Refresh What the Weather Has Faded

Exterior painting services for homes across Central Texas.

Your home's exterior paint in Troy and the Central Texas area fades under constant sun exposure, peels after heavy rain, and chalks over time until it stops protecting the wood or siding underneath. Once the paint fails, moisture gets in, and the damage spreads quickly. Whitlow Roofing & Remodeling provides exterior painting that goes beyond appearance, preparing surfaces correctly so the finish lasts through multiple seasons of Texas weather.

This service covers professional exterior painting for homes of all sizes. The work includes surface preparation, primer application, and finish coats that protect siding and trim from sun, moisture, and temperature swings. You get clean work, attention to detail, and honest pricing without surprises. Every project is approached with the understanding that proper prep is what makes paint hold up, not just the brand on the can.

If your home's exterior is showing bare wood, peeling paint, or uneven fading, get in touch to schedule an estimate for painting work in Troy.

Why surface preparation determines how long paint lasts

When exterior painting begins in Troy, the crew pressure washes the entire surface to remove dirt, mildew, and loose paint. Any damaged wood is repaired or replaced, and gaps around windows and trim are caulked to seal out moisture. Surfaces are sanded smooth where needed, and primer is applied to bare wood or areas where old paint has peeled away completely.

After the painting is finished, you will notice the color looks uniform across all surfaces, with no streaks or thin spots. Water beads up and runs off instead of soaking in, and trim around windows and doors looks sharp and clean. The finish protects the materials underneath, which extends the life of your siding and reduces the need for frequent repainting.

High-quality exterior paint is used to withstand heat and UV exposure common in Central Texas. The crew takes care to protect landscaping, walkways, and windows during the work, and all overspray or drips are cleaned up before the job is considered complete. If only certain areas of your home need repainting, that can be done without redoing the entire exterior.

You may be wondering about a few things

Homeowners in Troy often have similar concerns before scheduling exterior painting, especially if the last paint job did not hold up as long as expected. These answers should help clarify what to expect from the process.

How long does exterior paint last in Texas?
Quality exterior paint properly applied can last seven to ten years in Troy, depending on sun exposure and maintenance. South-facing walls and trim usually fade faster and may need touch-ups sooner.
What is the most important part of exterior painting?
Surface preparation is what determines how long the paint lasts. Skipping steps like cleaning, sanding, and priming leads to early peeling and failure, no matter how good the paint is.
When is the best time to paint a home exterior?
Spring and fall are ideal in Troy because temperatures are moderate and humidity is lower. Painting during extreme heat or just before a rainstorm can affect how the paint cures and adheres.
How do I choose the right paint color?
Whitlow Roofing & Remodeling can provide color samples and guidance based on your home's style and surroundings. Lighter colors reflect heat better, which can help with cooling costs in Texas summers.
Why does paint peel on some homes but not others?
Paint peels when moisture gets trapped under the surface, usually due to poor prep, missing primer, or painting over damp wood. Proper sealing and surface prep prevent those issues and help paint adhere correctly.
