Air quality in the Bay Area is forecast to be unhealthy. It is illegal for Bay Area residents to burn wood or other solid fuels in fireplaces, wood stoves and inserts, pellet stoves, outdoor fire-pits, or other wood-burning devices. This wood-burning ban will be in effect for Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, southern Sonoma and southwestern Solano Counties.

Winter air pollution is mainly caused by particulates or soot pollution from wood smoke. Smoke from wood-burning fires is linked to illnesses such as asthma, bronchitis and lung disease, and is especially harmful for children and the elderly.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1f497d; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;">Trying to pick a color for the exterior of your home and not quite sure where to start??? Take at look at your roof color and that should point you in the general direction. Neighboring houses on each side and landscape can also help you to narrow it down. The color of window framing can play an important role in trim choice as well as your base color. For an unexpected pop of color try something fun on your front door and remember, red is not the only choice! Most of all be sure to get colors and test them in different exposures, the color you thought was dark may soften greatly in the full sun. </span><br />

"Found a color you just love but when you test it out it seems too dark or too light? Try increasing the formula by 50%, or decreasing for a lighter, softer version. The 50% will slightly adjust the depth of the color, without actually changing it. It's the perfect way to achieve your color your way!"</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We spend a lot of time picking the right color, but choosing
the right sheen is just as important.
Here's a couple of suggestions for choosing the right sheen for your
project:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h2>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;">The Most Common Sheens:</span></span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h4>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>Flat</b></span></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> Recommended for interior level 5 smooth wall and
slightly imperfect smooth wall. Also
good for ceilings or inconsistent areas.
Because there is no sheen, the light won’t reflect off of the
inconsistencies or patches and so it will hide them much better than any sheen.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h4>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Low Sheen </span></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> Is the most common exterior sheen. It sits between flat and eggshell and offers
a little more protection than flat, but does have a noticeable sheen. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h4>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Eggshell </span></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Generally used on interiors and available in all
interior products. It works well for
bathrooms and kitchens. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h4>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Semi-Gloss </span></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">High sheen, generally used on trim, doors and
cabinets and occasionally in kitchens and bathrooms, especially if there is
little to no ventilation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and the more sheen you use on an interior, the longer it will stay scrubbable.</span></li>

</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">Less sheen = better hiding. Using a flat shows a lot less imperfections

</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">More Sheen = Longer color retention. Because sheen gives more UV protection, the
colors will fade less.</span></li>

Here’s a few tips to make sure your painting investment lasts as long as possible!<br />
<h2>
<span style="color: #cc8400;"><strong>1) Pressure wash Once a year (Or every other year).</strong></span></h2>
<strong></strong> Have the house pressure washed once a year to clean off dirt building on the siding and trim. The longer the dirt stands there, the more harm it can do to the paint job.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<h2>
<strong style="color: #cc8400;">2) Treat mildew.</strong></h2>
Most exterior paints have a mildewcide built right into the product, so if you recently had your home painted then it shouldn’t be an issue. As the paint ages, it’s good to keep an eye on the it (Especially on the shaded sides of your home) to make sure that you treat mildew before it starts to eat away at the paintcoating. Make sure to check the labels: don’t use any cleaners that contain amonia. (Caution: Bleach may fade the exterior colors, so use with caution and.)<br />
<h2>
<span style="color: #cc8400;"><strong>3) Check Caulking and spackle.</strong></span></h2>
The old saying goes: “Caulking and spackle won’t hold the house together.” Keep up on the exterior caulking and take a quick look around the house once a year to see if any of the caulking or spackle has cracked. Caulking is elastic, but it can only stretch so far, and if your house is settling, it will probably crack the caulking in some areas. By keeping on top of the caulking on your home, you can prevent expensive projects that require dry rot replacement and prevenet water damage. If your looking for a good caulking to use, we suggest using DAP Powerpoint 230, or “Big Stretch” caulking.<br />
<h2>
<span style="color: #cc8400;"><strong>4) Touch ups.</strong></span></h2>
Once a year, have touch ups done over areas that get more sun, and over the places that tend to settle more. If you do make any additions, or add new wood anywhere, make sure that it’s primed and painted right away to seal it from moisture. There should not be any bare wood on your home. If you add in a deck or railing, seal it right away (Well, not right away, with new wood, you generally want to wait a few weeks for <span style="color: #cc8400;">the</span> wood to off gas before staining), but once it has sat for the lumber providers specified time frame, seal it. If you want to keep the bare wood look, use a “natural stain”. This won’t add any color to the wood.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #33cccc;">Extra Note for homes: If you own an older home, go easy with the pressure washer to make sure you don't disturb the older layers of paint and you may want to check the house 2 times a year for any issues or movement because older homes tend to have more maintenance.</span>Larson Bros Paintinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07609868029820470468noreply@blogger.com0Napa, CA, USA38.2975381 -122.2868650000000338.098120099999996 -122.60958850000003 38.4969561 -121.96414150000004tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890281742010140397.post-25567163855227207462016-11-11T12:46:00.002-08:002016-11-11T12:46:49.116-08:00Finished Exterior Project in Petaluma<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
