Vinyl, aluminum, wood and board and batten. Washed, prepped and sprayed in a colour that survives an Ottawa summer and an Ottawa winter.
Yes, and on most houses it is the obvious call. Siding that has faded, chalked or gone out of style is a finish problem. Replacing it means paying for material and disposal to solve something a coating solves.
Vinyl can be painted, with two rules. The paint has to be a product rated for vinyl, and the colour cannot be significantly darker than the original unless the product is formulated for it, because dark colours absorb heat and vinyl moves when it gets hot.
Aluminum and wood are more forgiving on colour but less forgiving on prep. Aluminum chalks heavily and has to be washed back to a clean surface. Wood needs the failed material off before anything new goes on.
The lower two feet take spray off the street all winter. That band always fails first, and it is the first thing people notice from the sidewalk.
The walls that take afternoon sun fade years ahead of the rest of the house. If two sides of your place look like different colours, that is why.
Water gets behind failing caulking, freezes, and opens the gap wider every cycle. Caulk is prep, not a finishing touch.
Substrate, condition, colour direction and the problem areas. You get the scope in writing before anything starts.
Chalk, dirt, cobwebs and mildew come off. On aluminum this stage does most of the work.
Loose boards, failed caulking and open seams get dealt with. Painting over a bad seam just hides it until spring.
Windows, doors, lights, meters, decks and planting covered before a sprayer comes out.
Bare wood, repairs and any bleed-through spots. Not the whole house unless the whole house needs it.
Sprayed for even coverage, back rolled or brushed where the surface calls for it. Trim and details cut in by hand.
Masking off, site cleared, and we walk the property with you before we leave.
