a local repair or prior coating needs preparation before a new finish is considered. Prepare and touch up the agreed small accessible exterior areas with compatible materials, keeping the repair boundaries clear.
Signs: the surface is scuffed, patchy, weathered or no longer presents evenly or a local repair or prior coating needs preparation before a new finish is considered. Causes: normal use, weather exposure or aged coating or surface damage that needs preparation before finishing.
Identify each small area requiring attention rather than describing the entire exterior as touch-ups. A sound local surface is the starting point. Widespread peeling, dampness or deterioration needs review and should not be divided into artificial small patches to fit this service.
A touch-up can differ in sheen, texture or colour from aged paint. Agree whether a visible local finish is acceptable before proceeding. Repainting a complete component may be a better separate option, but it must not be silently added to the spot-work quote.
Follow curing instructions and expect that weathered surrounding paint can limit the match. Discuss wider repainting separately if needed. Limits: Small accessible sound exterior spots only. No full exterior restoration, waterproofing, hazardous coating disturbance or specialist high-access work.
