WHAT TO EXPECT
Your Exterior Painting Process
We want to keep you informed every step of the way! Below is a breakdown of each major phase in your exterior painting project. A few days before each event, you'll receive a text reminder with a link to this page so you know what to expect.


1. Pressure Washing & Sherwin-Williams Paint Delivery
Before we begin painting, we ensure your home's exterior is clean and prepped for maximum paint adhesion.
Pressure Washing (2-4 Days Before Painting)
-
We use a gentle but effective pressure wash to remove dirt, mildew, and any loose paint.
-
Before we begin, we'll do a pre-walk with you to:
-
Confirm paint colors and any final details.​
-
Point out items we recommend removing, such as potted plants, outdoor decor, or ornamentals near the home.
-
Explain what to expect over the next few days.
-
-
Your home will be ready for prep and painting immediately after washing.
​
Sherwin-Williams Paint Delivery (Day Before or Morning of Painting)
-
Your premium Sherwin-Williams Exterior Paint will arrive either the day before or the morning of painting day.
-
This ensures we have everything on-site and ready to go as soon as prep is complete.
-
If you haven't finalized your color yet, don't worry - we'll confirm before ordering!



2. 8-Step Paint Prep Process
Proper prep is the key to a flawless, long-lasting paint job. Expect this process to take the majority of the first day to complete, depending on the condition of your home.
Here's what happens before we start painting:
1. Pressure Wash - Removes dirt and debris for proper paint adhesion. ALREADY COMPLETE
2. Scrape Loose Paint - Any peeling or chipping areas are scraped down to a sound surface.
3. Secure Nails - Loose nails are reset to ensure trim and siding are secure.
4. Caulk Nail Heads - Small gaps from nail holes are sealed to prevent moisture intrusion.
5. Caulk Seams & Trim - We seal cracks and joints for a seamless, weather-tight finish.
6. Prime Lower Panels - All lower sections above grade or roofline are primed for durability.
7. Prime Bare Surfaces - Any exposed wood or previously unpainted areas are spot-primed.
8. Mask Windows & Doors - We cover all windows, doors, and non-painted surfaces for protection.​
