Exterior Painting That Starts With the Prep

Usually responds in about a minute

Exterior paint fails where the prep was skipped. Every exterior job we paint is pressure washed first, then scraped, sanded and primed where the old finish has let go, then finished in two coats. We are a licensed, insured contractor based in Mount Vernon. We supply the paint and primer, and you approve the color and sheen. The price comes with a free on-site estimate and a written, line-item quote.

What we paint

Whole houses. Siding, trim, fascia and soffits. Front doors and garage doors. Porches, railings and columns. Single elevations and touch-ups where paint is peeling. Decks and fences are stained rather than painted, and we do that too.

How an exterior job runs

The house is pressure washed and left to dry. Loose and peeling paint is scraped, edges are sanded, bare wood is primed and open joints are caulked. Plants, walks, windows and fixtures are covered. Then two coats. We clean up at the end of every day. The quote states how many working days the job takes, and exterior work is scheduled around the weather.
