What clients expect and what professionals need to know
Exterior painting requires thorough surface preparation: pressure washing at 2,000–3,000 PSI, scraping all loose paint, sanding feather edges, filling cracks and holes with exterior caulk (paintable siliconized acrylic) and patching compound, spot-priming all bare wood and patched areas with oil-based primer, and applying two full coats of 100% acrylic exterior paint. In climates with freeze-thaw cycling, peeling failure is most often caused by moisture infiltration through failed caulk — caulk inspection and replacement is critical to paint longevity.

Common questions from clients looking for Exterior Painting services
Premium 100% acrylic exterior paint on properly prepared, primed wood lasts 7–10 years; paint applied over inadequately prepared surfaces, without primer on bare wood, or in direct sun with poor ventilation behind siding lasts 3–5 years.
All bare wood, all previously patched areas, and any wood with previous paint failure (rust stain, bleed-through tannin from cedar/redwood) require spot-priming with oil-based primer before topcoating; a full prime coat on a repaint may not be needed if the existing paint is sound and well-adhered.
Intercoat adhesion failure between old oil-based and new latex paint, or between incompatible paint layers, causes layered peeling; use a bonding primer between incompatible layers; peeling from the substrate usually indicates moisture infiltration.
Apply exterior latex paint when the temperature is between 50°F and 90°F and will remain above 35°F for 48 hours after application; painting in cold temperatures causes improper curing and adhesion failure; direct sunlight on hot siding also causes application problems.
The most common exterior paint failure starts at window casing joints — caulk all joints between casing and siding, around window trim perimeters, and at the sill/casing junction annually; failed caulk allows water behind the paint film causing peeling at these locations.
