Exterior Painting in Bloomington, MN
Bloomington ramblers and split-levels often pair a brick front with wood, hardboard or cedar shake siding, and each material ages differently. We wash, repair and prime surface by surface, protect your gardens and lawn, and finish with coatings chosen for open sun and shaded backyards.
Bloomington Exterior Painting, Surface by Surface
Different materials, different prep plans
- Hardboard Edges Sealed: Some Bloomington homes carry hardboard lap siding, which holds up while sealed but swells once water reaches its edges. We inspect the bottom of each course and every board end, flag swollen pieces for replacement, seal joints and spot-prime exposed areas. A quality acrylic topcoat then helps keep moisture out through each snowmelt season.
- Garage Doors Brought Current: On a rambler, the garage door can take up a big share of the front view. We clean steel doors, sand any rust spots, prime bare metal and apply exterior enamel in a color chosen to sit well with the brick and siding. Wood doors get their panels and edges sealed so moisture stays out.
- Lawns and Beds Protected: Before scraping starts, we tie back shrubs, set drop cloths over foundation plantings, and cover patios, AC units and walkways. Chips are picked up as we go rather than left for the mower. When we pack up each evening, beds get uncovered so plants get light, and your yard looks the way it did that morning.
Why Bloomington Homes Benefit From Our Exterior Painting
Sunny fronts, shaded backs, cedar accents
- Open Sun on Ramblers: Neighborhoods built in the decades after World War II across eastern Bloomington tend to have broad, open front yards. South and west walls take steady sun, so paint there chalks and fades faster. We wash away chalk until the surface is clean, choose fade-resistant topcoats, and follow the shade around the house on hot days.
- Nine Mile Creek Shade: Homes backing onto Nine Mile Creek and the wooded parkland along it spend much of the day in shade. North walls and soffits there grow mildew and stay damp after storms. We treat growth with a mildew cleaner, rinse and allow full drying time, then apply mildew-resistant coatings to elevations that rarely see direct sun.
- Cedar Shakes and Accents: Plenty of Bloomington split-levels have cedar shake panels, board-and-batten accents or vertical cedar on the upper level. Cedar bleeds tannins that stain light paint, so we use a stain-blocking primer on bare and weathered spots. If you like the wood look, we also talk through solid stain as an alternative to paint.
