We know what it’s like to live in Kittitas Valley. With one of the most difficult climates in North America, your paint and primer on the exterior of your home needs to last all year round. Tackling all four seasons has the potential to lead to wear and tear, which is why choosing the best product for the job, climate, and season is extremely important.
Picking the right paint for your upcoming renovation is a big task. In order to help you make the best decision, we have a knowledgeable staff that is readily available. They can assist you in picking the right products, colors, and finishes that will suit the exterior of your home.
Paint comes in a variety of finishes, and is usually latex-based. Latex paint is the most commonly used paint type. It is more durable than oil-based paint and is easier to clean. Latex paint is more fade-resistant and breathes easier as well. This type of paint should be used for your home’s exterior, most of the walls in your home and any other household surfaces that need to be painted. Using a primer allows the paint to dry properly. It can create a smooth and consistent layer for the paint to be spread over. A surface without primer could have brush marks, or flake off sooner than normal.
Preparation for painting is also necessary. Prep ensures that the area you’re painting is clear of any dirt or grime. Materials like brick, or any other type of masonry, can easily attract dirt to the mortar, which is why it’s essential to prepare the wall you are painting beforehand.

If you’re planning to do a little repainting, then it’s important to find an exterior paint that will have color retention. This means that the color of the paint will be able to last for a longer period of time without fading.
There are certain colors that you should avoid when painting your exterior walls. Most vibrant colors should be used for the inside of your home over the outside, but it’s especially important to avoid reds. Reds tend to fade far quicker than any other color because of the level of pigment in them. Gray, black, and whites are the most common exterior and interior colors since they are more likely to match with other design elements.
