Lighting Fixtures and Details

Exterior painting isn’t just about walls and siding. We can also carefully paint and refresh smaller details, including lighting fixtures, shutters, and accents, to ensure every aspect of your home’s exterior looks cohesive and polished.

Our Siding Painting Process

1. Cleaning the Siding

We start by washing the siding thoroughly to remove dirt, mildew, and chalky residue. For most materials, we use a pressure washer, but for delicate surfaces, we may opt for a soft bristle brush and a mixture of powdered laundry detergent, household cleaner, and water. After scrubbing, we rinse the siding with clean water and allow it to dry completely before moving forward.

2. Surface Preparation

After cleaning, we inspect the siding for cracks, peeling paint, or minor damage. We address these issues to create a smooth surface for the paint to adhere to. This step may include sanding and applying caulk to seal gaps.

3. Applying a Primer

A coat of primer is essential for ensuring that the paint adheres properly and lasts longer. We use primers tailored to the siding material—whether wood, vinyl, or aluminum—to create a solid foundation for the paint.

4. Painting with High-Quality Paints

Using premium paints, we apply multiple coats to achieve even coverage and vibrant color. Whether you’re refreshing your siding or completely changing its look, our attention to detail ensures a flawless finish.

5. Final Touches and Inspection

After the painting is complete, we focus on the details, ensuring the edges and trim are clean and precise. We finish by inspecting the entire project with you to ensure it meets your expectations.
