Exterior House Painting

About exterior house painting
How often should I repaint my exterior?
Many exteriors need repainting every seven to fifteen years, depending on the surface, the sun and the weather. Fading, chalking and peeling are signs it is time.
What time of year is best?
Mild, dry stretches in spring and fall are ideal, but we can paint in other seasons when conditions allow. Paint needs the right temperature and dry surfaces to cure well.
Do you repair damaged wood first?
Yes. Rotted boards are replaced or repaired and surfaces are primed before painting, because paint cannot fix damaged wood.
