Painting

Exterior and interior painting, staining, and specialty coatings — where the prep, not the paint, decides how long it lasts.

Constant damp, mildew, and UV are exactly what make paint fail early here — north walls grow green film, moisture pushes coatings off from behind, and a coat rushed onto a wet wall peels by year three. We win or lose the job in the wash, scrape, dry, and prime long before the topcoat goes on.

How a paint system actually works

Paint is the thin part you see. What decides whether a coat lasts a decade instead of three years is everything under it — a washed, scraped, dry surface and the primer that actually bonds the color to the wall.

Painting materials, compared

Coating choice matters less than prep and product grade — but the finish does set how a wall wears here. How the systems we spray and roll most compare, from full repaints to specialty coatings.
