Exterior Painting Service

The planning of a painting project sets the stage for success, although many people can get overwhelmed with all the home exterior color choices.

Our painting specialists and our partners at Sherwin-Williams can help you through this process with their Snap It app. One recommendation is that you use your favorite fabric or image, snap a picture and let the ‘Snap-It’ app do the work for you.

We may also get a designer to your location to help you decide.

Here are a few items that you may want to consider while you select your paint colors:

What is the use of the room? Will the walls have to resist steam, water, heavy scrubbing? Choosing the right type of paint for the right job is important.

Latex – Get the longest-lasting finish with the best gloss retention. Our partner Sherwin-Williams carries latex paints that are easy to work with, dries quickly and are extremely durable.

Oil / Alkyd– Good adhesion, excellent durability and stain resistance make oil/alkyd-based paints excellent choices for trim in high-traffic rooms, such as kitchens and bathrooms.

Consider the coverage area:

Walls – Because it’s easy to work with, latex paint is an excellent choice for over properly prepared wood, vinyl, aluminum and stucco.

Metal – Use either latex or oil/alkyd paint on properly primed iron or steel, however these metals need to be properly primed if you’re using oil/alkyd-based paint.

Trim – Either latex or oil/alkyd paint is appropriate for trim. Gloss and high gloss finishes are generally a first choice.

Masonry – H&C® Concrete Stains and Sealers and Loxon® Coatings are excellent for protecting and beautifying masonry and brickwork.
