Exterior Painting Experts
If you’re not sure how big an impact exterior painting will make for your Winnipeg area home, next time you drive up, take a closer look. This is the first thing everyone sees.
Without a doubt, you notice the colours, the condition of the paint & how clean it is. Exterior painting can be a source of pride or maybe a source of frustration.
Exterior wood painting, stucco coating and rotted wood repairs are the added touch that your exterior painting project may need.
With expert preparation, the right coatings and of course the perfect colour scheme, your exterior can regain the look you’ve been missing!
Benefits of Exterior Painting

- Protects your Investment
- Pride of Ownership
- Endless Colour Options
- Increased Curb Appeal
- Cost Effective .vs Moving
- Increased Property Value
Imagine your Home Updated with a New Long Lasting Paint Job.
Did you know that even if you have the budget to replace you wood siding, change your wood windows and doors, you don’t have to?
Wood trim does require care, but with thorough preparation carefully carried out, you can extend the life of your wood frames, windows, and doors.
Did you know that rotted wood pieces in wood window and door frames can be replaced?
We can help you to re-gain years of service from parts of your home you have already paid for.
Why is Preparation so Important?
Does your trim look “old” even after it’s been painted? Does it feel like it was just last year that you had your trim re-painted?
Have you ever attempted a project only to discover how boring and tedious the preparation phase of the work is? Its easy to want to cut corners on this part of the project.
Preparation is the foundation for all that we do, period. If you cut corners and rush to finish, two very significant things are certain to happen.
- The finish does not look good
- The finish does not last
If you have had a project not last as long as it should, it was likely a result of cutting corners to save time.
Time spent on preparation will result in a job that lasts and looks good too!
Typical Preparation Tasks might include:
- Pressure washing
- Caulking
- Power Sanding
- Paint Scraping
- Hand Sanding
- Paint stripping
Basic exterior painting preparation is to scrape, spot prime and paint. This is basic, not what it takes to provide a good-looking long-lasting finish.
Long lasting is the goal and good looks come (as a bonus) with the extra work required to ensure a paint job lasts in our climate.
Paint selection is important
Most major paint companies have products that range from entry level to exceptional and for exterior painting, buying the best you can afford, will get the best results.
Choosing a well-known brand is the first step to selecting paint. If you are looking for the longest lasting paint coating, higher priced products are an excellent investment.
Labour makes up almost 80% of your project cost so spending more on a better paint will not affect your investment much, but deliver a big benefit in longevity.
Beware, higher priced products do not make up for poor preparation.
What’s the benefit of a Warranty?
Protection & Peace of mind.
Everything is getting more costly these days & if you’ve invested in a long-lasting paint job, your warranty should reflect what you paid for, shouldn’t it?
Unlike a TV or Sofa which you can touch or try it out before you make a decision, you have to trust, blindly, that you are receiving what you paid for.
An exterior painting Warranty reflects the companies’ level of confidence in their work. If they have a long track record of being in business and know what works, what does not, the warranty should reflect their ability.
Warranties should protect you
- Paint failure
- From poor preparation
- Improper application
- Cheap paint products
- Poorly skilled applicators

- 2 years of free spring inspections
