Surface condition
Loose or failing paint needs attention before another coating is applied. The amount of scraping, sanding, caulking, and spot priming depends on what is found.

Planning the work
What to check before exterior painting
Faded color is easy to see, but the condition of the existing coating matters more when the work is being scoped. Peeling areas, open joints, weathered trim, and difficult access should be reviewed up front.
Materials on the building
Siding, trim, masonry, doors, and other exterior materials do not all receive the same preparation. A project may include several surface types.
Access and protection
Height, landscaping, windows, roofing, walkways, and nearby finished surfaces affect how the work area is reached and protected.
Your estimate
What affects the scope
- Size and height of the building
- Condition of existing paint and exposed surfaces
- Siding, trim, doors, shutters, or masonry included
