Protection and Appearance

A Lasting Exterior Finish Starts With the Surface

Exterior painting is more than a color change. The condition of the siding, trim, previous coatings, caulk joints and exposed wood all affect how the new finish will perform.

All Time Paint & Plaster Co. evaluates the exterior, identifies the required preparation and selects coating systems suited to the substrate and project conditions. We serve residential and selected commercial properties throughout Northern New Jersey.

What We Paint

Exterior Painting Services

Siding

Wood siding, cedar shingles, properly prepared aluminum siding and suitable vinyl siding.

Trim and Architectural Details

Fascia, soffits, corner boards, window trim, crown details, columns and decorative exterior millwork.

Doors and Shutters

Front doors, service doors, shutters and garage doors using coatings appropriate for each surface.

Stucco and Masonry

Properly evaluated stucco, concrete, foundations and masonry surfaces.

Brick

Porches and Exterior Woodwork

Porch ceilings, columns, railings, steps and other paintable exterior wood surfaces.

The Right System for Each Exterior Surface

Wood and Cedar

Loose coatings may require scraping and sanding. Bare wood is primed where specified, and deteriorated areas are evaluated before painting.

Vinyl Siding

Only suitable vinyl surfaces should be painted, using compatible coatings and colors that do not create excessive heat buildup or distortion.

Aluminum Siding

Chalking, oxidation and adhesion must be addressed during cleaning and preparation.

Stucco

Cracks, moisture conditions and previous coatings must be evaluated before selecting the repair and coating system.

Brick and Masonry

Paint, limewash and mineral finishes behave differently. Moisture and substrate condition should be evaluated before coating masonry.

Every surface is inspected before we recommend a coating system — not every surface is a candidate for paint.

Before the Finish Coat

Exterior Surface Preparation

Exterior coating failures are often connected to moisture, deteriorated substrates or insufficient preparation. The required work depends on the existing surface and is documented in the project estimate.

Structural rot, active water intrusion, roofing problems and major carpentry repairs may require another qualified trade before painting begins. Painting does not correct the source of moisture or structural deterioration.

Preparation may include

• Protecting landscaping, roofs, windows and hardscaping
• Cleaning or washing where appropriate
• Mildew treatment where included
• Scraping loose paint
• Sanding rough transitions
• Priming exposed or repaired areas
• Caulking appropriate gaps and joints
• Minor wood repairs when included
• Addressing peeling or failed coatings
• Masking windows, fixtures and adjacent surfaces

Washing methods, pressure and cleaning products are selected according to the surface. Not every exterior should be aggressively pressure washed.

Built Around Project Conditions

Exterior Coatings for North Jersey Conditions

Northern New Jersey exteriors experience sun, humidity, rain, freezing temperatures and seasonal expansion and contraction. Product selection matters, but substrate condition, preparation, application conditions and ongoing maintenance are equally important.

Sun and UV Exposure

Southern and western elevations fade and chalk faster. Color and product choice should reflect exposure.

Rain and Moisture

Surfaces must be dry before coating, and moisture sources should be addressed rather than painted over.

Seasonal Temperature Changes

Application and curing depend on air and surface temperature, so work is scheduled around the forecast.

Surface Movement and Maintenance

Wood and joints expand and contract. Periodic inspection, caulk upkeep and touch-ups help the finish perform.

Service life varies according to the substrate, previous coatings, exposure, preparation, product, color and ongoing maintenance.

Plan the Color

Preview an Exterior Color Direction

Explore exterior color combinations before making a final selection. Digital previews are useful for comparing ideas, but final colors should be confirmed with physical samples under actual exterior lighting.

Questions

Exterior Painting FAQs

How do you protect landscaping and outdoor surfaces?

Do you clean the exterior before painting?

How do you handle peeling paint?

Can you paint wood and cedar siding?

Can vinyl or aluminum siding be painted?

Can stucco and masonry be painted?

Should brick be painted or limewashed?

It depends on the look you want and the condition of the brick. Brick should be evaluated for moisture and coating suitability before choosing paint, limewash or a mineral finish.

Do you repair minor wood damage?

Minor repairs are completed only when included in the estimate. Major rot, structural damage and active leaks may require another qualified trade before painting.

How does weather affect scheduling?

Scheduling depends on temperature, rain, humidity, surface moisture and the requirements of the coating being applied. We plan work around the forecast and adjust when conditions aren't suitable.

How long does exterior painting take?

It depends on the size of the property, the preparation required, access and weather. We'll review the expected schedule with you as part of your estimate.

How often should an exterior be repainted?

Painting frequency varies by substrate, exposure, preparation, coating and maintenance. Regular inspection and touch-ups help you plan the next repaint before the surface fails.
