Quality Interior & Exterior Painting in McKeesport

Full repaints are the common request, but the whole range is available. We do interior painting, exterior painting, commercial painting, cabinet painting, wallpaper removal, and drywall repair including popcorn ceiling removal. View all of our services.

More than the painting does, usually. Wood siding from the mill era typically carries several coats already, and some of them have let go underneath a top layer that still looks sound. That has to be scraped back to something solid, spot primed, and caulked before a finish coat is worth applying. Skipping it is why paint fails early here.

Often, and it usually saves money to combine them. The crew is already set up, the prep equipment is already there, and scheduling one visit rather than two removes a good deal of overhead. It also means one point of contact for the whole job rather than two separate quotes to reconcile.

Carefully, and with the expectation that some of it is coming off. Layers built up over a century do not fail evenly, so the sound sections stay and the loose ones are scraped back and feathered so the edge does not telegraph through. Houses built before 1978 also get lead-safe handling as a matter of course.

It does. Humidity settles into the low ground along the rivers, so surfaces take longer to dry and wood stays damp after rain longer than on higher ground. That extends the schedule on an exterior job and makes washing and full drying before priming genuinely important rather than a formality. Rushing that step is what causes early peeling here.
