In Forest Hills, paint prep is the job

The color is the short part. The prep is the job.

Forest Hills houses, like most of the eastern suburbs, have a mix of original wood and later siding. Paint fails at joints, window trim, and any place moisture sits. Scraping and priming are not add-ons.

We will not invent a warranty length in a blog post. We'll look at the surface and tell you if it can take paint.

If trim is soft, that's carpentry, and it comes before paint. If a window sill is gone, Edgewood window repair is the nearby opening-and-sill version.

Interior work should still follow patch-then-paint. A landlord's timeline doesn't change the drying.

Sewickley's more detailed trim is still the same prep physics; Sewickley painting is honest that a quick roll will not do ornate woodwork.
