An exterior needs a plan for every elevation, not just the front door. INSPIRE Painting serves Rochester Hills with siding, brick, trim and door painting, along with power washing and carpentry repairs. We review access, surface condition and color choices before setting out the scope.

Look at the whole elevation

Gables, upper trim and a chimney chase may need as much attention as the surfaces close to the ground. Our two-story colonial gallery shows siding, trim, a tall chimney chase and a charcoal front door. It is a useful example of the range of surfaces to consider when planning your own exterior update.

Prepare wood and existing coatings

Loose paint, exposed wood and failed boards affect the preparation needed before the finish. We can include scraping, priming, power washing and carpentry with the painting. The farmhouse gallery documents that sequence, from scraped siding and new boards to a sage finish with white trim. Your estimate identifies the work needed at your property.

Consider access and the surrounding space

Landscaping, patios, rooflines and the entrances you use all influence how the work is approached. Tell us about other work taking place around the house and any access restrictions. We discuss scheduling with the outdoor conditions and coating requirements in mind, and agree the areas to protect before the painting begins.

Talk through your project

Bronze garage door and fascia against unpainted pale brick on a ranch home — A garage door and roofline can change the look while the brick stays unpainted.

Look closer. The prep matters.

A fresh color is the visible part. These photos from two of our exterior projects show condition, repairs and masking.

Peeling paint exposes wood on a ranch soffit above a patio — Inspect the surface.
Find loose paint, worn edges and damaged wood. Agree which areas need cleaning, scraping or repair before choosing the finish.
Brick-ranch project: peeling paint on the soffit before repainting.

New wood window casing fitted to clapboard siding during exterior repairs — Repair before repainting.
Painting and agreed carpentry repairs can stay with one crew. The estimate identifies the damaged trim or siding boards to address.
A separate farmhouse project: new window casing before the finish.

Paper masks brick above windows beside a ladder on a ranch exterior — Mask what stays.
Protect adjacent materials and work areas. Preparation and priming are planned from the surface condition and the coating being used.
Brick-ranch project: masking along the trim while the brick remains unpainted.

Same home. A different finish.

The same ranch wall appears before painting, with primer on the brick and with brick and siding painted in matching taupe. Camera positions differ between these photos.

Can you paint a two-story exterior?

Our gallery includes a two-story colonial with high siding, trim and a chimney chase. We assess the access and surfaces of your house before agreeing the scope and schedule.

Can wood repairs be handled before the paint?

Yes. Carpentry services include replacement of failed trim and siding boards. We review those repairs with the preparation so they can be part of the same project.

Do I need to decide on every exterior color first?

You can start with ideas or photographs. We help consider the siding, brick, trim and door together, then agree the color choices and painted surfaces before the work begins.
