Our exterior painting service involves more than just adding beauty and protection. We know how to achieve a durable finish that safeguards your home for a long time. Our team of exterior painters takes care of your outdoor surfaces. We clean, prepare, and paint them to meet the highest standard. 

Our top-quality paint comes with a 5-year warranty. This covers cracks, blisters, and peeling. We offer industry-leading warranty terms because we know your home matters to you. We keep that in mind when we do exterior painting. 

We have dedicated staff for all our services. Teams, leaders, and project managers who know their trade are vital for delivering dependable service. In part, these added values are what separate us from other companies.

Exterior Paint Preparations

Our painters deliver a clean, protective exterior finish for your home. First, we don’t shortcut the preparation process. We wash the entire house with cleaning solutions to kill all organic growth. 

After waiting a few days, we return to start prepping. First, we ensure all loose paint is scraped and primed. We cut out all the old caulk that has split. Our team also fills cracks and expansion joints with heavy-bodied exterior acrylic caulk. We use Sherwin-Williams Maxflex, which is our standard choice. 

If you have old Masonite siding on your home, we check all siding for nail holes and fill them with caulking or putty. If the siding is damaged, our in-house siding-replacement team is available. Our exterior painters carefully complete each step of the painting process. They also follow manufacturer specs to ensure quality and compliance.

Paint Application: Spray vs. Brush

Spraying and brushing house paint each offer distinct advantages. Spraying provides a highly uniform finish. This method is recommended when applying dark colors to large surfaces. It also minimizes the number of coats needed when changing paint colors.

Hand-brushing paint in specific applications provides added durability on textured and damaged surfaces. Hand brushing is also the best way to preserve delaminating siding. But there are some drawbacks. Hand brushing often shows unsightly brush marks on glossy finishes.

We provide both applications and can also combine spraying and backbrushing. We recommend establishing the best possible results for your home and budget. To provide good service, we remove baseless and subjective preferences. Our service will never push things that you don’t need.

The Best Exterior House Paint

Paint quality has merit and is crucial to how long your paint will last. We help you select the best house paint based on the season and surface type. 

We don’t limit our recommendations to cost or availability. Instead, we base our advice on which product fits best and lasts the longest. Some paints excel in other areas, including heat, fade, and moisture resistance. The paint colors will also affect our recommendations.
