranty
against cracking, peeling or flaking. Both of these quality
products provide a coverage which will last many years.
