I highly recommend Life Coat if you are considering repainting your property. My house is over 30 years old, all wood paneling, the paint was fading, starting to flake and I had some wood rot appearing in places which needed to be taken care of. So I contacted Life Coat, my property is quite large, and I really liked the idea of not having to repaint again in a few years!
Tim was quick to respond to my enquiry and came to visit and assess my property. He did a thorough job of explaining the Life Coat process and why their process is far superior to any other house paint out there and he answered all my questions. Tim measured up my property and provided a quote on the spot.
Now be prepared, Life Coat is not inexpensive, far more than a standard exterior paint job BUT as they say this is the last time you will have to paint your house, so in the long run this is a far better investment.
The work crew were great, starting with a complete power wash and then priming everything (they prime before they do any repairs or prep work - which was a little confusing for me, but I could see why, the priming process highlights all the imperfections and where they need to repair and prep)
Most of the time is spend in the prep work not painting, they identify anything which needs to be replaced / patched or worked on and they fix it. If any additional building materials are needed (like wood) then you will need to pay extra for that. I had areas where rot had to be fixed so there was some extra to spend, but it was worth it, all areas with rot were cut out and replaced, excellent work.
You have a seemingly infinite number of choices when it comes to color, Jenifer and Philip came on site with a complete set of color Swatches and helped us select the perfect combination of colors for our house.
The entire process start to finish took about two and half weeks and our property now looks incredible, like new, the attention to detail is amazing.
They say the paint is 10-12 times thicker than normal house paint, and I can attest to that, it just feels like a thick quality covering. Time will tell if the claims are true about not having to repaint again, but so far I am thoroughly impressed, and there is a "lifetime guarantee" against chipping, peeling, flaking and cracking, so I feel very confident in my decision to use Life Coat.
