The Sawyer's Exterior Painting Process
1. Detailed Estimate
We start by evaluating your home, discussing your goals, and clearly defining the scope of work.
2. Project Planning
Before your project begins, we confirm colors, products, scheduling, and project details so you know what to expect.
3. Surface Preparation
Your home is cleaned and prepared based on the condition and type of surfaces being painted.
4. Protecting Your Property
We carefully protect areas that aren't being painted, including windows, fixtures, roofing, concrete, and landscaping.
5. Professional Painting
Our experienced in-house painters apply premium Sherwin-Williams products using professional application techniques appropriate for your home.
6. Two Full Coats
We apply two full coats of paint for consistent coverage, color, and lasting protection. We don't cut corners.
7. Inspection & Final Walkthrough
We inspect our work, complete necessary touch-ups, clean the jobsite, and walk the finished project with you.
Why Two Coats Matter
Exterior paint has an important job.
In addition to changing the appearance of your home, a quality coating helps protect exterior surfaces from sun, moisture, temperature changes, and everyday exposure to the elements.
That's why Sawyer's Painting applies two full coats of exterior paint rather than relying on a single finish coat.
Two coats can provide better coverage, more consistent color, and a more durable protective coating.
Exterior Painting for the Inland Northwest Climate
Homes in Spokane and North Idaho experience hot, dry summers, freezing winter temperatures, moisture, snow, and significant seasonal temperature changes.
Those conditions make proper preparation, product selection, application conditions, and coating quality especially important.
Our team considers the surface, previous coating, exposure, weather conditions, and manufacturer's specifications before painting.
Sometimes the best decision is to paint.
Sometimes the right decision is to wait for better conditions.
Our goal is not simply to finish the project quickly. It's to do the work correctly.

The right product depends on factors such as siding material, existing coatings, exposure, color, condition, and project requirements.
We'd rather use quality materials and proper application than save a small amount today at the expense of your home's finish.
Frequently Asked Questions About Exterior House Painting
How often should I paint the exterior of my house?
There isn't one repainting schedule that applies to every home. Siding material, sun exposure, moisture, previous coatings, paint quality, and preparation all affect how long an exterior paint job lasts.
Signs that it may be time to repaint include fading, peeling, cracking, exposed substrate, deteriorating caulk, or areas where the existing coating is beginning to fail.
When is the best time to paint a house exterior in Spokane or North Idaho?
Exterior painting depends on appropriate weather and surface conditions rather than simply a particular month.
Temperature, moisture, overnight conditions, surface temperature, and the manufacturer's requirements for the coating all matter. We schedule exterior projects around conditions that allow the products to perform properly.
Do you pressure wash before exterior painting?
When cleaning is required as part of the preparation process, the surface needs adequate time to dry before coating. The exact preparation depends on the home, surface, weather, and existing condition.
Do you apply one coat or two?
Sawyer's Painting applies two full coats as part of our exterior painting process.
What type of exterior paint do you use?
We use premium Sherwin-Williams products and select coatings based on the surface and requirements of the individual project.
Can you paint over peeling paint?
Loose and failing coatings need to be appropriately addressed before applying new paint. Simply painting over a failing surface does not solve the underlying adhesion problem.
Do I need to be home while you're painting?
Usually not. We'll communicate with you about access, scheduling, pets, gates, windows, doors, and other details before your project begins.
How long does exterior house painting take?
Project length depends on the size and architecture of the home, preparation requirements, number of colors, accessibility, weather, and scope of work. We'll discuss the expected schedule before your project begins.
How much does exterior house painting cost?
Exterior painting costs vary considerably based on the size of the home, surface condition, preparation requirements, accessibility, siding material, number of colors, and scope.
The best way to determine the cost of your project is to have us evaluate your home and provide a detailed estimate.
