Exterior painting

Chalking, peeling and failed caulk are fixed before a new topcoat; colour choice can affect heat and fade.

What this covers

Siding, stucco, trim, fascia and doors — weather-rated systems for sun, rain and humidity.

Before the painter arrives

• Clear small items and wall hangings from rooms being painted if you can.
• Keep children and pets away from ladders, wet paint and dust from prep.
• If the home was built before 1978, ask for EPA RRP lead-safe certification before scraping or sanding.
