1-Week Van Deusen Blue Exterior Repaint in Lexington, MA With Carpentry Repairs and Full Surface Prep

Project Description

This Van Deusen Blue Exterior Repaint was completed by JK Painting Service Corp on a two-story home in Lexington, MA. The one-week project included extensive surface preparation, carpentry repairs, full priming where needed, and two finish coats across the exterior.

The siding was finished with Benjamin Moore Woodluxe Solid Stain in Van Deusen Blue HC-156. The trim received Benjamin Moore Regal Select Exterior Soft Gloss in White Dove OC-17.

The full exterior painting project also included entry doors, garage doors, window sashes, and the foundation. The completed project cost ranged from $18,000 to $25,000.

Background/Story

The homeowners had previously worked with another contractor and were unhappy with the surface preparation. For this project, prep work was a major priority before any finish coats were applied.

The team scraped and sanded the painted surfaces, spot primed exposed wood with an oil-based primer, and repaired damaged trim and clapboards before moving into the final coatings.

Scope of Services

Exterior Surface Preparation: Painted surfaces were thoroughly scraped and sanded before coating.
Bare Wood Priming: Exposed wood received oil-based spot primer before the finish coats.
Clapboard Repairs: Damaged clapboards were repaired before repainting.
Trim Carpentry: Damaged exterior trim received carpentry repairs before coating.
Siding Refinish: Siding received two finish coats in Van Deusen Blue HC-156.
Trim Painting: Exterior trim received two finish coats in White Dove OC-17.
Entry Door Painting: Exterior entry doors were included in the repaint.
Garage Door Painting: Garage doors were repainted as part of the exterior scope.
Window Sash Painting: Exterior window sashes were repainted.
Foundation Painting: The home’s foundation was included in the exterior work.
Project Completion: The full project was completed in one week.

The total project cost ranged from $18,000 to $25,000.
