Exterior painting, step by step
From the first pressure wash to the final clean-up — here's how a Capture Pro exterior repaint comes together.
1Pressure wash the entire house
Every wall of the house is pressure washed to strip away dirt, chalk, mildew, and loose material.
2Trench the foundation and waterproof it
A six-inch trench is dug all around the house. The foundation is waterproofed and all cracks are repaired.
3Prep the wood: sand, fill, or replace
Trim and siding are sanded, damaged wood is filled, and any rotten boards are replaced — so the paint has a sound surface to bond to.
4Patch the stucco and match the texture
Damaged stucco cracks are filled and patched, then the repair is textured to match the surrounding wall so it disappears.
5Mask everything you don't want painted
Bushes, trees, cars, windows, and electrical panels are all covered and taped off before a drop of paint goes on.
6Apply Cool Life primer to stucco, siding, and trim
A Cool Life primer coat goes down across the stucco, the siding, and all trim, sealing the surface and locking in the finish.
7Prime the trim, fascia, eaves, and rafters
The trim gets its own primer coat — including the fascia board, eaves, and rafters — where bare wood drinks up the most paint.
8Apply Cool Life energy-efficient paint
The finish coats go on in Cool Life energy-efficient paint, for a durable, fade-resistant finish that helps cut heat absorption.
9Clean up and haul away the debris
Coverings, tape, and all job debris are cleared out and hauled away, leaving you a finished house and a clean yard.
