Roanoke Residential Exterior Painting Case Study

PROJECT INVOLVEMENT

In February 2025, CertaPro Painters® of Roanoke, VA repainted the exterior of a home in Roanoke. The previous coat of paint had faded and chipped, with a need of a good wash prior to painting.

Our team scraped and removed any loose or peeling paint, replaced failing caulk, and pressure washed all surfaces to be painted on the front patio brick, house-facing fence, and surrounding areas, including the left side, rear, right side, and storage building. We spot primed any areas with bare wood and filled any areas requiring caulking. As requested by the customer, our team also removed all vines from the left side chimney before painting. The chosen colors were white with black accents. All painted surfaces were finished using high-quality materials, ensuring durability and a fresh, clean appearance.

A special technique used was the brick was painted using a Regal Select-Acrylic in an eggshell sheen.

CHALLENGES

During our prep work, we pressure washed the exterior to ensure the surfaces were thoroughly clean. However, we faced the challenge of soft washing around the windows to protect the seals from potential damage. Our team carefully adjusted the pressure and technique in these areas, using a gentler approach to ensure the windows were cleaned effectively without compromising their integrity. In addition to this challenge, we also had to ensure we matched the new paint color with this previous one.

PROJECT TIMELINE

The project was completed in 2 days.
