Exterior Painting in Fayetteville, NC

Every hard rain in Fayetteville throws red clay up onto the bottom of the siding, the porch skirting and the lower courses of brick, and if it sits there through the next few storms it stains into the paint instead of washing off with a hose. Paint 3cero washes that off and primes over it before any exterior color goes on, whether it's a brick foundation line in Haymount or the bottom of the siding on a house off Cliffdale Road — skipping that step is the difference between paint that holds and paint that's peeling again before long.

Shade causes its own problem. The mature trees that make Haymount's older streets pleasant also keep the north side of those brick homes damp long after the sun clears the rest of the yard, and that's where mildew shows up first, dark streaks creeping up under the eaves and around window frames. Newer subdivisions toward Jack Britt don't have that tree cover yet, so their siding deals more with direct sun and heat than shade, which is its own kind of wear on vinyl and fiber-cement. Paint 3cero washes, primes and paints for whichever problem the house actually has, not a one-size treatment for every wall.
