South Jersey Office:
a rotted piece of wood is to replace
it, which tends to be expensive and
laborious.
It is highly recommended by industry
professionals to properly prepare sur-
faces and apply a new coat of paint
or stain every 5 years at a minimum
to minimize the natural process of
wood decay. It is also recommended
to periodically check the open joints
found around windows, doors, and
where siding meets trim. Open joints
are sealed with caulk, which also
expands and contracts with changing
temperatures. If seals around these
areas are exposed to the elements
more entrance ways for moisture are
created, thus risking the structural foun-
dation of your home or building.
Over the past 25 years Rainbow
G&J Painting has found that commu-
nities utilizing a 4-5-year painting or
staining schedule tend to experience
significantly less wood rot, thus keep-
ing their carpentry costs much lower
than those not on a regular schedule.
In addition to the reduction in wood
replacement costs, scheduled paint-
ing and staining gives managers and
board members added flexibility when
it comes to budget planning. Instead
of confronting the major expense of
painting or staining an entire com-
munity in one year, sections of a
community would get painted each
year and, at the end of the 4-5-year
cycle, all buildings will be complete.
At this time the cycle would start over
again and; painting or staining can
will resume on buildings painted in
year one. Not only does this cycle
ensure that all exterior wooden surfac-
es on homes throughout a community
receive a fresh coat of paint or stain

“Sometimes the
application of one coat
is sufficient but often
communities find it cost
effective to apply two
coats.”
