Sharp trim and crisp shutters define your home's look. We paint window trim, shutters, front doors, garage doors, and all exterior millwork with clean edges and durable finish coats.
Porches and decks take a beating from foot traffic and weather. We apply deck-specific coatings and paints built to handle Decatur's freeze-thaw cycles and summer sun without peeling or fading.
Great exterior painting starts with thorough prep. We pressure wash all surfaces, scrape loose paint, caulk gaps, sand rough areas, and spot-prime bare wood before any topcoat goes on. No shortcuts.
For cedar, redwood, or natural wood surfaces, staining gives rich color while letting the grain show through. We apply penetrating or semi-transparent stains and sealers that protect from moisture and UV fade.
Rotted trim boards, cracked caulk lines, and damaged siding let water in. We identify and repair minor exterior wood rot, re-caulk windows and trim joints, and seal every gap before painting so your results last.
