Exterior House Painting

Protect & Refresh Your Home’s Exterior

Fresh paint on the outside of your home does more than improve looks. It helps protect siding, trim, and porches from the snow, rain, and summer sun that are part of life in Vermont. If the exterior is peeling, faded, or damaged, it may be time for professional exterior house painting so your home stays protected and looks cared for.

Handling a full repaint on your own can feel overwhelming, especially with ladders, scraping, and unpredictable weather to plan around. At 360° Painting of The Green Mountains, our team helps homeowners in and around St. Albans plan and complete exterior projects in a way that feels organized instead of stressful. We focus on clear communication, careful preparation, and clean job sites so you always know what is happening at your home.

Our painters follow a structured process on every project and use quality exterior products suited to Vermont’s climate. That combination is designed to give your home a finish that looks good and stands up to changing seasons.

Why Homeowners Choose Our Team

When you invite a crew to work on your home, you are trusting them with your largest investment and your daily routine. Many homeowners we meet in St. Albans tell us they want a painting company that arrives when they say they will, treats the property with respect, and finishes the job without leaving a mess. That is the standard our team strives to meet on every exterior project.

On your first visit, we take the time to walk through the house with you, identify problem areas, and listen to your requests. Our written estimates explain what is included so there are no surprises. During the project, we keep you updated on timing, weather decisions, and any findings such as wood that needs extra attention. This level of communication helps you plan your days and feel comfortable with what is happening outside.

Quality starts with preparation, especially on older clapboard homes and classic farmhouses common in the St. Albans area. Our crews wash, scrape, sand, and prime as needed before new paint goes on. We use reputable exterior paints and primers that are chosen for moisture resistance and durability, which is important when siding faces snow banks in winter and bright sun in summer.

We also know that curb appeal is only part of the picture. Homeowners often worry about landscaping, decks, and walkways during painting. Our team covers shrubs and flower beds, protects hard surfaces, and keeps ladders and hoses organized. At the end of each day, we tidy the work area so your yard still feels usable while the project is underway.

Our Exterior Painting Process

Knowing what will happen and when can make a big difference in how comfortable you feel starting a project. Our goal is to give you a clear picture of each step, from the first call through final clean up, so you understand how we approach painting the outside of your home.

It starts with an on site visit where a member of our team walks around the exterior with you. We look at siding, trim, doors, and other surfaces, check for peeling, bare wood, mildew, or minor damage, and talk through color ideas if you are considering a change. After this visit, we provide a written estimate that outlines the work, including surface prep, number of coats, and any repairs we have discussed.

Once you are ready to move forward, we schedule the job during a time of year and week that typically offers suitable temperatures and conditions for painting in this part of Vermont. Before painting begins, we wash the exterior to remove dirt, chalking, and mildew. Then our crew scrapes loose paint, sands rough edges, and addresses small gaps and cracks with caulk where appropriate. Bare or heavily weathered areas are primed so the finish coat can adhere properly.

When surfaces are prepared, we protect windows, doors, light fixtures, roofs, and landscaping with plastic, paper, and drop cloths. Paint is then applied using methods suited to the surface and product, such as brushing and rolling on trim and using brushes or sprayers on siding, followed by back rolling when needed. We typically apply two coats for an even, rich color and better coverage, giving appropriate drying time between coats based on product guidelines and the current weather.

Throughout the project, a crew leader is available to answer questions and discuss any small decisions that come up, such as adjusting a trim color or addressing an unexpected repair. At the end of the job, we perform a walk around with you to review the work, handle any touch ups, and make sure you are satisfied with the finished exterior. After that, our team removes coverings, gathers materials, and cleans up so your yard and driveways are ready to use again.

Designed For Vermont Weather

Homes in St. Albans face a wide range of conditions each year. Winter brings snow and ice that can sit against lower siding and steps. Spring often means moisture and freeze and thaw cycles that stress paint films and joints. Summer can bring warm, sunny days around Lake Champlain that dry out exposed wood and fade weaker coatings. Our approach takes these realities into account at every step.

When we look at your home, we pay special attention to areas that take the most weather, such as south facing walls, trim along roofs, and porch railings. These spots often need extra prep or an additional focus on primer to help the finish coat perform well. The products we use are chosen for their ability to resist moisture, mildew, and UV exposure, which is important for protecting wood and other materials in this part of Vermont.

Timing also matters. Exterior work around St. Albans typically fits into months when temperatures, humidity, and daylight are better suited to painting. Our team reviews forecasts and daily conditions and adjusts start times or steps when needed so paint has an appropriate chance to dry and cure. If weather changes unexpectedly, we pause work to protect your home rather than trying to push through poor conditions.

After the project is finished, we can share simple tips to help your new finish last longer, such as gently rinsing off pollen and dirt when needed and watching for early signs of wear on high exposure areas. Routine attention, combined with a thoughtful paint job, can help delay the need for another full exterior repaint.

Exterior Surfaces We Paint

Every home has its own mix of materials and details, and homeowners often want to be sure all the pieces that make up the exterior can be handled. Our crews work on a variety of surfaces commonly found on houses in and around St. Albans, from older wood elements to newer materials on recent builds.

We paint traditional wood siding, including clapboards and shingles, as well as fiber cement products that have become more common in newer neighborhoods. Trim boards, fascia, soffits, and decorative elements are prepared and painted so they match or complement the main body color. We also handle exterior doors, shutters, and attached or detached garage exteriors, which are often key parts of the overall look.

Many homes in this area feature porches, railings, and steps that see year round use. Our team can refresh these areas, treating them with the same level of preparation and protection as the main siding. On metal elements, such as certain railings or metal trim, we use appropriate primers and paints that are suited to those surfaces.

Common exterior areas we work on include:

• Whole house siding in wood or fiber cement
• Exterior trim, fascia, and soffits
• Front and back doors, shutters, and garage exteriors
• Porches, columns, railings, and selected masonry accents

During your estimate, we can walk through each part of the exterior and note which pieces you want included now and which might be saved for a future project.
