Before any paint can be applied, mildew must be thoroughly treated — not just washed off. The process begins with a careful inspection of the siding, trim, and eaves to identify all affected areas. Mildew often appears as black, grey, or greenish spots, and it can be mistaken for dirt. A simple test with a drop of bleach will confirm its presence: if the spot lightens within a minute, it is mildew. The treatment involves applying a specialized mildewcide solution, typically a mixture of sodium hypochlorite (bleach) and water, combined with a surfactant to help it penetrate porous surfaces like wood or old paint. This solution is sprayed on low pressure to avoid driving moisture into the wall cavity, then allowed to dwell for 10–15 minutes to kill the spores at the root. After dwell time, the area is scrubbed with a soft-bristle brush to remove any remaining residue, then rinsed thoroughly with clean water. For stubborn infestations, a second application may be necessary. Once the surface is dry — which can take a full day in Rochester’s variable weather — a primer with mildew-resistant properties is applied before the topcoat. Skipping this step means the mildew will bleed through new paint within months, causing peeling and discoloration. For Rochester properties, this treatment is not optional; it is the only way to ensure a paint job that lasts through the region’s freeze-thaw cycles and damp springs. ## Areas We Cover in Rochester Exterior Painting Rochester provides mildew treatment and painting services across the city and its surrounding neighborhoods. We cover the 19th Ward, the ABC Streets Neighborhood (including Adams, Bartlett, and Champlain streets), Arnett, Barnard, Beechwood, and Brown Square. Our crews also work in the areas near local landmarks such as the Seneca Park Zoo, where you can find the African black-footed penguin, African elephant, African spurred tortoise, and the Amur tiger exhibits. Whether your home is in the historic district of Brown Square or the tree-lined streets of Beechwood, we bring the same attention to detail for mildew remediation before painting. ## What to Expect When you schedule mildew treatment before painting with us, here is what the process looks like: - A thorough inspection of all exterior surfaces to map mildew growth. - Application of a commercial-grade mildewcide solution, not just a pressure wash. - Gentle scrubbing and rinsing to remove dead spores without damaging siding. - A drying period of 24–48 hours, depending on weather, to ensure complete evaporation. - A primer coat with built-in mildewcide to prevent future growth. - Final paint application only after the surface passes a moisture test. We do not rush this step. Proper mildew treatment is the foundation of a durable paint finish in Rochester’s climate. Ready to give your home a fresh coat of paint that lasts?
