Expert Exterior House Painting in Phoenix

Protect Your Home with Professional Exterior Painting

Your home’s exterior faces some of the harshest conditions anywhere - intense Arizona sun, monsoon rains, dust storms, and extreme temperature swings. Professional exterior painting isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about protecting your biggest investment.

John Claude Painting has been painting Phoenix-area homes for over 20 years. We understand what Arizona exteriors need to look great and last long. Wondering when to schedule? Learn about the best time of year for exterior painting in Phoenix.

Arizona’s Climate Demands Specialized Exterior Paint

Standard exterior paints simply don’t cut it in Phoenix. We use premium paints specifically formulated for desert conditions:

UV Protection Phoenix receives over 300 sunny days per year. Our paints contain UV-blocking pigments that resist fading, even on south-facing walls that take the worst sun exposure.

Heat Tolerance Exterior surfaces can reach 150°F+ in summer. Our paints are formulated to remain flexible at high temperatures, preventing the cracking and peeling common with lesser products.

Moisture Resistance When monsoon season hits, your exterior needs to shed water effectively. Our moisture-resistant finishes prevent water infiltration that can damage stucco and cause paint failure.

Comprehensive Stucco Repair Included

Most Phoenix homes feature stucco exteriors, and years of expansion and contraction create cracks. Our exterior painting service includes complete stucco repair:

• Hairline crack filling with elastomeric caulk
• Spider crack repair with proper patching compound
• Chip and hole repair
• Missing stucco replacement
• Surface leveling and smoothing

We don’t just paint over problems - we fix them first.

Our Exterior Painting Process

Step 1: Thorough Inspection

We examine every inch of your exterior - walls, trim, fascia, soffits, eaves, and more. We document all repairs needed and measure accurately for material estimates.

Step 2: Complete Power Washing

Proper adhesion requires a clean surface. We power wash your entire exterior to remove:

• Dirt and dust buildup
• Loose or peeling paint
• Mildew or algae growth
• Cobwebs and debris

Step 3: Protection

Before any painting begins, we carefully protect:

• Windows and doors
• Landscaping and plants
• Concrete and pavers
• Outdoor furniture and fixtures
• Lighting and fixtures

Step 4: Repair & Preparation

This is where our prep-heavy approach really shows. We:

• Repair all stucco damage
• Caulk gaps around windows and doors
• Scrape and sand any remaining loose paint
• Prime bare spots and repairs
• Apply spot primer to stained areas

Step 5: Paint Application

Using airless spray equipment for walls and brushes for detail work, we apply:

• Premium primer (where needed)
• Two full coats of premium exterior paint
• Careful trim, fascia, and soffit painting

Step 6: Trenching (Often Overlooked)

We paint below the soil line where stucco meets the ground. This critical step, called trenching, prevents moisture wicking and paint failure at the base of your walls.

Step 7: Final Inspection

We walk the entire property with you, checking every detail under different lighting conditions.

HOA-Experienced Painters

Many Phoenix-area communities have HOA color restrictions. We’re experienced with HOA requirements and can help:

• Select colors from approved community palettes
• Provide paint color samples for HOA review
• Submit documentation for architectural approval
• Make adjustments if needed to meet guidelines

Don’t risk HOA violations - work with painters who understand the process.
