🎨 Transforming Weathered Walls: JayFix Designs’ Expert Approach to Exterior Paintworks
At JayFix Designs, we pride ourselves on providing professional and lasting solutions in both interior and exterior design across Nairobi and beyond. One of our recent projects involved a complete exterior repainting of a residential property in Kitui that had significantly deteriorated over time.
⚠️ Before the Repainting: The Challenges We Faced
When our team arrived at the site, it was clear that the house exterior had taken quite a beating from years of exposure to extreme temperatures, moisture, and poor maintenance.
The issues we found included:
- 🧱 Cracks spreading across various walls
- 🍃 Fungal growth and algae, particularly near cold water pipe zones
- 🌞 Faded and weathered paint due to extreme sunlight and rain exposure
🛠️ Our Solution: Professional Wall Treatment and Weather-Resistant Painting
To address these issues, we followed a professional multi-step process:
- 🔧 Crack Sealing:
We opened and sealed all cracks using waterproof filler to prevent water seepage. - 🧼 Fungal and Algae Treatment:
Applied an anti-fungal solution to eliminate existing growth and prevent recurrence. - 🧽 Surface Preparation:
Sanded and cleaned walls thoroughly, then applied a high-quality primer for strong paint adhesion. - 🖌️ Application of Weather-Resistant Paint:
Used a high-grade exterior paint specifically formulated for extreme weather resistance.
❌ Common Mistakes Painters Make in Exterior Paintworks (And How to Avoid Them)
Many painters especially those less skilled ones make costly errors. Here’s what to watch for:
- 🚫 Skipping wall preparation – Always clean, sand, and prime!
- 🧪 Using interior paint outside – Always use exterior-rated paint.
- 🦠 Painting over mold or algae – Always treat before painting.
- 🌧️ Painting in bad weather – Schedule painting during dry, moderate conditions.
- 🪣 Not using primer – Primer is key for longevity and adhesion.
