Exterior Wood Painting Resource Guide
What Rochester homeowners should know before starting exterior wood painting.
Why it matters
Wood needs good protection to avoid rot. We remove loose paint, sand rough areas, prime bare wood, and apply quality exterior paint to siding, trim, porches, and railings.

Tips from Constant
- Bare wood should be primed quickly so it does not absorb moisture.
- Soft wood spots may need repair before painting.
- Check painted wood every spring for cracking or peeling.
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.
