Exterior Painting Solutions
Protect and beautify your home's exterior with weather-resistant finishes that stand up to Southern Maryland's climate
Protection Meets Curb Appeal
Your home's exterior is its first line of defense against the elements — and its first impression on visitors and neighbors. At Faulkner's Painting & Paper, we understand that exterior painting is both an art and a science. The right finish doesn't just look beautiful; it protects your investment for years to come.
Southern Maryland's climate presents unique challenges: humid summers, freeze-thaw cycles, coastal salt air in some areas, and plenty of sun. We use premium, weather-resistant paints and proven techniques that stand up to it all.
Whether your siding needs a refresh, your trim has seen better days, or you want to transform your home's look entirely, our experienced team delivers professional results that protect and impress.

Our Exterior Process
Exterior painting requires careful attention to weather conditions and proper preparation. Here's how we ensure lasting results:
1. Assessment & Planning
We evaluate your exterior surfaces, identify problem areas, and recommend the best products for your specific siding type and exposure.
2. Pressure Washing
We thoroughly clean all surfaces to remove dirt, chalky residue, mildew, and loose paint. This critical step ensures proper paint adhesion.
3. Surface Repair
We replace damaged siding, repair wood rot, fill gaps, and sand smooth all surfaces before painting begins.
4. Priming
We apply appropriate primer to bare wood, problem areas, and chalky surfaces to ensure excellent paint bond and coverage.
5. Painting
We apply premium exterior paint using spray, brush, and roll techniques tailored to each surface for complete coverage.
6. Final Inspection
We walk the project with you, touch up any areas, and ensure every detail meets our quality standards.
