We paint siding, trim, soffits, fascia, shutters, porch columns, garage doors, and front doors on homes across Fort Wayne and Northeast Indiana. Every exterior starts the same way: wash it. Chalked, dusty, or mildewed siding will reject paint no matter how good the paint is, so the surface gets power washed and given time to dry before a brush touches it. Then loose material comes off, bare spots get primed, and gaps get caulked.
Indiana weather sets the calendar on exterior work. We watch overnight lows and dew point, not just the daytime forecast, because paint that goes on into a cold night does not cure the way it should. That is why we book exteriors through the warm season and are honest with you when the window has closed. We would rather push your job to spring than hand you a finish that fails in eighteen months.
Different surfaces need different plans. Aluminum and vinyl siding need the chalk washed off and a bonding primer. Wood siding and cedar need the failing material scraped back and the bare wood primed before topcoat. Brick, stucco, and block have their own products. On a walk-around we will tell you which of those you have and what it changes about the job.
Small exteriors count too. A front door repaint or restain, a set of shutters brought back from faded to sharp, or a garage door that has gone chalky are all real jobs we do, and they are the fastest way to change how the house reads from the street without repainting the whole thing.
The estimate is a walk-around. We look at every elevation, note where the siding has failed, check the trim and the soffits, and tell you what we would do and in what order. Free, in person, and no pressure at the end of it.

This Work, On Real Jobs
Exterior Painting Questions
Do you power wash before painting? +
Always. Paint will not bond to chalked, dusty, or mildewed siding. Washing and full dry time are part of every exterior job, not an extra line.
How late in the year can you paint an exterior in Indiana? +
It depends on the overnight lows and the dew point more than the date. When the window closes we will tell you and book you for spring rather than put a coat on that will not cure properly.
Can you just do the trim, or just the front door? +
Yes. Trim-only, shutters, columns, garage doors, and front doors are all jobs we take on their own. They are often the biggest curb-appeal change for the least work.
