House Exterior Siding

What was painted: full exterior: wood siding, wood soffits, wood fascia (2 tone colour), window frames, door frames, doors, wood stairs, concrete stairs

Prep + prep tools: We powerwashed the house to remove dirt and grim and to ensure a clean surface for new paint to adhere to. We then let the house dry out for a week before starting with all the prep. A majority of areas had flaking and failing paint and alligatoring so we used scrapers to remove the loose flaking paint and used orbital sanders with 60-80 grit sand paper to help sand down the ridges and some of the alligatoring spots for a smoother finish. We applied elastomeric latex based caulking to all cracks in the stucco along with separated wood in the window frames and door frames to help prevent moisture from seeping in. We were also spraying the entire house so we then masked off the windows, roof, and decks with M3 paper and plastic.
