Exterior Painting & Staining

---

We are expert refinishers and refurbishers with cedar siding, cedar trim as well as aluminum siding and trim. We understand and take care of your exterior like no other. These are the proper ways to increase durability:

>>Carpenter replacement or repair of rotten wood so it lasts as long as the original.

>>Mildew, mold and dirt are removed by power washing or more aggressive cleaning. Our advanced materials are fade, mildew resistant and have excellent adhesion without pealing, cracking or discoloring.

>>All knots are filed, sealed and primed to stop tannins, discoloration and holes.

We are good at matching the personality, the feeling of your home to the color your feel most comfortable with and will be proudest displaying. We help you select a more modern color for the siding, trim, shutters or front door.

With our 20+ years of experience we know when a wrong color is selected and when another choice is a better choice for you. Thousands of our clients have been helped find just the right feeling and color for their home. You see the house must feel like your home not a house. So many times the client has us back to the do the inside because we understand what makes them comfortable and we want them to be very happy. That is how we stay busy with clients that refer us to their friends, neighbors and relatives.

Yes, we refinish aluminum siding color to more modern shades and it will take years off the home. Our advanced materials are excellent on aluminum siding and usually outlast the original factory finish.

English Tudor style homes with a light backer board behind dark cedar trim. We have advanced methods to repair or replace as necessary to put the life back into the backer board. If the trim has cracks, knot holes or large gaps we also fix without major money input.

Fascia, soffit, freeze boards and chimneys often need extra care. We fix or replace as necessary to get the life equal to the original.

Front doors are often sun bleached or water damaged but we routinely return them to their original stain or color. This saving is usually big.
