The Exterior Painting Process
At CertaPro Painters® of Pittsburgh East, we excel at not only painting but each of the services needed to complete a flawless finish. This means we have contractors dedicated to getting your home ready to receive a professional painting service.
The first step is cleaning and preparation. We can use both hand and power washing to remove stains, dirt, mildew, and debris from the surface of your house prior to your exterior painting service. This allows for better paint adherence and increases the paint’s longevity.
Once your house is clean, our team inspects your house for any underlying issues that can cause paint failure. Homes can develop cracks and problems in the substrate. If these are not dealt with as they develop, bigger issues can grow from them. Foundations and substrates should be in good condition prior to painting. Putting the repairs in place now allows our crew to prime and paint your residence efficiently.
Our painting contractors are experts at providing you with the best paint coating and coverage for your house, regardless of its exterior. Most of the homes in our communities are covered with brick, vinyl, and wood. Adding exterior house painting to your to-do list gives your home a fresh, new look. We even offer each of our clients a free color consultation and estimate.
Types of exterior services include:
- Stucco
- Wood
- Vinyl Siding & Aluminum Side
- Brick
- Cedar
We can also assist with painting garage doors, decks, railings, fascia, soffit, and gutters.

Common Questions About Exterior Painting Projects
How much does exterior house painting cost per square foot?
There are many factors that impact the price of exterior painting projects, including the type of surface being painted, the number of coats, damage to surfaces needing repairs, the ease of access to surfaces (is special equipment like scaffolding or lifts needed), and the region the project is in. To get accurate pricing for your unique project, set up an estimate appointment with CertaPro Painters® of Pittsburgh East.

It depends on the scope of the damage. CertaPro Painters® of Pittsburgh East can do non-structural light carpentry repairs to exterior surfaces including replacing rotted wood, painting brick, or repairing vinyl siding
Can you paint my exterior in rainy weather?
Mother Nature is a powerful force and one that we pay close attention to. Our local painting team will do its best to reschedule your project in a timely manner if it is delayed due to inclement weather.
Can exterior painting be done in cold weather?
Most paint products advise not to paint when the temperature is below 35 degrees Fahrenheit. Some products that utilize new technology can be applied as low as 35 degrees, but we generally advise not doing exterior painting when in cold months.
What are the benefits of painting my home’s exterior?
Paint is the first line of defense for your home. Paint protects the surfaces on the exterior of your home from rain, snow, sun, and other weather-related damage. It is important to maintain the exterior painted surfaces to prevent long-term damage to the home.
How should I prepare for my exterior painting project?
To make your home transformation the best experience possible, when having the exterior of your home painted make sure the perimeter of the home is clear of any major obstructions that would get in the way of the painters. If you have any pets, please keep them inside while the painters are working on the exterior.
How often should I paint the exterior of my home?
It will depend on several factors, but on average most homes need exterior painting done every 10 years.
