Wisconsin's weather extremes, from sub-zero winter temperatures and snow to hot, humid summers with frequent rainfall, put significant stress on exterior paint. Freeze-thaw cycles can cause damage, and humidity can promote mildew growth. Our exterior painting process is designed to address these challenges directly. We begin with a thorough cleaning, often power washing, to remove dirt, mildew, and any lingering salt from winter roads.
Surface preparation is paramount. This involves scraping away any loose or peeling paint, sanding surfaces smooth, and meticulously caulking all cracks and joints to create a seal against moisture. We apply a high-quality primer to bare wood or repaired areas, ensuring optimal adhesion. Finally, we apply multiple coats of premium exterior paint specifically chosen for its flexibility and resistance to extreme temperature fluctuations and moisture, providing a lasting finish for your Madison home.
