Exterior House Painting Resource Guide
What Rochester homeowners should know before starting exterior house painting.
Why it matters
Western New York winters are tough on paint. We wash, scrape, sand, caulk, and prime before painting so your new finish bonds well and protects your home through every season.

Tips from Constant

- Peeling paint is a sign moisture or prep needs attention.
- Trim the shrubs back from the house before painting day.
Western New York weather and your home
Rochester's cold winters, wet springs, and humid summers are hard on paint and exterior surfaces. Good prep, the right products, and work done in the right season make a big difference in how long results last. Interior work can be done year round.
