A clear plan before paint starts
Stains or soft wood may point to a roof or gutter leak. Paint should wait until the cause is fixed.
- Wood fascia boards
- Aluminum soffits
- Eaves and overhangs
- Gutters and downspouts by request
- Exterior trim bands
- Porch ceiling edges
Wash the narrow areas
Eaves can hold spider webs, wasp nests, mildew, and chalk. Careful washing helps the new finish grip.
Protect the roof and wall
Roof edges, gutters, screens, lights, and the main wall color are masked as needed. Tall areas may need extra setup.
Use paint that fits the material
Wood, aluminum, and vinyl parts do not all use the same primer. We check the surface before choosing the system.
Questions homeowners ask
Can rotten fascia be painted?
No. Soft or rotten wood should be replaced before paint.
Do gutters need to come off?
Usually not. We can often work around them, but each roof line is different.
Can aluminum soffit be painted?
Yes, when it is clean and the coating is made for that surface.
Why is paint peeling near the roof?
Leaks, wet wood, heat, old prep, or a poor bond can cause peeling. The cause must be checked first.
