Faded siding. Flaking trim. Dull, lifeless color. When the outside of your home starts to wear down, it’s hard not to notice – and even harder to ignore. It doesn’t just affect how your place looks from the street. It affects how you feel pulling into the driveway every day.
Linsy Painting & Decorating provides exterior painting services in Richmond, CA, that do more than cover-up wear. We help you bring back the color, protection, and pride that your home deserves.
We start with the kind of prep that sets the stage for smooth, even results. No shortcuts. Just tried-and-true steps that make an impact, you can see. Here’s how we get the surface ready:
Thorough Washing – We power wash away years of dirt, pollen, and mildew so the paint can stick without trouble.
Scraping Loose Paint – Peeling spots? We scrape and sand them down to a clean edge so nothing flakes off later.
Priming Bare Areas – Where the old paint’s gone, we spot-prime so your topcoat doesn’t soak right in and fade fast.
Sealing the Gaps – We seal around trim, doors, and edges with strong caulk to block moisture from creeping behind the surface.
Look for soft spots, bubbling, or peeling. These are signs water is stuck underneath. We always check before starting.
Not well. We scrub it first and may use a bonding primer to help it hold.
Only if it’s sanded and primed first, otherwise, the new coat may crack or peel.
