How long before you can apply a second coat?

On average about one hour, though humidity and temperature change that. We check the surface rather than the clock.

How long should an exterior paint job last?

Somewhere between five and ten years is typical, and the south and west walls that take the afternoon sun usually go first. Preparation is what decides it. It also helps not to wait until the old paint is peeling badly, because failing paint takes more prep to fix.

Do you pressure wash before painting?

Yes. Washing removes dirt, chalking, and mold so the new paint can bond to a clean surface.

EXTERIOR PAINTING IN RALEIGH

Protect and Transform Your Home’s Exterior

Your exterior paint is your home’s first line of defense. When it starts failing, the wood underneath is exposed. Our exterior painting in Raleigh is built on thorough preparation, quality products, and finishes that stand up to humid summers, heavy spring pollen, strong sun on south and west faces, and the storms that roll through the Triangle.

Our Exterior Preparation Process

Clean all surfaces to eliminate dirt, mildew, pollen, and any peeling paint. Prime exposed raw wood with an oil-based primer, brushed in carefully so every crack is covered. Sand rusted metal, then apply a rust primer before the final coat. Seal all potential cracks with elastomeric caulk to prevent water infiltration. Use the best available caulk and paint unless you have a specific product request.

Weather matters. Raleigh winters are mild, but nights still dip below freezing. Surfaces need to stay above 34 degrees for at least 24 hours after application, so we schedule exterior days around the forecast rather than rushing a finish that will not cure.
