Wood Surfaces

Wood that holds up on the Gulf Coast.

Wood siding

Peeling siding almost always means bare wood that never got primed, and the chalky, weathered look is siding that wasn’t kept up. The fix is the prep, and the prep is your call.

✓Two levels of prep, your callScrape-and-coat (sound and economical) or scrape, sand the edges smooth, and spackle the divots for a smooth, finished look. You pick the level.
✓The caulk ruleWe caulk the seams, trim, and around windows and doors, but never the overlapping laps. That gap is how water drains out from behind the board; caulk it and you trap water behind the siding.
✓Bare wood gets primedLatex ProBlock on every bare spot before the topcoat goes on.
✓Three package optionsSuperPaint · Duration · Emerald. Good, better, best: you pick the protection level.
✓The high workDormers, gables, chimney chases, second-story siding: the reach-work most painters skip, rush, or overcharge for.
