Soft-wash prep, then paint — done in the right order.
Full soft-wash exterior preparation (kills algae, mold, mildew at the source — paint over live biology fails fast). Surface inspection. Scrape, prime, caulk problem areas. Two coats of paint applied with sprayer-and-back-roll technique for the most even finish.
Painted siding, trim, fascia, soffits, porches, columns. Stucco, fiber cement, wood, and properly primed metal surfaces.
Exterior paint life depends on substrate and exposure — typically 7-12 years for high-quality acrylic latex on well-prepped wood and fiber cement.
Paint application guaranteed against peeling and uneven finish on Sunshine-prepped surfaces for 24 months.
Because the underlying surface usually had biological growth (algae, mildew) or oxidation that wasn't removed before painting. Paint can't adhere properly to live biology — it lifts off as the bacteria and mold continue to grow underneath. Soft-wash prep first is what makes the paint job last.
7-12 years typical for quality acrylic latex on properly prepped surfaces. South and west exposures (more sun) fade faster. North and east exposures (more moisture) get mildew faster. Right prep + right paint matters more than which specific brand.
No — exterior only. Sunshine specializes in exterior cleaning and exterior paint where soft-wash prep is the critical first step. Interior painting is a different discipline; we recommend specialists.
No. Painting over peeling paint just repeats the failure with a fresh layer. Proper prep includes scraping all loose paint to a sound substrate, priming the bare areas, and feathering the edges. This is the slowest and most labor-intensive part of exterior paint — and the part that makes it last.
