Common questions

Do you paint stained cedar or T1-11?

Yes. Both need extra prep and priming. We call this out in the scope.

What if it rains?

We only paint on dry surfaces. Rain days push the schedule; we don't paint through weather.

Do you replace rotten siding?

Small areas yes, as part of prep. Larger areas are quoted separately as Siding Repair.
