Paint Pros, in business since 1990What Does Exterior House Painting Cover?
Exterior painting is about more than the siding. The trim, fascia, soffits, front door, shutters and garage door all frame how your home looks from the street, and every one of them takes a beating from sun, rain and snow.
Tell us which parts of the outside of your home you'd like painted, and we can talk through the project with you, including colors, the condition of the surfaces and when you'd like the work done.
- Siding
- Trim, fascia and soffits

How Often Should You Paint the Outside of Your House?
There's no single schedule that fits every house. How long exterior paint lasts depends on the surface, the quality of the last paint job and how much sun and weather each side of the house gets. Rather than counting years, watch for these signs:
- Peeling, flaking or blistering paint
- Chalky residue that rubs off on your hand
- Fading, most often on the sunniest sides
- Cracked paint or caulk around windows and trim
- Bare or graying wood showing through
Catching these early usually means less prep work, and it helps protect the wood and siding underneath.
When Is the Best Time for Exterior Painting in Michigan?
Exterior paint needs the right conditions to cure properly. Most products list a minimum temperature on the label, and they perform best on dry surfaces with no rain in the forecast. In Michigan, that usually points to the stretch from late spring through early fall.
The exterior painting season is short here, so it helps to start planning early if you know you want the outside of your home painted this year or next.
Why Does Prep Work Matter for Exterior Paint?
Most exterior paint problems start before the first coat goes on. A finish only holds up as well as the surface underneath it, which is why these steps matter so much.
Cleaning
Dirt, mildew and chalky residue keep new paint from bonding, so surfaces need to be clean first.
Scraping and Sanding
Loose, peeling paint has to come off, and rough edges are smoothed so the new coat lies flat.
Caulking
Gaps around windows, doors and trim are sealed so water has a harder time getting behind the paint.
Priming
Bare wood and patched spots get primer so the topcoat sticks and the color looks even.
