Exterior Painting in Cochrane
Siding, stucco, trim, decks, and doors prepped for the Alberta chinook — power-washed, scraped to sound material, primed bare, and finished in a coating built to hold against UV and freeze-thaw.
What you get
- Full wash: pressure-washed to strip chalking, dirt, and loose coating so the new film bonds to sound material, not to failure.
- Scrape, sand, and spot-prime every bare and glossy area; caulk failed joints at trim, corners, and penetrations to keep water out.
- Bare wood and metal primed with the right primer for the surface, then finished in a warrantied 100% acrylic or elastomeric exterior coat.
- Windows, roofing, walks, and plants masked and protected; a final walk-through with the written workmanship warranty on the invoice.
Material, method, measurement
- Material: 100% acrylic and elastomeric exterior lines rated for Alberta UV and freeze-thaw — flexible enough to move with the substrate instead of cracking off it in the first chinook.
- Method: Wash, scrape, caulk, prime, then finish — brushed and back-rolled or sprayed and back-rolled so the coat is worked into the surface, not just laid on top of it.
- Measurement: We watch the forecast and the dew point: coating goes on within the manufacturer's temperature and moisture window so it cures instead of failing early.
Exterior work carries the written workmanship warranty — up to 8 years, on the invoice.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to paint a house exterior in Cochrane?
Exterior repaints in Cochrane generally start around $3,800 and scale with siding type, home size, prep, and access. Stucco, cedar, and multi-storey homes with heavy scraping sit higher. You get a written range within 24 hours from photos, before any commitment.
What is the best time of year to paint an exterior in Alberta?
Late spring through early fall — roughly May to September — when temperatures and overnight dew points stay inside the coating's cure window. We schedule around rain and cold snaps so the paint bonds and cures properly rather than flashing or peeling early.
How long will an exterior paint job last?
A properly prepped exterior in Cochrane's climate typically holds 8–12 years before it needs attention, and our exterior workmanship warranty runs up to 8 years in writing. The prep — washing, scraping, and priming bare spots — is what decides whether it lasts or peels in two.
