Why Prep Matters

A Long-Lasting Exterior Paint Job Starts Before Paint Goes On

Exterior painting is about more than color. The longevity of the project depends on what happens before the first coat: cleaning, scraping, sanding, caulking, priming, surface evaluation, and choosing the right application method.
