What lets go on a house

Peeling exterior paint on siding and trim is almost never a paint problem on its own. It is a surface problem. Paint laid over dirt, chalking, or an old coat that was already letting go will follow the old coat off the wall, however good the new can is. Faded log home finish and the wrong paint on the wrong surface, interior product on an exterior wall or wood paint on metal, fail the same way: early, and in sheets.

That is why a Harry Joles crew starts with the surface, not the colour. Over 55 years of combined experience on staff has taught the second generation of this Boyceville family business to read what is under the paint before a brush comes out.

Picking the paint for each surface

Siding, trim, a metal railing and an interior wall do not want the same coating. We help you choose paint for each surface and work with Sherwin-Williams, Valspar, DuPont, Pittsburgh and Hallman Lindsay, so the match is made to the job rather than to whatever is in the truck.

Exterior work starts with pressure washing or sandblasting, depending on what is on the wall. Interior rooms get the same attention to prep, because a clean, sound surface is what holds the finish. The full prep menu, including wet-and-dry blasting and hand-tool cleaning, is on our sandblasting and pressure washing page.

Log homes, plastic sheeting and a phone that gets answered

We coat log homes along with exterior house painting, and logs need prep before any coating goes on. In the job shown below the garage is wrapped in plastic sheeting while the log-style exterior is worked: masking is part of the craft, not an afterthought.

Constant communication is how we run every project. You know what is happening and what comes next, and if something changes on the wall, you hear about it from us. Your satisfaction is guaranteed, and we will do about anything to get the job done right. We do not sell seasonal gimmicks. Call (715) 643-5511 and talk to the people who do the work.

Surface by surface

Each part of a house gets its own prep before the coat. Bigger buildings are on our commercial painting page.

Siding

Pressure washing or sandblasting first, so the new paint meets bare, sound surface and not the old failing coat.

Trim

Hand-tool cleaning where a washer or blaster is too blunt, then paint matched to the trim surface.

Interior walls

Prepared and painted with help choosing the right product for the room and the surface it is going on.

Log walls

Pressure washed or sandblasted before the log home coating goes on, because logs need prep as much as steel does.

Paint family

Sherwin-Williams, Valspar, DuPont, Pittsburgh or Hallman Lindsay, chosen per surface. Questions before the job go to (715) 643-5511.
