Exterior Painting in Edmonton & Surrounding Areas

Roughly May through early October, when overnight temperatures stay reliably above the minimum the coating needs to cure. June through August is peak season and books up fastest. If you're planning exterior work, getting a quote in early spring is the single best way to get the dates you want.

With proper prep and a quality coating, expect roughly 7 to 10 years on siding and trim, and longer on well-coated stucco. Deck and fence stain is a shorter cycle — usually 2 to 4 years depending on exposure and how much direct sun and foot traffic the surface takes. South and west faces always weather fastest.

Yes, and stucco is its own discipline. It needs a breathable or elastomeric masonry coating rather than standard house paint, so moisture can still escape the wall. Hairline cracks get filled first — the right coating bridges them, but it can't fix a structural crack, and we'll tell you plainly if that's what we're looking at.

Not directly, and anyone who says otherwise is selling you one more season. Failing coating has to be scraped and sanded back to a sound edge, then spot-primed. Painting over loose material means the new coat lifts with the old one — usually within a year or two.

Hail can chip and pit exterior coatings, especially on wood and older stucco. We inspect the substrate before quoting — if the damage is cosmetic, prep and recoat handles it. If hail has actually broken the surface, that repair gets called out in the quote separately so you can see the difference.

Yes. Deck and fence work is cleaned and brightened first, then sealed with a penetrating stain that soaks in rather than sitting on top as a film. Film-forming products look great for one season, then peel — penetrating stain wears rather than flaking, which makes the next refresh far easier.
