Our Exterior Painting Process

1. Inspection & estimate: We assess substrates (wood, stucco, Hardie, brick, vinyl, aluminium) and identify issues.
2. Surface washing: Low-pressure wash and/or scrub to remove dirt, chalking, mildew, and salt residue.
3. Repairs & prep: Scrape failing paint, sand edges, spot-prime bare areas, fill/patch, and caulk joints with high-performance sealants.
4. Priming: Substrate-appropriate primers (stain-blocking, bonding, or masonry) for uniform adhesion.
5. Professional application: Brush/roller/spray as appropriate for siding, trim, fascia, soffits, doors, and railings.
6. Detailing & cleanup: Crisp cut-lines, hardware reinstalled, grounds left clean, and a final walkthrough.

What We Paint

• Siding & Trim: Wood, Hardie/fibre cement, engineered wood, aluminium; vinyl with colour-safe options.
• Stucco & Masonry: Elastomeric and breathable coatings to bridge hairline cracks.
• Doors, Railings & Fences: Durable enamels and exterior stains for long wear.
• Decks: Cleaning, sanding, and re-coating with high-traction, weather-tough finishes.

Built for Coastal Durability

• Low-temp and fast-dry options to hit weather windows without compromising quality.
• Mildew-resistant formulas and proper ventilation for longer-lasting colour and sheen.
• Flexible sealants that accommodate seasonal expansion and contraction.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to paint exteriors?

We schedule work during suitable dry-weather windows and within manufacturer temperature ranges. Spring through early fall is typical, with flexibility for mild winter days.

How long will an exterior paint job last?

With proper prep and premium coatings, expect 7–10 years on most substrates. Exposure, colour, and maintenance can extend or shorten that range.

Do you handle wood rot or minor repairs?

Yes. We replace small trim sections, fill, and stabilize where feasible. Significant carpentry is flagged with options before proceeding.

Can you paint vinyl siding?

Yes—within colour-safe limits to avoid heat warping. We’ll advise suitable shades and products.

Tip: Regular rinsing (light garden-hose wash) once or twice a year removes salt and grime, helping painted exteriors last longer.
