Expert Exterior Painting & Coating Services — Protect Your Home, Boost Curb Appeal

Exterior painting cost depends on the surface area, siding type, paint quality, number of coats, and how much prep work is required. NorTech provides upfront, itemized estimates before any work begins — you see the full breakdown, not a vague range. Request a free quote to get an accurate number for your specific property.

With professional preparation and premium materials, exterior paint on wood siding lasts 7–10 years. Fiber cement holds 10–15 years. Deck stain lasts 2–5 years for transparent finishes and up to 7 years for solid stains. Prep work is the biggest variable — properly prepped surfaces outlast rushed ones by years.

Late spring through early fall — May through October — offers the most consistent conditions. Paint needs temperatures above 50°F during application and for the first 24–48 hours of drying. Painting in cold or damp conditions causes film formation problems that lead to early failure. In Sun Belt climates like Houston, Phoenix, Atlanta, and Miami, the window is longer, but avoiding peak summer heat on direct sun surfaces is still important.

Full surface preparation is included. We power wash, scrape all loose paint, sand rough areas, repair minor wood damage, caulk gaps and seams, and prime where needed before any topcoat is applied. We spend 60–70% of project time on prep — that’s what separates a 3-year job from a 10-year finish. Cutting corners on prep is the number one cause of premature paint failure.

Stain is the right call for most decks and fences. It penetrates into wood fibers rather than forming a surface film, so it can’t peel or chip the way paint can on horizontal or high-traffic surfaces. It’s also far easier to reapply — you don’t need to strip it. Paint is a better option when full color coverage is the priority or when previous layers of paint are already present.

Yes. Brick, concrete block, and stucco can all be painted using masonry-specific primers and breathable topcoats that allow moisture vapor to escape without blistering the film. This distinction matters — standard interior/exterior latex paint applied directly to masonry without the right primer is a common DIY mistake that traps moisture and causes rapid failure.

We use professional-grade products from Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, PPG, Behr Pro, and Valspar — selected based on surface type, climate zone, and application method. We don’t use contractor-grade or bargain-bin paint. The product quality shows in coverage, adhesion, and how long the finish holds up to weather.

Yes. All NorTech exterior painting services are backed by a 1-year labor warranty covering workmanship defects. Premium paint products from major manufacturers also carry their own warranties when professionally applied. If something isn’t right with the work, we come back and make it right.
