Exterior House Painting in Sandy Springs, GA: Durable 10-Day Refresh

Project Description

A home in Sandy Springs holds up better when the parts you rarely look at get the same care as the front door. This exterior house painting in Sandy Springs, GA covered the rear elevations and the front entry, and it included the wood repairs the home needed first. It brought the back of the house to a sound, protected finish and sharpened the curb appeal out front. The homeowner, Susan, wanted to keep the character of the home while fixing what sun and weather had worn down. There was deteriorated wood at the screened porch, the garage door frames, the rear bay window, and the lower covered sections. Buildup and staining had collected near the garage and the front entry. A few doors and transoms had faded stain that no longer protected them.

Project Scope: Exterior House Painting in Sandy Springs, GA

The work was grouped so repairs came before any coating went on. That order keeps the finish even and helps it last.

Soft Washing and Surface Prep

Every area set for paint was soft washed first, which cleans without harsh chemicals on the brick and stone. Interior-facing brick inside the screened porch was rinsed. The crew then scraped, spot sanded, primed, and caulked the painted-to-painted transitions to give the coating a sound surface to grip.

Carpentry Restoration

Targeted wood rot repair and carpentry repair addressed worn sections at the screened porch, garage door frames, rear bay window, and lower covered areas. These fixes came first so the structure was sound before painting.

Trim, Soffit, Fascia, and Gable Painting

The crew handled exterior trim painting across soffits, fascia, and gables on the rear of the home, matching the existing colors.

Window and Door Repainting

Window frames, several sets of French doors, and screened porch elements were repainted to match.

Door and Shutter Staining

The front door and other exterior doors were refinished, and the front door staining was carried through to the shutters and brackets so they matched.

Metal Lintel Rust Treatment

Metal window and door lintels were checked, treated for rust, and primed before repainting.

Stain-to-Paint Transition

A few previously stained doors and transoms were moved to a painted system, which took extra coats for even coverage. See our exterior house painting services in Sandy Springs, GA.

Paints & Products Used

Each product was picked for the surface it had to protect and the weather it would face.

Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint Exterior Latex (gloss). Used on trim, soffits, fascia, gables, windows, and doors. The gloss finish stands up to moisture and sun and wipes clean.
PPG ProLuxe Door & Window stain. Used on the front door and other exterior doors, where the surface takes daily use and direct exposure.
Benjamin Moore Woodluxe stain. Used on the shutters and brackets to protect the wood and hold the color.
Kem Kromik Universal Metal Primer. Used on the metal lintels to block rust before the topcoat.

Matching the right coating to each surface is what makes exterior house painting hold up in Sandy Springs weather.
