Our Exterior Painting Process
01
Exterior Inspection & Prep
Before we begin any exterior painting project, our team performs a complete inspection of your home’s surfaces. We look for peeling paint, moisture damage, wood rot, mildew, and any areas that require repair. Proper prep is the foundation of a long-lasting finish, which is why we take the time to protect landscaping, cover windows, and ensure every surface is ready to accept paint. A clean, well-prepped exterior means better adhesion, better durability, and a noticeably smoother result.
02
Pressure Washing & Cleaning
We remove dirt, mildew, chalking, and surface contaminants using a professional pressure wash designed specifically for exterior paint prep. This crucial step helps ensure the new coating bonds properly to your siding, trim, and masonry. Whether your home is located inland or near the Delaware beaches, removing salt, sand, and grime is essential for achieving a flawless, long-lasting finish.
03
Scraping, Sanding & Repairs
Next, we scrape away loose or peeling paint and sand rough areas to create an even, uniform surface. Our team also repairs minor exterior damage such as cracked wood, dented trim, or small holes. When necessary, we replace damaged boards or fascia to restore structural integrity. Quality exterior painting requires a stable surface—and we never skip this step.
04
Caulking & Surface Sealing
We apply high-performance, exterior-grade caulk to seal gaps, joints, and seams around windows, doors, trim, and siding. Proper caulking keeps out moisture, reduces drafts, and prevents future paint failure. We also use sealers or bonding primers on trouble spots to enhance adhesion and protect your home from Delaware’s humidity, temperature swings, and coastal weather conditions.
05
Priming (If Needed)
Primer is applied to any bare wood, stained areas, repairs, or surfaces that require extra adhesion or stain blocking. We use premium bonding and exterior primers that help paint last longer and maintain its color. Not every area needs primer—but the ones that do make a major difference in how long your exterior paint job performs. We always prime when it increases durability.
06
Applying Premium Exterior Coatings
Your home is finished with top-tier Sherwin-Williams exterior coatings designed to withstand sun, rain, humidity, and coastal conditions. Whether you choose a satin, flat, or gloss finish, we apply paint evenly using brushing, rolling, and spraying techniques based on the surface type. Our professional application ensures rich color, uniform coverage, and long-lasting protection for your home’s exterior.
07
Final Walkthrough & Cleanup
Once the painting is complete, we conduct a full walkthrough with you to ensure everything meets your expectations. Our crew removes all materials, cleans up the job site, and touches up any final details before we leave. Your exterior will look clean, refreshed, and protected—and we’re not finished until you’re 100% satisfied with the results.
