Exterior painting

Chalking, peeling and failed caulk are fixed before a new topcoat.

What this covers

Brick, wood, stucco, vinyl-clad trim, fascia and doors for freeze–thaw and humid summers.

Before the painter arrives

• Clear small items and wall hangings from rooms being painted if you can.
• Keep children and pets away from ladders, wet paint and dust from prep.
• If the home may have old lead paint, ask about testing and dust control.
