After we complete the process, our experts go through each section to check for any touch-ups or areas that need additional paint. We pay extra attention to detail to ensure that there are no smears, drips, or faults. Our team also performs a thorough cleanup, removing all the supplies and masking materials. We leave your home clean and as if we were never there.

Our final walkthrough involves our advisor walking you through our work and making sure that you're satisfied with the work we've done. This period allows you to take a close look and inspect every area to ensure that it's up to your standard. Our team is also happy to answer any questions you may have about maintaining the painted surface.

When Does Your Home Need Exterior Painting?

No set schedule decides when every home needs to be repainted. The condition of the existing finish is typically a better indicator than simply counting the years since the last time it's been done.

Look for signs such as:

• Peeling, flaking, or cracking paint
• Noticeable fading or discoloration
• Exposed areas where the underlying material or previous coating is visible
• Chalking or a deteriorating surface finish
• Caulk that has failed around appropriate joints and openings
• An exterior that looks worn despite regular cleaning
• 
  

You may simply want to change the color, update an older look, or prepare to sell your house and increase its curb appeal.

Why Does Exterior Paint Fail?

Exterior paint is exposed to the elements and experiences everyday wear. Over time this can cause your paint to to fade, crack, peel, or lose adhesion.

Weather isn't the only reason paint deteriorates. Poor surface preparation, moisture problems, incompatible coatings, painting over loose material, or failing to prime appropriate bare surfaces also contribute to premature failure. Proper preparation is an important part of protecting your investment, and we take great pride in it.

What Affects the Cost of Exterior Painting?

Every exterior painting project is different, so the cost depends on your specific requirements. Factors can include the size of the home, the amount of surface area being painted, the type and condition of the siding or other materials, the extent of preparation required, the number of coats needed, and the complexity of the property. All of these are considered and discussed during our estimate process. An estimate lets us evaluate your exact situation so we can determine the scope of preparation, materials, and painting work before the project begins so that you have clear expectations.
