Exterior painting is more than a fresh coat of paint. The prep work, the coating selection, the attention to detail on trim and fascia, these are the things that separate a paint job that holds up for years from one that starts peeling and fading in months.
Mike Ross has been painting exteriors across Auburn, Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln and Grass Valley since 2006. In that time he has painted over 100 homes and knows exactly what Placer and Nevada County weather demands from an exterior coating. Hot summers, wet winters and intense UV exposure mean the wrong paint fails fast.
