Exterior painting
A lasting repaint starts with the surface, not the color. We put the prep, repairs, coating, application, and final walkthrough in writing before work begins.
How the job is done
Our 6-step process
The written scope follows a clear order so preparation is not hidden behind the finish coat.
- 1
Pressure wash & clean
We remove dirt, chalk, cobwebs, and loose material, then allow the surface to dry before coating.
- 2
Scrape & sand
Loose paint is removed, edges are feather-sanded, and glossy surfaces are scuffed for adhesion.
- 3
Prime bare wood & repairs
Bare material, repairs, exposed metal, and stain-prone areas receive the primer suited to the surface.
- 4
Caulk & seal gaps
Open joints and gaps around windows, doors, siding, and trim are sealed with paintable exterior caulk.
- 5
Two finish coats
The written scope identifies the selected coating and application needed for even, complete coverage.
- 6
Final walkthrough
We review cut lines, touch-ups, cleanup, and the finished surfaces with you before closeout.
Coating comparison
Choose the coating for the exposure
We compare the surface condition, sun and wind exposure, color, and budget before the proposal names a coating.
| Tier | Sherwin-Williams coating | Typical fit |
|---|---|---|
| Good | A-100 Exterior | A straightforward acrylic option for outbuildings, rentals, and budget-led repaints. |
| Better | SuperPaint Exterior | A balanced full-home option where dirt resistance and color retention both matter. |
| Best value | Duration Exterior | A premium option for homes with strong sun, wind, and regular temperature swings. |
| Best | Emerald Exterior | The highest-tier finish for exposed walls and deeper colors that need added color retention. |
Coverage
Product and workmanship coverage
Your written proposal separates product coverage from workmanship coverage. Sherwin-Williams limited coverage varies by coating and finish; Western Edge lists its prep and application coverage, term, and exclusions before work starts.
