AFR Paints LLC specializes in older residential homes typically we focuses on restoring and preserving the original features and character of older homes through their painting work. 

As a team of professionals who specialize in exterior painting, we understand the importance of properly preparing the surface before applying any paint. In fact, we believe that the preparation process is just as important as the painting itself.

When it comes to restoring a 1950s home, we know that the surface may require some extra attention before it's ready for painting. That's why we always begin by thoroughly cleaning the surface to remove any dirt, grime, or debris. We then inspect the surface for any cracks, peeling paint, or other damage that may need to be repaired.

Once we have identified any areas that require repair, we begin the process of sanding, scraping, and filling to ensure that the surface is smooth and even. We also take care to remove any loose or peeling paint, as this can affect the adhesion of the new paint.

After the surface has been properly prepared, we apply a primer to ensure that the new paint adheres properly and lasts for years to come. We then carefully apply the topcoat, making sure that it is even and consistent across the entire surface.

At the end of the project, we take pride in knowing that we have properly prepared the surface and applied a high-quality finish that will last for many years to come.

Our exterior painting process for a residential home typically involves the following steps:

1. Preparation: This includes power washing the exterior surface, scraping and sanding any loose paint, repairing cracks and holes, and covering windows, doors and surrounding areas with plastic sheeting to protect from paint splatters.
2. Priming: This step involves applying a primer to the surface to ensure better adhesion and coverage of the paint. A primer can also help with color uniformity, and improve the durability and longevity of the paint job.
3. Painting: The actual painting process includes applying two or more coats of paint, allowing for adequate drying time between coats. Painters may use brushes, rollers or sprayers to apply the paint, depending on the surface and the desired finish.
4. Clean up: After the painting is completed, the painters will clean up the site and remove any debris and used materials, such as plastic sheeting, masking tape and ladders.

Note: This is a general process and may vary slightly depending on the specific requirements of the job and the preferences of the homeowner or painter.
