Before you book exterior trim, fascia & soffit painting
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Photograph the trim in daylight
Take photos of windows, doors and rooflines in good light, with close-ups of peeling, bare wood and soft spots. Pros can judge the scope of scraping and repair from the images.
Probe for soft wood
Press a screwdriver tip gently into the sills and the bottom of casings and fascia. If it sinks in, the wood is rotted and needs repair before painting.
Choose a color that works with the siding
Look at paint chips against the siding in sunlight. Trim one or two shades lighter or darker than the body color gives definition, and a high-contrast color shows every flaw.
Describe the height and access
Let the pro know the number of stories, any steep ground, shrubs or decks along the walls, and where power lines run. This helps them bring the right ladders or lift.
Trim back plants and clear the base
Cut back vines and shrubs touching the walls, and move planters, grills and furniture. The pro needs room to set ladders and paint the full height of the boards.
Ask about sheen and the soffit finish
Ask which sheen the pro suggests for trim, fascia and soffits. A harder sheen on trim resists dirt, while soffits are often a flatter finish.
Say where in Los Altos Hills you are
Add your neighborhood, for example Fremont Hills, Country Club, and Page Mill, or your ZIP code to your notes. Pros choose the neighborhoods they cover, and it tells them how far they have to travel.
How where you live changes exterior trim, fascia & soffit painting
Best time to book exterior trim, fascia & soffit painting
Trim should be painted when the wood is dry and the weather is stable for a day before and after. Spring after the rainy season, and fall before freezing nights, are best. Avoid days when trim is in direct afternoon sun, since paint on hot wood dries too fast and can blister. In Los Altos Hills, the dry season from late spring to fall is the easiest time for outside work, and the fall calendar fills before the first big rain.
