Homeowners in Chesterfield, Hanover, and throughout the greater Richmond area know that Virginia’s climate can be tough on home exteriors.

Whether your home features classic brick, traditional wood siding, or modern vinyl or fiber cement panels, we’ve got you covered with products and processes built to last.

Brick Homes in Richmond & Chesterfield

Painted brick exteriors are increasingly popular across Mechanicsville, Bon Air, and The Fan District in Richmond. While brick is naturally durable, it must be painted with breathable coatings that allow moisture to escape to avoid cracking or peeling over time.

Recommended approach:

• Use high-permeability masonry paints
• Begin with thorough power washing and mortar repair
• Apply masonry primer to ensure long-lasting adhesion

Painted brick can modernize your home’s look while providing added weather protection, especially when applied professionally.

Vinyl Siding in Hanover and Surrounding Suburbs

Vinyl siding remains a top choice for homes in Glen Allen, Ashland, and Midlothian due to its affordability and low maintenance. However, not all paints are suitable for vinyl.

Best practices:

• Use specially formulated acrylic latex paints for vinyl
• Stick to colors similar to or lighter than the original to prevent heat-related warping
• Clean thoroughly and lightly scuff the surface for optimal adhesion

A fresh coat of the right paint can give your vinyl home a completely new appearance without needing replacement.

Wood Siding in Historic Neighborhoods

If you own a home in Powhatan or older sections of Richmond, you might have wood siding that requires more attention. Wood can absorb moisture, leading to rot or paint failure if not properly treated.

Expert recommendations:

• Sand and scrape to remove peeling paint
• Use a mildew-resistant, flexible exterior paint
• Re-caulk and prime to seal against moisture
• Professional prep and paint application make all the difference in ensuring your wood siding stays protected and beautiful year-round.
