Excellence Starts with Preparation
Every great exterior paint job begins beneath the surface. At Middlesex Paint & Restoration, we believe prep work is the foundation of a lasting, high-quality finish. That’s why we take the time to properly clean, repair, and prepare every part of your home’s exterior—from siding and trim to foundation and fascia.
Our comprehensive surface preparation methods may include:
-
Soft-tip pressure washing
-
Sodium carbonate bleaching
-
Paint shaving and chemical stripping
-
Dustless sanding or sandblasting
-
Epoxy-based repairs and consolidants
-
Application of detergents and mildew-resistant treatments
These essential steps ensure the surface is fully clean, sound, and ready to bond with primers, caulks, and finish paints—maximizing adhesion and durability.
Carpentry & Repairs Done Right
Before the first coat goes on, our skilled carpenters assess and repair any compromised wood or siding. We address dry rot, general decay, and damage to shingles, clapboards, window trim, door frames, and more. All seams and joints are sealed using top-grade elastomeric caulks, designed to flex with your home and keep moisture out. These careful repairs protect your home from the elements and lay the groundwork for a beautiful, long-lasting paint job.
Selecting the Best Primers To Guarantee Adhesion & Save Time & Money
We don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to primers and coatings. Every surface is unique—and we select primers specifically formulated for each substrate to ensure optimal bonding and finish. Depending on the needs of your project, we may use:
-
Bonding primers
-
Alkyd primers
-
Waterborne or latex primers
Each option is chosen with longevity, coverage, and performance in mind.
Premium Paints For Long Lasting Results
For topcoat finishes, we work exclusively with trusted brands known for their exceptional quality and weather resistance—Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, PPG, Cabot, and C2 Paints & Stains. These products offer superior color retention, UV resistance, and protection against harsh New England weather.
To ensure a smooth, strong bond, we frequently sand between coats—giving each layer the perfect surface for adhesion and ensuring an even, durable finish.
