Exterior painting Lenoir City TN is the envelope of the house: siding and trim in one scope, plus fascia and soffit when they are part of that repaint. Sun fades the exposed wall. Humidity slows the dry time on a shaded wall and on any wall we just washed. We wait for a dry surface. That is the scheduling line. The work itself is wash, scrape, caulk, prime, and finish.
Brick accents are included only when that brick is sound and you asked for it. Not every brick wall on the property joins the scope because the siding is being painted.
What exterior painting Lenoir City TN includes
We walk the sides and write:
- Siding condition. Loose paint is scraped. Chalk is washed. Bare wood and bare fiber-cement spots are primed. Vinyl, if coated, takes a vinyl-safe product.
- Trim at windows, doors, and corners. Open gaps get caulk. Soft wood is called out.
- Fascia and soffit. Wood is primed where it is bare. Metal wrap is identified as metal.
- Doors and shutters if they are in the color plan, with sanding listed.
- A brick accent only after a moisture look. A full masonry finish belongs on brick painting in Lenoir City.
Sherwin-Williams is the brand on the estimate. Body sheen and trim sheen are both named. Trim usually takes the harder sheen so sills and casings can be cleaned. Two finish coats over primer is the normal plan when the color changes. Same-color work still primes every scraped spot.

How the days are ordered
Wash day and paint day are not always the same day. A shaded wall may still be damp the next morning. We do not finish-coat dew. Caulk goes on dry, sound joints. Primer goes on the bare spots before the finish hides them. If you walk the job, you should be able to tell the scraped wood was primed.
Access is part of the note: gates, slopes, and plants against the wall. We mask windows, lights, and hardware. Gutters that overflow and stripe the fascia are mentioned, because paint will not fix the stripe’s cause.
The written estimate
The estimate is free and written. It lists elevations, primer, caulk, fascia, soffit, and any brick accent that passed the moisture look. No price is on this page. No street address is required. The work carries a 3-year written warranty.

We start on the elevation that is dry and in the right light. The crew does not open every can for every side at once. Color is confirmed against the chip on the house, not against a photo taken under a porch bulb. At the end we walk the elevations with you and mark touch-ups while the setup is still on site. A missed edge at a gutter bracket is easier to fix that afternoon than after the ladders are gone.
How the elevations are written
Each side of the house gets a note: what the siding is, what is loose, what is chalked, and whether the eave is wood or wrapped metal. Sun on one side and shade on the other changes dry time after the wash. It does not change the order. Wash, dry, scrape, caulk, prime, finish. A shaded wall that is still damp in the morning waits, even if the sunny wall was ready yesterday.
Brick stays out unless that specific brick is dry, sound, and written in. Doors and shutters stay out unless you asked for them. Fascia and soffit stay in when they are part of the repaint you described, and the estimate says so either way. Bare wood gets primer you can see before the color hides it. Open window joints get caulk. Tight joints do not get a bead for show.
We mask glass, lights, and hardware. We mention a gutter that is striping the wall, because a new coat will not stop the stripe. Access, including a slope or a locked gate, is on the note so the crew brings what the wall actually needs. At the end we walk the elevations with you and mark touch-ups while we can still reach them. Sherwin-Williams names and sheens are what you approved, body and trim separate. The warranty line is 3-year written, and it matches the elevations on that page, not a wall we never scoped.
Exterior painting Lenoir City TN written by elevation
Exterior painting Lenoir City TN is the outside of the house: siding, trim, fascia, and soffit, in that order of attention. Wash, scrape, caulk, prime bare wood, then finish. We start with the wall: what is loose, what is chalked, and what still needs a wash. Older trim downtown may have more layers and more open joints. Newer siding may need a wash and a caulk more than a scrape. The estimate follows the elevation in front of us.
Each side is written so a sunny wall with failed caulk is not averaged with a shaded wall that is mostly dirty. If we find rot after the wash, we tell you before we paint up to it. Landscaping is protected. Windows and outlets are covered for the wash and the paint.
The free estimate is the walkthrough. You get a written scope, not a sentence that says two coats. Warranty on work we paint is 3-year written. Sherwin-Williams is the brand we name when a product is specified.
