Exterior paint fails from the surface down. Paint over chalk, damp block, or flaking layers and the new coat comes off with the old. The work that makes an exterior job last is the scraping, washing, and priming nobody sees in the finished photo.
We handle the painted surfaces a Montgomery County house actually has: block and parged foundations, wood and fiber-cement siding sections, trim, fascia, doors, and shutters.
Prep depth. Light scuffing differs from years of failed layers that need full scraping and priming. Prep is most of an exterior job.
Surface type. Masonry drinks paint and needs the right primer. Wood needs sanding and spot-priming. Each is quoted for what it is.
Access. First-floor walls and foundations differ from second-story fascia that needs ladder staging.
Season. Exterior coatings need dry surfaces and the right temperatures to cure. We schedule the work honestly around the weather instead of painting into a forecast that will ruin it.
No dollar figures on a webpage can be honest about your specific job. What we promise instead: a clear written quote before any work begins, and no surprises after it does.
Roughly spring through fall in Maryland, when surfaces are dry and temperatures stay in the range the coating cures at. We will tell you plainly if a date is a bad idea.
The surface gets cleaned in the way it needs, washing, wire brushing, or both, and then it dries fully before primer. Paint on a damp or dirty wall does not last, so we do not skip this.
Breathable masonry paint made for below-grade walls. Standard wall paint traps moisture in the block and peels in sheets, which is usually why the old coat failed.
No, and you should not hire anyone who will. The failed layers come off first, edges get feathered, bare spots get primed, and then the finish goes on.
Yes. Fascia, trim, and sill repairs are normal work for our crew, and it is better done in the same visit than painted over.
Our exterior work is foundations, sections, and trim rather than full multi-story house repaints. Tell us what you are seeing and we will tell you whether it is our job.
Photos from completed jobs, taken by our crew on site. Not stock images, not staged.
