PROFESSIONAL EXTERIOR PAINTING
IN THE DMV AREA

Exterior paint in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia region faces punishment that most homeowners underestimate. Summer humidity sits above 80% for weeks at a time, UV intensity fades pigments fast, and winter freeze-thaw cycles cause wood to expand and contract in ways that crack and peel paint that wasn't applied correctly. Colonials in Bethesda, ramblers in Silver Spring, brick fronts in Capitol Hill, fiber cement in Arlington — every surface type has its own demands, and we know them all.

At 5 Star Pros, we don't cut corners on prep. Every exterior job starts with a power wash to strip dirt, mildew, and chalk. Then we scrape every flaking surface by hand, sand rough edges smooth, fill cracks and wood rot with exterior-grade filler, and apply a premium oil-based or acrylic primer before a single drop of finish coat goes on. Skipping any of these steps is what causes paint to fail in two years — we've re-done enough of those jobs to know exactly what shortcuts look like.

We use Sherwin-Williams Duration and Emerald Exterior — both 100% acrylic formulas with built-in flexibility to handle temperature swings and resist mold and mildew. Every job gets two full coats. Trim, shutters, doors, soffits, and fascia boards are all included in our scope. We protect your landscaping, driveways, and windows throughout the job, and leave the property clean when we're done. Free estimates, licensed, fully insured.
