Exterior House Painting in Waltham, MA
Paint only lasts as long as what is under it. Most of the work on an exterior repaint happens before the first coat goes on, and that is the part worth asking any contractor about.

The prep, honestly
- Wash Chalk, pollen, mildew and dirt come off before anything else happens.
- Scrape Loose and failing paint comes off rather than getting painted over.
- Sand Edges get feathered so the new coat does not telegraph the old one.
- Prime bare wood Any wood we take back to bare gets primed before topcoat.
- Caulk and repair Open joints and damaged trim get dealt with, not painted around.
Wash and paint as one job
We do both, so the wash and the paint can be one engagement with one crew rather than two contractors and two schedules. That also removes the argument about whether the surface was clean enough when the coating went on, because the same people did both.
Power washingNew England timing
Exterior coatings realistically run May through October here. Outside that window the temperature and the overnight dew stop being reliable, and a coating applied in the wrong conditions is a coating that fails early. We book the season in order, so earlier calls get the better dates.
