Three things people ask us first
Do you charge to drive out to Medford?
No. Medford is inside the area we cover with no travel charge, and estimates are always free.
My north side is green with mildew. Can that be painted over?
Not directly. Growth has to be cleaned off and the surface has to dry before anything goes on, or it comes right back through the new coat. We handle the cleaning as part of the exterior job rather than treating it as an extra.
Can cedar siding be painted, or does it have to be stained?
Both are options and the right answer depends on what is on there now and what condition the wood is in. We look at it before recommending one, because switching a stained surface to paint is a decision that is hard to reverse later.
Shade is the real variable
Medford has a lot of tree cover, and tree cover changes what an exterior needs. A wall that stays damp under shade holds mildew, wood siding takes longer to dry after rain, and the same coating that lasts fine on a sunny elevation can fail early on the shaded one. We inspect each side of the house separately rather than pricing the building as one uniform surface.
That usually means a thorough wash first, letting the substrate dry properly, spot-priming any bare wood, and then coating with a product suited to the exposure. Rushing the drying window is the single most common reason exterior work in wooded areas does not hold.
Wood siding and trim
Cedar and other wood siding rewards good prep and punishes shortcuts. Loose film has to come off, nail heads and end grain need attention, and the finish has to be chosen with the existing coating in mind. On homes with wide overhangs, deep porches or screened rooms we also check the sheltered areas, since those collect dust and cobwebs that will stop paint from bonding.
Interiors here often have real woodwork worth keeping, so we talk through what should be painted and what is better left alone before anything gets masked off.
