Our Exterior Painting Process
We only use the best materials when painting your home’s exterior, but quality paint alone won’t guarantee results. When it comes to our exterior painters, preparation is everything. Here’s what you can expect from us:
- Scrape and sand down old paint and/or glossy surfaces to ensure a smooth, even canvas
- Wash or pressure wash any dirty, chalky, or mildewed areas
- Apply a layer of primer to all surfaces
- Caulk windows and door frames
- Remove or mask hardware to protect it from paint
- Cover landscape plants with a sheet of plastic
- Clean up after ourselves when we’re finished

Exterior Home Painters
There’s always an element of unpredictability with outdoor work, but exterior painting in Toronto poses additional, unique challenges. With snow one day and sun the next, and plenty of humidity no matter the time of year, scheduling your exterior painting project can feel pretty daunting. Fortunately, our Toronto painters have extensive experience working around this city’s shifting weather patterns and are always happy to offer their expertise when planning your project.
Here are some important things to know:
1. Spring is the best time of year to book our exterior painters since temperatures are usually mild. However, we can paint on any dry day above 10°C/50°F.
2. Weather impacts more than just working conditions. Because wood is highly absorbent, if you’re painting exterior wood such as decks or fences, you need at least two dry days before you start painting and one after to ensure proper adhesion.
3. Exterior painting in the summer is possible, but not always ideal, since high heat and humidity can lead to paint blistering.
We will, of course, discuss all of this with you when planning your project, which could span all types of exterior work, including:
- Bare wood, composite, aluminum and vinyl siding
- Metal eaves, downspouts, and fascia
- Painted surfaces with failing layers
- Fascia and soffits (at any height)
- Porous substrate like brick, stone and concrete
- Windows and doors (entry and garage)
- Wooden decks and railings
- Metal railings and gates
- Stucco siding

How much does exterior painting cost?
To help find out how much exterior painting will cost, we offer free, no-obligation virtual estimates. We pride ourselves on our transparency and will give you all the details upfront so you can make an informed decision.
What is the most popular exterior colour?
The most popular exterior colour can vary based on trends, regions, and personal preferences, but neutral tones like white, gray, and beige remain strong favourites for their timeless and clean look. For a bolder choice, navy blue and deep charcoal are trending choices we have seen lately. In the GTA, soft earth tones and warm whites are often chosen to complement the natural surroundings and architectural styles. Encore Painting can help guide you toward a colour that suits your home, style, and neighbourhood perfectly!
What is the best type of paint for exterior surfaces?
Generally speaking, the best paint for exterior surfaces is acrylic latex paint. It is extremely durable, flexible, and weather-tight. It is also water-based; clean-up is easier and kinder to the environment. Oil-based paints, though popular in their time, tend to crack and fade sooner.
How long does exterior paint last?
The lifespan of exterior paint depends on factors such as the type of paint, surface material, and climate. Generally, high-quality paint can last anywhere between 5 to 10 years. Wood surfaces may require repainting every 5 to 7 years, while brick and stucco can last 10 or more years.
What is the best time of year to paint the exterior of my home?
The best time to paint an exterior is during mild weather conditions, typically in spring or fall. Ideal temperatures range from 50°F to 85°F (10°C to 29°C), with low humidity. Painting in extreme temperatures (too hot or too cold) can lead to uneven drying and cracking.
Can I paint over old paint?
You can paint over old paint if it’s in good condition (not peeling or cracking). If the old paint is peeling, chipping, or flaking, it must be scraped and sanded down before applying new paint. Any damaged or rotten wood should be repaired or replaced before painting.
