Exterior Painting in Sussex and Morris County

Northern New Jersey weather is hard on a painted surface. Freeze-thaw cycles, wet springs, and hard sun on the south and west elevations. Exterior paint here fails from the substrate up, and it fails early when somebody skipped the prep.

What's included

Washing the surface down first.
Scraping and sanding failing paint.
Treating and priming bare wood.
Replacing rotted trim boards where needed.
Caulking joints and seams.
Spot-priming knots and stains.
Two coats of exterior-grade finish.
Doors, shutters, railings and porch ceilings included when wanted.

Timing

Exterior painting in this climate is a spring-to-fall job, and the shoulder weeks matter. Surface temperature and overnight lows govern whether the coating cures properly, not the daytime air temperature.

We schedule around that, not against it. A coating laid down on the wrong day peels, and there's no fixing it from the top.

When you need someone else

If the wood is gone rather than weathered, that's a siding or carpentry job before it's a paint job. We'll tell you, and we won't paint over rot to make it look done.
