An exterior paint job in the North Bay lives a hard life: winter rain, summer sun, and wood that expands and contracts with every season. Generally, an exterior will need to be repainted every five to ten years — and where a job lands in that range is decided almost entirely by the preparation underneath it.
That's why Solidarity treats exterior painting as a building-envelope project, not a color project. Surfaces are washed and scraped to a sound edge, failed wood is replaced, joints are caulked against water, and bare areas are primed — then finish coats of Dunn-Edwards, Benjamin Moore, or Sherwin-Williams go on to the written specification in your contract.
Exterior jobs are scheduled in consecutive working days, weather permitting, so your home isn't left half-finished between visits. And every completed exterior carries the 5-year unconditional written guarantee.
Wood moves more than stucco
Because wood expands and contracts more than stucco, paint loosens on it sooner. Thorough preparation — and caulked, sealed joints — is what protects the wood underneath from costly damage between repaints.
Hairline stucco cracks
For stucco showing hairline cracking, Solidarity applies elastomeric coatings — thick, flexible systems that stretch with the surface to keep cracks sealed and water out.
Common questions
How long will my exterior paint job last?
Generally five to ten years. Surface preparation, paint quality, sun exposure, and how well joints stay sealed decide where in that range your home lands.
Will the crew be here every day?
Yes — exterior jobs are scheduled in consecutive days, weather permitting, until completion.
