#1- Removing Mold, Mildew And Dirt
The exterior part of your house or building is directly facing the outside weather, which makes it accumulate dirt faster. Obviously, the dirt should be removed and the first steps in removing it from the exterior surface is the mold, mildew and dirt removal.
#2- Pressure Washing
After the exterior part is properly cleaned and dirt is removed, the next process involves pressure washing. In a nutshell, it is a cleaning process that leverages a high pressure water onto the wall which hydrates the surface and scrubs it down.
#3- Caulking
In the process of pressure washing, water can seep in through any of the damages and open joints within the building. That is why caulking is considered as a vital process to ensure that there are no damages and/or joints on the exterior. Also, caulking is an essential process in exterior painting in Chicago, simply because water affects the quality of exterior painting.

This is the actual process of exterior painting. However, it does not only limit itself to painting and applying stains, but also consulting about the color or color shade of the exterior painting.
