We all know how important first impressions are; the exterior of your home is its first impression to everyone who sees it.
A fresh, professionally applied exterior paint job makes your house look stunning and protects it from Kentucky’s severe weather. Here in the Greater Lexington area, we feel the hot summers, chilly winters, rain, ice, snow, and sun – all of which take a toll on your home’s exterior surfaces. Repainting your home’s exterior is a chance to refresh its curb appeal and shield your siding, trim, and other elements from damage. Plus, if you’re considering selling, exterior painting is a very wise, cost-effective investment (yielding about a 55% return on investment on average (kindhomesolutions.com) by greatly boosting curb appeal).
At My Three Sons Professional Painting & Remodeling, we’ve spent 18 years helping homeowners like you fall in love with their homes again with expert exterior painting services.
Curb Appeal and Protection: The Power of Exterior Paint
- Instant Curb Appeal: There’s nothing quite like driving up to a home that looks well-kept and vibrant. Faded or peeling paint can make even a lovely house look tired. Updating your exterior paint instantly enhances your home’s curb appeal and neighborhood presence. Whether you choose a classic color scheme or something more modern, a new paint job will make your home stand out on the block (in the best way!).
- ROI: Painting your exterior will instantly increase your home’s perceived value – real estate pros often recommend painting the exterior before listing a house for sale to attract more buyers and higher offers.
- Protection from the Elements: Exterior paint is your home’s first line of defense against weather. Quality paint, applied correctly, acts as a protective shell for your siding, trim, bricks, doors, and other surfaces. It helps seal out moisture, prevent wood rot, and block UV rays that can cause fading or deterioration. In Kentucky’s climate, with humid summers and freezing winters, this protection is critical. Our team carefully preps and primes surfaces so that the paint bonds properly and provides long-lasting protection. You can relax knowing your home is safeguarded from rain, sun, wind, and pests by a durable coat of paint.
- Addressing Wear and Damage: An exterior painting project is also an opportunity to fix minor damage and wear that your home accumulates over time. As part of our process, we’ll replace or repair any rotted wood, scrape off peeling paint, and sand rough areas. We care for things like caulking gaps in siding or trim to seal out water. By tending to these details before painting, we ensure your home looks beautiful and is structurally sound and weather-tight. It’s a comprehensive refresh for the outside of your house.
Our Exterior Painting Process – Quality Every Step of the Way
At My Three Sons Professional Painting & Remodeling, we’ve honed our exterior painting process to deliver exceptional results that last. We understand that having contractors around your property can be disruptive, so we work efficiently while maintaining a high standard. Here’s how we tackle exterior projects:
- Thorough Careful Inspection & an Accurate Quote: We start with a walk-around of your home to evaluate its condition. We note any areas that need special attention (peeling paint, mildew, damaged siding, etc.). You’ll receive a detailed quote that outlines the scope of work, from surface prep to the number of paint coats. We’ll also help you choose the right primers and paint products for your home’s material – whether you have wood siding, brick, stucco, or a mix.
- Preparation for Longevity: Proper prep is absolutely crucial for exterior jobs. We begin by washing the exterior (usually by power washing) to remove dirt, mildew, and loose paint. Next, we scrape and sand any peeling areas to create a smooth, sound surface. We’ll make necessary repairs – for example, replacing rotten wood sections or patching stucco cracks. All bare wood or raw surfaces are primed with a high-quality exterior primer to ensure the paint adheres perfectly. We also protect your landscaping, windows, and fixtures by covering them before any painting begins.
- Expert Painting with Premium Products: When it’s time to paint, our experienced crew uses top-tier exterior paints that are formulated for durability and color retention (we recommend Sherwin-Williams Duration or Emerald, known for long-lasting performance or Romabio for limewash, masonry paints, or lime slurry). We typically apply two coats for a rich, even finish, depending on the project’s needs. Our team pays attention to the details – from hand-brushing trim and cut-in areas for precision to using rollers or spray techniques for broad surfaces as appropriate. We even paint things like gutters, downspouts, and foundation areas if they need a touch-up, so nothing is left looking old next to your fresh walls.
- Final Touches & Clean-Up: We conduct a careful clean-up once the painting is complete. That means removing all protective coverings, gathering any paint chips or debris from your yard, and leaving your property as clean as we found it. Finally, we do a walk-through inspection with you. We’ll go over everything to make sure every corner is painted to your satisfaction. If any touch-ups are needed, we handle them promptly. Our job isn’t finished until you are delighted with your home’s new look.
