Dave's Painting | Painting Services in Kittanning, PA 16201

Proper preparation is key. We thoroughly pressure wash to remove existing chalk, then scrape and sand all cracked areas, especially around windows where stress is highest. We apply a high-adhesion primer specifically formulated for our climate to seal the surface before painting. This creates a solid foundation for the topcoat to adhere to, preventing the premature failure common after harsh winters.

We use premium 100% acrylic latex paints with advanced resin technology. These paints are engineered for exceptional flexibility and UV resistance, which are crucial in Kittanning. They expand and contract with temperature swings without cracking and are highly resistant to the 'chalking' effect where the paint surface breaks down into a powdery residue. This ensures your color stays vibrant and protective for years.

Cracking around windows is often due to repeated expansion and contraction from temperature changes and moisture penetration at these vulnerable joints. Our fix involves carefully removing all loose paint, applying a paintable, flexible sealant to the gaps, and using a primer that bonds to both wood and old paint. We then apply multiple thin coats of our flexible exterior paint, ensuring a seamless, durable barrier that moves with your home's frame.
