\par \plain\f2\fs20 \tab \plain\f4\fs24 Take advantage of the painting season with a
protective coat of fresh paint by ELF! Our past winter weather exposed many problems
for area home and business owners. Get started right away on your exterior project to
avoid costly repairs and to be sure your paint cures during the proper drying season.
Doing so will ensure years of lasting beauty and performance!
\par \tab Don't neglect your project during the proper season! To do so is to invite
further damage and ensure costly repairs in the long run. Wood will rot, metal will
rust, brick mortar will crumble and your paint job will only last a short time before
it ends up costing you in the long run. Get your painting done after the spring rains
and before the summer heat so you can be sure of lasting beauty and performance!
\par \tab Proper preparation is essential if paint is to adhere properly. It is here
that ELF surpasses all others. "Nothing is applied until the working surface is
perfectly prepared if paint is to adhere properly" says Ed. "We inspect the building
from top to bottom to make sure that everything is in order to before painting begins.
We check for bleeding and missing caulk, rotting surfaces, remove mildew, replace
wood and when flaking or buildup is evident, scrape, sand, strip, prime and seal
before we paint"
\par \tab Doing it right involves many factors. Some painters may paint over
alligatoring and rotting surfaces. "Without proper preparation the job will only last
about a year," states Ed. ELF makes recommendations such as burning and stripping,
lead paint abatement and complete paint restoration to bring surfaces to their
original beauty and to ensure the job will last for many years. In other words these
are true professionals, not just painters. They are totally customer and quality
committed.... because they think their customers deserve the very best!
\par \tab Ed Faust is the hands on owner of ELF which is a company that is licensed
bonded and insured in the tri-state area. Ed prides himself as a "one budget" kind of
company "and when people see my work their estimation of me increases greatly" says
Ed. That's why you will see Ed doing the job or on site to monitor the progress from
beginning to end!
