The Best Choice in Painting or Coating your Garage Floor

When is the last time you seen a clean and pretty garage floor without an epoxy coating? Probably never, right? Garage Floors get easily dirty from dirt, oil drips, and your car tires.

The only way to have a nice looking garage floor is to have it coated with epoxy or a xylene product. However the DIY kits you can easily buy at home depot are not always the best choice for your garage floor. These are not considered pro-grade products. Not to mention they can not help determine your floors permeability. Professional painters know that epoxy coating are not permeable. This means that they often will not allow water/ water vapor pass through. When your home was built, if the contractor did not put a vapor barrier then this will lead to a peeling garage floor. Hiring a professional painter to purchase quality products and to apply the correct application techniques will save you time and money! Painting Artist, Inc can provide you an inspection of your garage floor to help determine what coating is best. Call our office today 772-626-7159.

What is the Black Stuff on my Roof? Cleaning Vero Beach Moldy Roofs

As a professional licensed painting & Pressure Washing Contractor in Florida, we get daily calls about black stuff on homes and roofs that they want either painted over (ha!) or pressure washed. Well sorry to break it to you homeowners but neither of those services work unless a treatment that consists of a chlorine mixture that actually Kills the algae or mold itself to remove it and keep it coming back for years. This is a chemical treatment which is very important. Killing the algae can help the overall health of the people living inside that house.

Let us explain:

That black algae growing on your roof or home is called Gloeocapsa magma. According to Wikipedia.com "Gloeocapsa magma is a species of cyanobacteria. Cyanobacteria are an ancient line of photosynthesizing bacteria, which photolyze water generating oxygen gas. Ancient cyanobacteria were ancestral to the chloroplasts of all plants on earth. Wikipedia"

Office personnel many times complain about headaches, stuffiness, and sickness each day when present at work. The EPA calls this the "sick building syndrome" What is going on is that algae is affecting the people inside. Killing it prevents these symptoms. Same goes for a residential home.

Not to mention that by not removing this black algae on your home's roof, it can shorten your roof's life by up to 7 years!

Let's stay Healthy and remove that black algae today. Call our offices for further information, 772-626-7159.

Why is my Vero Beach House Chalky When I touch the Exterior Paint?

Why is my House Chalking?

If you're noticing that when you touch or rub the paint on the exterior of your home it leaves a chalky residue then your home is considered "Chalky". When your house paint is chalking it is a sure sign of oxidizing of the paint. Oxidizing is when the paint begins to break down.

Painting Artist, Inc can easily remove this chalking by a thorough pressure washing service. Once the house has been pressure washed to remove the chalky layers, we highly recommend applying a new coat of paint to the home's exterior. Having a fresh new paint coat will not leave chalky hands after touching it.

Having the old paint removed and new quality paint applied will in the long run save your home before things become more costly.

Contact our office today for an immediate and free estimate to pressure wash or paint your home, 772-626-7159.

How to Paint over Smoke Damaged Areas - Properly Prepare and Paint walls with smoke damage from Cigarettes (Nicotine), Fire, Smoke and More

Painting over Smoke Damaged Areas - How to Properly Prepare and Paint walls with smoke damage from Cigarettes, Fire, Candles and More

Smoke, Soot, and Cigarette Smoke damage -
Attempting to paint over the walls affected by one of these types of smoke can be the hardest challenge you may come across when trying to paint. Smoke damage and staining can be caused from a number of things: Candles, Fireplace smoke, small fires, cigarette smoke / nicotine staining. They are all considered equal when painting over them. 

Painting over the problem may seem like the best solution to eliminate it but it's quite the opposite. Removing the smell and staining prior to painting is crucial. Otherwise painting may be extremely difficult. You may not be able to cover the stains and the smell will be as strong as ever. 

Painting Artist, Inc properly takes the correct steps in eliminating the damaged area to ensure a nice clean painted area in the end. 

  1. First it is imperative to clean the mess with a chemical cleaning sponge and then the use of a strong cleaner. 
  2. Then we will prime the area. Depending on the degree of damage or smell from the nicotine, we will utilize the correct primer. Not just any primer will do. Otherwise the smell will surely bleed through.
  3. Once the smell and damage is blocked properly, we are ready to apply the highest quality of paint. 
If your home has smoke damage or an unpleasant smell on your walls from nicotine smoke, contact Painting Artist, Inc today to have it eliminated.
