Exterior Painting

Exterior painting in the Triangle — weather-window scheduled, 10-year manufacturer warranty available

Whole-house exterior repaints with proper pressure wash, full caulking, spot priming, and 2-coat application of Sherwin-Williams Duration or Emerald Exterior — with auto-reschedule protection against weather surprises.

Exterior painting in the Triangle — weather-window scheduled, 10-year manufacturer warranty available

Exterior painting is the highest average ticket in residential painting — whole-house projects run $2,500-$12,000 depending on square footage, stories, substrate (wood, HardiePlank, stucco), and condition. Larger custom homes and masonry repaints run to $18,000+.

Exterior work requires weather-window scheduling: dry conditions, daytime temps 50-85F, and no rain in the 24 hours before or after final coats. Contractors who miss this window produce adhesion failures and premature peeling — warranty-killing callbacks that average $1,800+ in redo labor. Brushline schedules with built-in weather flexibility and automatically reschedules if the forecast surprises us.

Every exterior project includes pressure wash, full caulking of windows / doors / trim penetrations, spot priming of bare wood and rust-stained surfaces, and a 2-coat application using Sherwin-Williams Duration or Emerald Exterior. The Emerald Exterior upgrade adds Sherwin-Williams 10-year finish warranty.

What's included

  • Pressure wash + surface inspection (rot, caulk failure, chalking)
  • Full caulking of windows, doors, trim penetrations
  • Spot priming of bare wood and rust-stained surfaces
  • 2-coat Sherwin-Williams Duration or Emerald Exterior
  • Weather-window scheduling + auto-reschedule
  • 3-year workmanship + 10-year mfr finish warranty (Emerald)

Exterior Painting — common questions

When can you paint my house exterior?
Peak exterior season is April through October in the Triangle. We schedule with a preferred start month at intake and confirm 2-4 weeks ahead with the latest weather forecast. If a surprise rolls in (sudden cold front, multi-day rain forecast), we automatically reschedule rather than risk an adhesion failure.
How long does an exterior repaint take?
Most Triangle-area homes take 3-7 days depending on size, condition, story count, and substrate. We give a firm start window in the estimate and a daily progress update during work. Larger homes or masonry repaints extend to 7-10 days.
What is the difference between Duration and Emerald Exterior?
Both are top-tier Sherwin-Williams exterior products. Duration is the workhorse — excellent durability, 25-year limited warranty, available in flat through gloss. Emerald Exterior adds self-priming capability, better mil build, and Sherwin-Williams 10-year full finish warranty. Cost difference is roughly $35-60 per gallon — significant on a whole-house job, well worth it on south- and west-facing walls.
Do you spray or brush exterior work?
Combination. Body and large flat areas (siding, HardiePlank, stucco) are sprayed with backrolling for proper film build. Trim, doors, shutters, and detail work are brushed and rolled by hand for cleaner edges. The right approach depends on substrate and architectural detail.
