EXTERIOR PAINTING PROCEDURES
Basic Preparation
Drop cloths will be laid to catch chips and debris.
Bushes and flowers are protected.

Allowances for minor carpentry to be performed on wood railings, porches, steps, soffit and facia.
All bare wood will be primed (unless instances where solid color stains will be used like on porch rails, etc. For it is better not to prime in this instance, so paint breaks down and chalks, rather than checks or peels.)
