I started Spectra Painting in 1989 because I wanted to own my own business. Working hard in the early years, we were able to build a business structured around making the customers satisfaction the most important aspect of our company. By assuring quality with the best products we have, over the years, built a reputation as the most reliable contractor in New Jersey. As an example, we have had a close working relationship with Saker Shoprites for the past 25+ years.

Painting at the Historic Waterloo Village – What a pleasure

We have begun a project at Waterloo Village, repainting two 18th century buildings. Painting at the historic Waterloo village was an honor. One building we’re working on is the Carriage house, the other is the Seymour Smith House.

Care must be taken when preparing these structures for paint. Only mild soap and light bleach should be used. Low pressure water rinse. And then a lot of hand scraping . Followed by light sanding, Primer , caulk and finish coats. Colors are selected by identifying the underlying coats of paint and choosing the correct time period.

Painting at the Historic Waterloo Village – What an honor, indeed!

How to seal a treated deck.

A good question with a thousand answers . First you must clean it . This is necessary to allow the sealer to penetrate and not cause a blotchy appearance. Pick up a Liquid deck cleaner and ” read ” the directions you’ll need a garden pump sprayer too. Spray the wood to wet all areas. Allow to work recommended time , and rinse , preferably with a pressure washer , be careful not to get too close as it will leave marks.
Once its completely dry , a day or so , fill up that pump sprayer with your sealer of choice. use light weight plastic to protect the house, grass, furniture , Its best to get a local dealers help on which product based on your climate, amount of sun , rain etc.

 

Happy sealing

Electrostatic Painting NJ

For more than 20 years Spectra Painting, Inc ,  has be providing high quality Electrostatic Painting services to the tri-state area.  Our first major project was a Shoprite in Staten Island back in the 90s.  It was our first large case paint.  Since then we have done thousands of feet of product cases as well as hundreds of Check stands.  This is tricky work as the stores are normally open when we start. So dodging customers is in play.  And we must be finished and cleaned up by the time they open in the early morning.  A true challenge. We always seem to make it happen though.  I am involved in all phases of the process and from experience try to limit any hiccups that may occur.  We have a customer base that trusts us completely  because of this commitment to quality and efficiency .  Electrostatic Painting is a mystery to most people, however, if you think of it as just another method of applying paint to a surface, it will help.  The magnetic attraction caused by the unit merely helps reduce Overspray and will allow the paint to wrap around small corners, that’s it.  Not a real hard concept to understand. It does not make the paint “stick better ” .
