Types of Exterior House Painting

Our exterior painting services cover everything, from preparing the outside surfaces to applying the last coat of exterior paint finish. If you want to refresh faded paint or change the color to something more vibrant, we’ll take every step to make your home look great for many years to come. Read on below to learn about the different types of exterior house painting we offer.

Full Exterior House Painting

A full exterior house paint job offers a complete exterior makeover for your home. It includes painting the siding, trim, shutters, doors, and other exterior features for a fresh, updated look.

Siding Painting

Siding Painting can be done on all kinds of siding, including wood, vinyl, and composite. Our exterior house painters always apply even coats to ensure your siding is properly covered and protected.

Exterior Trim Painting

Exterior trim painting involves applying a protective and decorative coat of paint on door frames, corner boards, window frames, and other detailed architectural elements to enhance curb appeal and durability.

Deck & Fence Painting

Our deck and fence painting service ensures your wooden surfaces are always protected from moisture, rot, and UV damage. Deck and fence staining is also an option.

Front Door & Garage Door Painting

A freshly painted front and garage door will make a great first impression on visiting friends and relatives. We always use durable paints, so both front and garage doors are protected from the weather and daily use.

Maintenance Painting

If you want your home to look its best all year round, our maintenance painting service seamlessly retouches spots with fading, peeling, or chipped paint.

Types of Exterior Paint Finishes

A finish is the final coat of paint we apply after the primer and base colors. An exterior finish paint is needed to make the base color really stand out or to hide wall imperfections. Read below to learn more about the types of finishes you can choose for your exterior painting project.

Matte Finish

Also known as a flat finish, it gives an exterior surface a smooth and muted look. It's great at hiding surface flaws, making it the best option for older homes or homes with old siding.

Eggshell Finish

An eggshell finish has a soft sheen and luster, like that of an eggshell. It is excellent for outside surfaces you want to pop, but not as brightly as a gloss finish. This is great for siding and stucco.

Satin Finish

A satin finish gives outside walls a smooth and velvety look and is a little shinier than an eggshell finish. Satin paint is also highly moisture-resistant, stopping mildew from growing on trim, doors, walls, and shutters.

Semi-Gloss Finish

This type of finish is noticeably shiny, giving the base color beneath a nice sheen from afar. Semi-gloss finish paint is great for trims, doors, gutters, and railings.

High-Gloss Finish

A gloss finish is very shiny and reflective, making it perfect for accents, doors, and metal surfaces. The downside is its sheen, which makes wall imperfections very visible.

Frequently Asked Questions About Exterior Painting

Exterior house painting is a straightforward project, but that doesn't mean you won't have questions about it. Below are a few frequently asked questions clients have asked over the years. If you have a more specific question or cannot find the answer you are looking for below, please reach out to us!

How much to paint house exterior​?

open faq dropdown

The cost depends on the size and scope of your project, as well as the number of surfaces and types of paint required. Painting a deck or fence is typically more affordable, while painting all sides of a home can be more involved and costly. For an accurate estimate specific to your needs, please contact us for a personalized quote.

How to paint exterior door?

open faq dropdown

To paint an exterior door, we must prepare it. First, we must remove the door handle, clean and sand the door's surface, and fill in any gaps. Next, we'll need to prime it and then apply two to three coats of a base color. Finally, once the paint is fully dry, we'll reattach the handle. It is best left to professional painters for a consistent and professional look.

Can you paint vinyl siding?

open faq dropdown

Yes, you can, as long as you use exterior paint meant for vinyl. Latex acrylic is generally the best choice, as it sticks very well and doesn't chip off easily as the vinyl expands during the hottest days.

How long does exterior paint take to dry?

open faq dropdown

The drying time of exterior paint depends on the type of paint used. Latex acrylic can take up to 3 hours to dry, while an oil-based one will take 8 hours. Most paints need 24 hours to fully dry and cure.
