Q: Will Extreme Performance Coating help with insulation value?
A: No exterior coating will actually "insulate your home." The coating would have to be extremely thick and wouldn't look very nice.

This pre-coating treatment will aid in preventing air infiltration. |

A: Yes. 'Spray On Siding' can be applied to any paintable surface. |
Q: What preparation is needed before applying Spray On Siding?
A: While some surfaces call for unique preparation, typically we start by replacing any bad siding. Afterward we scrape any peeling paint or growth. Some feather sanding may be necessary. We then follow with cleaning the surface with a special chemical that is environmentally safe and helps to open the pores of the substrate or previous paint. If mildew is present we treat the area affected with another environmentally safe chemical that doesn’t just whiten the mildew like chlorine bleach does, but actually kills the mildew for good. After preparation, the home or building is ready for the bonding process. |
Q: How long does the application take?
A:
While some jobs can be completed in as little as three days, most homes can be completed within 5 working days. |
Q: Can you apply Spray On Siding over swollen Hardboard?
A: If the hardboard is swollen, that might be a sign of deterioration. We replace any defective siding during our preparation stage. Siding panels are matched and then blended in so it doesn’t have the appearance of being replaced. |
Q: Can you install over cinderblock?
A: Yes. Our product looks very nice over cinderblock. It appears to smooth the sharp edges as well. |
Q: Do you caulk windows & doors?
A: Yes. We use a high quality elastomeric sealant which expands and contracts with the house to ensure a tighter seal and less air infiltration. |
Q: Can Spray On Siding be applied over existing siding?
A: Yes. In fact, most vinyl or aluminum siding looks better than it did when it was new. |
Q: Do you repair any wood rot before application?
A: Yes. It is very important to have a sound surface to adhere the Spray On Siding. |
Q: Do you remove rain gutters first?
A: Each situation can be unique. One may choose to remove and return the rain gutters, but they take on certain risk of future leaks depending on the conditions. Some homeowners choose to have the gutters themselves coated with Spray On Siding. If for example, your gutters were rusted and/or leaking, you may choose to have the gutters removed and then install new gutters after the Spray On Siding is applied to the fascia.
