Painting

Wash, scrape, prime, caulk, then paint. The four steps before the last one are the only reason the last one lasts.

Painting

Anyone can put paint on a house. The prep is what you are paying for.

A paint job that fails in three years almost never failed because of the paint. It failed because it went onto a dirty surface, over chalked old coating, or across joints that were never sealed.

Those steps are invisible the day the job is finished and they are the entire difference four years later.

They are also the easiest place for a cheaper bid to quietly disappear.

What's included

What an exterior repaint includes.

Color selections are yours to make. We are glad to help you narrow them, and we will put the final selections in writing before anything is opened.

Carpentry first

Paint does not fix rot. It hides it until spring.

Most exterior repaints we quote include some carpentry — a fascia run, a column base, trim under a window that has been soft for two seasons.

We identify that at the walkthrough and price it as its own line so you can see exactly what the wood work costs and what the painting costs.

What we use

Sherwin-Williams Duration exterior acrylic latex, two coats. An upgraded product, and the one we are willing to warrant in this climate.

What gets sealed

Siding butt joints and corner boards, as part of the scope. Sealant is cheap and it is the difference between water running off the wall and into it.

What we leave

A clean site. Plants covered during the work, hardware reinstalled, and nothing of ours left in your yard.

The method

Three steps, and no pressure to decide on the spot.

I

We look

A full exterior inspection at no cost. Every plane, penetration, sill, and joint photographed, not just the area you called about.

II

We show

The photographs are yours, with a plain explanation of what they mean and more than one option wherever one honestly exists.

III

You decide

Then we build it. Defined scope, defined price, our own crews, and a site left the way we'd want ours left.
