Exterior Painting in Everett, MA
Full pressure wash, scrape back anything loose, feather the edges, replace rotted wood, caulk every gap, prime bare surfaces, then two coats.
How this plays out in Everett
Most of what we paint in Everett is two- and three-family houses. Two- and three-families from the 1900s through the 1920s on small lots, plus brick multi-family along the main corridors. Everett buildings sit within a few feet of each other. Access is the constraint on every exterior job here.
Our process
Full pressure wash, scrape back anything loose, feather the edges, replace rotted wood, caulk every gap, prime bare surfaces, then two coats.
Wash, then let it dry — 48 hours minimum, longer on north elevations that never see sun. Then scrape everything lifting, feather the edges with 80 grit so the transition doesn't telegraph through the finish, spot prime bare wood the same day it's exposed, and caulk after priming rather than before so the caulk bonds to primer instead of raw grain.
Where these jobs go wrong
Nearly every failed exterior we're called to repaint failed for the same reason: someone coated over chalky, damp or mildewed siding. Paint doesn't stick to dirt, and no product on the shelf fixes bad prep.
