Mount Washington takes wind and weather on the exposed walls. Paint fails first on those sides, and at window sills. The honest work is scraping, priming, and only then painting. A color visit over peeling paint is not a paint job.

We will not promise a number of years a coat will last on an exposed wall. We'll tell you if the surface can hold paint at all.

Soft sills are carpentry, and they come before paint — Crafton window repair describes that kind of sill. Paint will not rebuild them.

If a storm has opened the house, paint is not the first page. Use storm damage help.
