Peeling paint, failed caulk, and deteriorated wood can keep a new coating from performing as intended. That is why we inspect the accessible exterior surfaces and explain repair needs before finish coats are applied.
We are a “Fix First” company. When we identify rot or damaged trim, siding, fascia, soffits, or window components, we document the condition and discuss the recommended scope. Approved wood rot and exterior repairs are completed before the affected surfaces are primed and painted.
How We Prepare Your Exterior
See What Proper Prep Can Do.
The Zalinskis wanted to refresh and protect their Salisbury home with an exterior finish that looked right and would hold up to Virginia weather. Proper repairs, detailed preparation, and premium coatings made the transformation possible.
Repairs and preparation come before finish coats.
We address damaged wood, failing surfaces, gaps, peeling paint, and other exterior issues before the finish coat goes on. The result isn’t simply a freshly painted home — it is an exterior prepared to support better coating adhesion and a more consistent finish.
How Does Our Exterior Painting Process Work?
A successful exterior project starts before the paint cans are opened. Our four-step process addresses cleaning, loose coatings, repairs, priming, finish application, and a final walkthrough, with details tailored to your home’s surfaces.
Wash & Scrape
We thoroughly power wash the exterior to remove dirt and mildew, then hand-scrape all loose, flaking, or peeling paint.
Carpentry & Prep
We complete approved wood repairs, address applicable gaps and loose components, and prime bare or repaired surfaces according to the selected coating system.
Premium Coating
Using top-tier exterior products from Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore, we apply the specified finish coats using methods suited to each surface.
Final Inspection
Your project manager reviews the completed work and conducts a walkthrough with you so any agreed-upon touch-ups can be addressed.
Siding & Brick
Whether you have traditional wood lap siding, HardiePlank, stucco, or brick, we use the specific masonry or exterior coatings required for proper compatibility and adhesion.
Trim, Fascia & Soffits
We meticulously repair and paint the architectural details of your home. High-quality trim work frames your house and dramatically boosts curb appeal.
Decks & Fencing
We prepare and coat eligible outdoor wood surfaces based on their condition. For repair-specific information, visit our Richmond deck repair page.
Exterior Painting Questions
Do you replace rotten wood before painting?
When accessible rot or damaged wood is found, we document it and explain the recommended repair. With your approval, our team can replace affected trim, siding, window components, or other eligible exterior wood before those areas are primed and painted.
Where do you provide exterior painting?
We serve homeowners in Richmond and nearby communities, including Midlothian, Short Pump, Glen Allen, and Henrico. Contact us with your property address so we can confirm availability for your project.
How long does an exterior paint job last?
Exterior paint longevity varies with the substrate, prior coating condition, preparation, product selection, sun and moisture exposure, construction details, and maintenance. Peeling, chalking, fading, open joints, or exposed wood are signs that an inspection may be appropriate. We assess those conditions during the estimate.
Do you use sprayers or rollers?
The application method depends on the surface, access, product specification, and surrounding conditions. A project may involve brushing, rolling, spraying, or a combination of methods. We protect adjacent areas and choose the approach that fits each part of the exterior.
