Painting Shingle Siding in Westerly, Rhode Island

May 25, 2022

With summer around the corner, we have officially kicked off the exterior painting season in Rhode Island. That means it’s time for renewed curb appeal, fresh colors, and erasing the last of winter’s grubby fingerprints from your home. 

It goes even deeper than that, though. More than just being a pretty face, exterior paint is your home’s first line of defense against rot, damage, pests, and relentless sun exposure. This is your chance to protect your MOST vulnerable, high-wear surfaces, preventing avoidable decay at the same time. 

Did you know…

If you wait until total paint failure, you’ve waited too long. Routine maintenance and upkeep makes the repaint process easier and faster, driving down your costs.

Project spotlight: a full exterior repaint in Westerly

When we arrived, we found a gorgeous home with timeless shingle siding. And while that weathered gray look is a staple of our Rhode Island coastal homes, this particular siding was definitely ready for a fresh look (and fresh protection). Loose, missing, damaged, or rotten shingles also needed to be replaced – a perfect job for our carpentry team. 

Just like any exterior repaint, our process began with thorough preparation: cleaning, masking, making necessary repairs, and covering surrounding surfaces. 

And isn’t this palette fantastic? It keeps the natural charm while still adding just a touch of color. Paired with the beautiful finish on the porch and the stained front door, we have a winner from every angle.
