Painting Wood Siding Homes in Thousand Oaks

Thousand Oaks has many homes with wood paneling or wood siding exteriors. Wood siding should get repairs made to any damaged or chipped wood prior to painting. In cases where extensive repairs are needed, we can either do the repairs or set you up with a carpenter to get any damage wood replaced prior to painting. Wood siding projects usually need a generous amount of caulking prior to painting. The prep phase for wood paneling usually involves a careful review of all of the exterior wood surfaces and sealing up any cracks or gaps with caulking.

Wood siding and exterior wood paneling can be painted any color. In thousand oaks home owners tend to choose earth tones in shades of tan, brown, gray, and white. The primary color is usually accented with a complimentary color for items like trim, doorways, soffits, and shutters. We offer professional color consultation services if you need help or would like to have color recommendations provided for you. If you want to match the original color we are able to color match even when you do not have the original paint color code.

Prep For Painting Wood Siding & Wood Paneling

Prep work is critical for any painting project, wood paneling and wood siding have their own prep steps that are different from other surface types.

• Power wash: Clean the surface of dust and wash away any loose paint from the surface
• Scrape surface: using a scraper with a blade, the surfaces are scraped. During this phase if any loose nails are found they are hammed back in or replaced
• Sanding: Using a sander we run over all the wood surfaces to even out the surface prior to painting
• Caulking: We then apply caulking to all joints and gaps on the wood surfaces
• Primer: Using a product like Sherwin Williams Peel Bond, which helps seal gaps and lock down any remaining chipping paint
• Top Coat:  A final coat with the desired color is painted on top of the prepped and primed surface
