Painter Extraordinaire | Painting Services in Alpine, CA 91901

We use a multi-step process starting with a thorough cleaning using mildewcide solutions to kill existing growth. Then, we apply a premium primer specifically formulated to resist mildew. Finally, we finish with high-quality exterior paints that contain additives to inhibit future mildew growth, especially important for shaded areas common in Alpine.

Peeling often happens when moisture gets trapped behind the paint film, a common issue here with our frequent rain. Our fix isn't just a new coat. We carefully scrape and sand to remove all loose paint, ensure the surface is completely dry, and apply a high-adhesion, waterproof primer to seal the substrate. We then use flexible, breathable exterior paints designed to expand and contract with temperature changes, creating a durable barrier against Alpine's weather.

For lasting protection, we recommend and use 100% acrylic latex exterior paints. They offer excellent flexibility to prevent cracking, superior adhesion to resist peeling, and strong moisture resistance—key for our area. These paints are also highly breathable, allowing trapped moisture to escape, which is crucial for preventing blistering and mildew on siding, especially on north-facing or shaded walls.
