Freeze-thaw cycles, lake-effect snow, and high humidity can cause peeling, blistering, and fading within a few seasons if the job isn’t done right. That’s why we focus on preparation, proper materials, and consistent technique for every home we paint. We don’t cut corners on surface prep—cleaning, scraping, sanding, and priming are done to the same standard whether it’s a colonial in Park Avenue or a craftsman in the South Wedge. Our crews take the time to protect your landscaping, walkways, and siding with drop cloths and tape, so you get a clean finish without damage to your property. ## The brands we service in Rochester We work with the paint brands that Rochester homeowners and contractors rely on. Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore are our go-to choices for exterior latex paints because of their durability and color retention in our region’s weather. PPG, Behr, and Valspar offer solid alternatives for specific budgets or color needs. Dunn-Edwards provides excellent coverage for stucco and masonry. For primers and specialty coatings, we use Zinsser, Kilz, and Glidden to block stains, seal porous surfaces, and improve adhesion. Rust-Oleum is our choice for metal surfaces like railings and gutters. We don’t push one brand over another—we match the product to the surface and exposure. ## Professional equipment & materials we use Our standard setup for an exterior job includes an airless paint sprayer for large, flat areas like siding and fences. We also use paint roller frames, paint brushes, and extension poles for cutting in around windows, doors, and trim. Drop cloths and painter’s tape protect your porch, driveway, and windows. We carry putty knives, caulk guns, and sanders for repairing cracks and smoothing surfaces. A pressure washer is used to remove dirt, mildew, and loose paint before we start. For materials, we stock latex paint, oil-based paint, primer, varnish, and stain. Spackle and joint compound fill holes and seams, while caulk seals gaps around trim and siding. Sanding blocks and mineral spirits handle cleanup and smoothing. ## The standards and safety codes we work to We follow industry standards that keep your home safe and our work consistent. ASTM D4236 ensures our paints are labeled for health hazards. ASTM D471 covers sealant performance against weather. Under the EPA RRP Rule, we use lead-safe work practices on homes built before 1978—containment, HEPA vacuuming, and proper disposal. OSHA 29 CFR 1926 governs our job site safety, including ladder use, fall protection, and respirator use when spraying. For high-performance coatings, we reference SSPC-PA 1 and NACE No. 1 for surface preparation and application. LEED v4 and California Title 24 guide us when low-VOC or energy-efficient coatings are specified. ISO 9001 and ANSI/UL 2580 reflect our commitment to quality management and equipment safety. We don’t claim certifications we don’t hold, but we train our crews to these standards on every job. Ready to protect your Rochester home with a professional exterior paint job?
