Exterior house painters in Madison, WI
Wisconsin winters destroy lazy paint jobs. We prep like the next ice storm is already on the calendar.
South and west walls on Madison bungalows take UV all summer and ice all winter. Paint that was rolled over chalking or wet wood will peel in two seasons. Super Painters prices the scrape and prime, not just the gallons.
Exterior process
- Wash and inspect siding, soffits, and window sills
- Scrape failed coating; sand gray wood
- Prime bare spots and tannin bleed
- Caulk joints ice will open
- Finish coats on sound, dry surfaces
Fiber-cement in Verona and Sun Prairie is a different system than 1910 clapboard in Greenbush. We will say so on the estimate instead of quoting one price for “the house.”
When can you paint exteriors in Madison?
Usually May through October, depending on overnight temps and rain. We will not put finish coats on cold, wet siding just to keep a calendar date.
What paint do you use outside?
Exterior acrylic latex systems rated for freeze-thaw, with primers on bare wood and mill glaze. Brand depends on the substrate — we spec it in the estimate.
