At Southington Painting, we take pride in every project—big or small—and our latest exterior makeover in Southington is no exception. With attention to detail, premium materials, and expert craftsmanship, we turned a weathered exterior into a clean, refreshed home ready to face the seasons ahead.
Here’s a closer look at what went into this transformation:
Pressure Washing for a Clean Start
Before any paint or stain touches the surface, proper preparation is key. We began by pressure washing the entire exterior of the home. This important step removes mildew, dirt, and other contaminants, ensuring a clean, smooth surface for maximum paint adhesion and a longer-lasting finish.
Sealing and Caulking for Protection
Exterior surfaces take a beating from the elements. To protect this home from water intrusion, we carefully caulked all dissimilar materials and filled in any holes—especially those left behind by bees. This proactive step not only preserves the integrity of the home but also helps maintain a polished appearance over time.
Siding and Trim Staining
Once prepped, all siding and trim were coated with Sherwin-Williams Woodscapes Solid Latex Stain, color-matched to the home’s existing shade. This high-quality stain is designed for longevity and weather resistance, giving the home a fresh, uniform look while allowing the wood texture to subtly show through.
A Beautiful Finish on the Doors
To finish off the look, we gave the exterior doors special attention. After scuff sanding to promote proper bonding, we applied two coats of Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel in Semi-Gloss. This durable, smooth-finish product adds both elegance and protection, ideal for high-traffic areas like entry doors.
The Result? A refreshed, protected home exterior that blends durability with curb appeal—ready to withstand the elements while looking its best.
