Minnesota exterior painting

Prep work that protects siding, trim, and curb appeal

Our Exterior Painting Process

Thorough preparation is the foundation of lasting exterior paint. Here's how we protect your home.

1

Exterior Walkthrough

Cody inspects siding, trim, fascia, caulk lines, peeling paint, and wood rot before pricing the work.

2

Wash, Scrape & Repair

Surfaces are cleaned, loose paint is removed, gaps are sealed, and damaged wood is repaired before coating.

3

Prime Problem Areas

Bare wood, stained areas, patched sections, and weather-exposed edges get the right primer for adhesion.

4

Weather-Window Application

Paint is applied only when temperature, moisture, and forecast conditions support a durable finish.

5

Owner-Led Quality Check

The finished exterior is reviewed for coverage, clean lines, protection, and details before cleanup.

6

3-Year Warranty

A written warranty protects against peeling, cracking, and premature coating failure.

Exterior Painting Questions — Twin Cities

Serving Shoreview, Vadnais Heights, White Bear Lake, Roseville, Arden Hills and the surrounding north-metro communities.

  • Exterior painting in Minnesota runs roughly mid-April through late October — anytime daytime temps are reliably above 50°F and overnight lows stay above 35°F so the paint film cures correctly. We book Shoreview, Vadnais Heights, and White Bear Lake exteriors first-come, first-served each spring, so reach out in February or March to lock in your preferred week. Every exterior includes pressure washing, scraping, spot-priming bare wood with an oil-based primer, and full caulk replacement at seams before topcoats.

What is exterior painting and who does it near me?

We paint and stain exteriors — siding, trim, fascia, soffits, decks, and doors — for Twin Cities homes, using coatings rated for Minnesota's −30°F winters and humid summers. Exterior season typically runs late April through mid-October.

Exterior Painting: our step-by-step process

The exact chronological order we work in on a typical Twin Cities project.

  1. 1

    Exterior inspection and estimate · Day 0 · 45 minutes

    We inspect every elevation for failing paint, rot, failed caulk joints, and moisture entry points, then price the work in writing including any carpentry.

  2. 2

    Pressure wash the entire envelope · Day 1

    The house is washed to remove chalking, dirt, mildew, and pollen. Siding then dries a minimum of 24 hours before any coating goes on — skipping this is the top cause of peeling.

  3. 3

    Scrape, sand, and repair rot · Day 2

    Loose paint is scraped and feather-sanded, rotted trim and fascia are replaced or filled with epoxy wood filler, and nail holes are set and filled.

  4. 4

    Caulk and prime bare surfaces · Day 2–3

    Joints, butt seams, and window/door perimeters are caulked with a 35-year elastomeric sealant. All bare wood is spot-primed with an exterior bonding primer.

  5. 5

    Mask and spray/back-brush the body · Day 3–4

    Windows, roofs, decks, and landscaping are masked. Body coats are sprayed and back-brushed so the coating is worked into the grain rather than sitting on top.

  6. 6

    Trim, doors, and detail work · Day 4–5

    Trim, fascia, soffits, shutters, and doors are cut in by hand for crisp lines. Two finish coats on all previously bare or repaired areas.

  7. 7

    Rain-delay handling and final walk · As needed

    We stop coating when rain is within 4 hours or temps fall below the product minimum, tarp what's open, and resume the next dry window. Final walkthrough covers every elevation from the ground.
