Do you really apply two coats to everything?
Yes. Every surface included in the agreed painting scope receives two separate, full finish coats: siding, trim, fascia, soffits, and paintable doors when those items are included. Each coat is applied at the specified coverage and allowed the required drying time. Two spray passes during a single wet application are not our definition of two coats.
Is primer included, and does it count as a coat?
Proper priming is part of our preparation process. We prime bare areas, repairs, stains, and other surfaces that require it, using a compatible primer selected for the job. The condition of the exterior determines whether spot priming or a full primer coat is needed. Primer does not count toward your two finish coats, even when the finish paint is described as self-priming.
Which Sherwin-Williams paint should I choose?
We compare your budget, surface condition, exposure, color, sheen, and maintenance priorities. A-100 and SuperPaint offer value-oriented choices; Duration and Emerald provide premium options with different performance features. Rain Refresh adds dirt-shedding technology, while Latitude addresses application conditions. We identify the exact product in your estimate before work begins.
Can you paint my home without replacing the siding?
Yes. Full exterior house painting is available as a standalone service. We assess the existing siding and trim first and explain any repairs that should be completed before painting. You can also combine the painting with a full re-side or other exterior work.
How much will it cost, and how long will it take?
We base the estimate on exterior surface area, height and access, preparation, repairs, trim detail, colors, and selected products. Weather and drying times also affect the schedule. Your free estimate provides a defined scope and a project-specific plan.
How should I care for the new finish?
Follow the selected paint’s cure and cleaning instructions. Periodically inspect joints and exposed areas, keep plants from rubbing against the siding, clean gently when needed, and address leaks promptly. Even premium and self-cleaning coatings benefit from regular care.
