We were very excited last week to finally take advantage of the unseasonably high temps and kickoff our exterior painting season at a nice home in Portsmouth, NH in the Little Harbor School neighborhood. This was a job I had quoted after being referred a couple of years ago, and patience was a virtue here. The homeowners decided 2012 was the year!

This job was a great example of how we offer comparable systems to Rhino Shield and Lifetime Exteriors. We started with a home that had not been painted in some time, and the current finish was a semi transparent stain. The homeowners fell in love with the exterior paint color of a home down the street in Newcastle, and off we went.

We scraped all trim and sanded the entire home here with palm sanders to start. From there we sprayed a nice coat of XIM Peel Bond Bonding Primer on all substrates. As the primer dried it’s high build features gave the wood a nice even appearance.

For the finish coat we used Storm System solid stain by California Paints, matched to Cabot’s Bluestone color. The trim color is stock Titanium White in California 2010 satin gloss trim paint. I find this to be one of the finest exterior paints available, and in this case, it really gave the new siding color a beautiful contrast.

I hope you like our hard work!
