Exterior Painting
Exterior Painting Services in Manotick
From freezing to thawing, ice storms, humid summers, and UV rays that strip away colour sooner than you’d like, your home’s exterior is subject to it all! A new coat of paint is not only for cosmetic purposes, it is the initial barrier between your siding and all the elements that are working against your siding on a year after year basis. With that in mind, exterior house painting contractors from Maple City Painting focus on exterior painting products designed to withstand this particular climate, paints and finishes applied within a temperature window, and exterior products that resist peeling, cracking, and chalking through several Manotick winters.
When the Temperature Drops to -30, Cheap Paint Peels First
Not all exterior paints are created equal, and in a climate like Manotick’s, it shows quickly. In cold temperatures, cheap acrylic products will not be flexible, they contract and crack instead of flexing with the surface below. We use only top-of-the-range weatherproof exterior painting service from both Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore, including their elastomeric and weatherproof products that are designed for Canada’s climate. These products contract and expand with wood, vinyl and fibre cement siding with seasonal changes without breaking the bond. People in Barrhaven who have had their home repainted by cheap contractors in the past often contact us after experiencing paint bubbling around the trim line after two winters, and we can tell you that it will end up costing them more than if it was done properly the first time.
Siding, Trim, Soffits, Fascia Nothing Gets Left Bare
An exterior painting by a complete exterior painting service will paint every area that is exposed to the weather, not just the large wall areas that are easy to reach. We specialize in wood, vinyl and fibre cement siding, all trim profiles, soffits, fascia boards, garage doors, shutters, window casings, porch floors, railings, and front doors. The correct type of primer and topcoat are applied to each surface type based on the exposure and the surface material. Surfaces like fascia and soffits are some of the more challenging ones for cheaper crews to access and/or miss when walking off. We treat every surface of a home the same when we paint Nepean homes, including weathered surfaces that are not as obvious.
Siding & Brick Coating
Our specialized siding and brick coating service provides a durable finish that protects your home from the elements. We use advanced weather-resistant paints to ensure a vibrant look that prevents moisture damage and maintains its beauty for years to come.
Trim & Fascia Detailing
Precision trim and fascia painting add the sharp architectural accents that make your home’s exterior truly stand out. Our team focuses on meticulous application to provide a professional contrast that enhances your curb appeal and protects your wood surfaces.
Deck & Fence Staining
Protecting your outdoor wooden structures is essential for longevity and aesthetics in the harsh Canadian climate. We apply premium stains and sealants designed to resist UV rays and wood rot, ensuring your deck and fence remain a beautiful extension of your home.
Stucco & Masonry Prep
A lasting exterior paint job starts with professional surface preparation and expert masonry repair. We seamlessly patch cracks and seal porous surfaces to ensure your new coating applies smoothly and provides a uniform, high-quality finish across all textures.
What We Inspect Before a Single Brush Touches Your Exterior
Exterior prep separates a paint job that lasts eight years from one that starts failing in eighteen months. Before any coating goes on, our crew works through a systematic inspection and preparation process:
- Cleaning the entire exterior with power washing to remove any dirt, mildew, chalking and loose paint that would interfere with adhesion.
- Scraping down to a stable surface any peeling or flaking areas before filling or priming.
- Caulking all openings around windows, doors, trim and seams between boards to prevent infiltration of moisture.
- Spot prime bare wood, rust prone metal surfaces and repair areas prior to application of full primer coat.
- Covering window areas, light fixtures, power outlets, landscaping and hardscaping to prevent overspray.
- If wood rot or structural damage requiring repair prior to painting is found, we disclose it and do not paint over it
Homeowners in Kanata are often surprised at how much preparation time goes into a properly executed exterior job. That’s not padding, it’s the slowest time, which is the finish.
What Our Clients Are Saying
The Exterior Siding Painting Process That Actually Lasts
Not all exterior siding painting service is created equal; wood lap siding, vinyl cladding, brick and stucco all react differently when painted and have different product selection and application techniques. A penetrating oil-based primer, or “sealer,” is required for wood siding prior to topcoating otherwise tannin bleed and peeling caused by moisture will occur. The formulation used for vinyl siding must be flexible and must withstand the heat of vinyl siding and the correct temperature must be used to prevent warping. Brick and stucco should be covered with a masonry coating that is breathable and permeable, and does not contain moisture. Our people in The Glebe have experience working on all these surface types, not only on heritage properties but also new. and we tailor the approach to the surface, rather than treating every home the same.
Best Exterior Painters for Homes That Don't Look Like Every Other House on the Street
Choosing a colour for an exterior is quite different from choosing an interior colour. It must fit with the elements that remain constant (roof colour, brick tone, driveway material and the natural light conditions of the lot) and it must stand out from a distance, not just on a sample card. Our top exterior painters Stittsville will include colour consultation with every project, guiding homeowners to break away from the one-size-fits-all neutral hues and discover the colour palette that will present a home with street appeal that won’t compete with other homes. We test a sample on the actual facade in various lights before committing to any exterior colour decision as it will be a colour decision that will last for 10 years and deserves more than ten minutes with a paint chip.
Affordable Exterior Painting Without the Shortcuts That Cost You Later
When it comes to exterior painting, cheap doesn’t necessarily mean the lowest bid. It involves a fair charge, the inclusion of all items in the quote, no hidden charges, products that will last a long time, not just because of the material cost, and a process that will not reduce the amount of prep work needed to ensure that a paint job will remain fresh for years to come. Maple City Painter has a BBB A+ rating which is a result of our clear pricing, professional conduct and more often than not, delivering what we quote. We hear homeowners throughout the Ottawa region constantly complaining about jobs that have been performed by contractors, who quoted less, but would need to be done again within 3 years, as it is never the cheaper option to redo paint jobs.
Why Homeowners Keep Calling the Same Exterior House Painting Contractors Back
In a service trade, the best measure of whether or not a contractor does what he or she promises is repeat business. We have gained a following among our exterior house painting contractors in Manotick and the surrounding area for repeat jobs for repaint services, new surfaces, rentals, and referral to family members. We are fully insured, have comprehensive liability coverage and all our job crews are trained on exterior jobs in Kanata and every other job area we work, background checked and answerable to a lead painter who is checking quality from start to finish. All exterior work is warranted for two years after the ladders have been lowered because we stand behind the work long after.
