Below we are answering a few of the most asked questions about wood siding painting projects.
What is the best type of paint for exterior wood siding?
With any exterior painting project, it is important to use premium quality paints that can stand up against the outdoor elements. For a wood sided home, the best type of paint is often a 100% solid acrylic latex emulsion paint. This type of paint can protect your home from weathering the most over time.
How do we paint wood siding, and what is the process like?
There are a few steps that go into every wood siding painting service. The first step is always cleaning or power washing. This will remove any dirt or debris from your home exterior and allow for a smooth paint application. Next there may be some wood repairs including but not limited to removing loose paint, filling holes, and sanding down rough places. After your siding has been cleaned and any repairs have been made, it’s time to apply a primer. Once each of these steps have been completed, it is time to apply the new exterior paint.
How long does painted cedar siding last?
A cedar sided home is very durable and paint can often last for 5-7 years. Sometimes longer depending on the quality of the service you had and the weather conditions. Cedar can be more susceptible to heat and sun which can result in earlier aging.
