Painting in Richmond

Exterior paint in Richmond fights humidity more than heat. Mildew shows up first on shaded siding and porch ceilings, so most repaints here start with a wash-down and a topcoat with good mildew resistance. The older brick neighborhoods bring their own work: wood trim, porch columns, and original windows that need careful prep and primer rather than a fast spray job. If you are getting quotes, ask how the crew handles moisture readings on wood and what primer they use on weathered trim.
