Exterior Painting Services in Western NY and surrounding areas
A building’s exterior is the first thing people notice. Whether it is a residential rental property, a commercial storefront, or a multi-unit apartment complex, the condition of exterior paint plays a direct role in curb appeal, property value, and long-term structural protection. At 90 West Group, we provide professional exterior painting for landlords, property managers, and business owners who need dependable results that hold up against the demanding weather conditions found throughout Buffalo, NY. As a licensed and insured company founded in 2022 in Buffalo, New York by Sam DeFranks, we bring the same hands-on approach and quality craftsmanship to every exterior painting project that defines all of our work.
Why Exterior Painting Matters
Exterior paint does far more than improve the look of a building. A high-quality exterior paint job serves as a protective barrier against moisture infiltration, ultraviolet radiation, wind damage, and temperature fluctuations. In Western New York, where harsh winters, freeze-thaw cycles, and humid summers put constant stress on building surfaces, maintaining a sound exterior coating is essential. Paint failure can lead to wood rot, mold growth, and accelerated deterioration of siding, trim, and other structural elements.
According to industry research, a well-executed exterior paint job can increase a property’s market value by as much as five to ten percent. For landlords and property managers who work with us on apartment turnovers and general property improvements, exterior painting is one of the most cost-effective investments available. It refreshes the entire appearance of a building while extending the life of exterior materials by years. We believe in transparent communication with our clients about the scope of work involved so there are never surprises during or after the project.
Our Exterior Painting Process
We follow a thorough, multi-step process designed to ensure lasting results. Preparation is the most critical phase of any exterior painting project, and we dedicate significant time and attention to getting surfaces ready before a single coat of paint is applied. Skipping preparation steps is the most common reason exterior paint fails prematurely, and we never cut corners in this phase.
Our standard exterior painting process includes the following steps:
- Comprehensive surface inspection to identify peeling, cracking, mildew, wood damage, and areas requiring repair
- Power washing and cleaning to remove dirt, debris, chalking, and biological growth from all surfaces
- Scraping and sanding to remove loose or failing paint and create a smooth substrate for adhesion
- Carpentry repairs and patching to address rotted wood, damaged trim, and deteriorated caulking before painting begins
- Priming bare and repaired surfaces using high-quality bonding primers appropriate for the substrate material
- Application of finish coats using premium exterior paints rated for durability and weather resistance
Because we also offer carpentry services as part of our full range of capabilities, we can handle any wood replacement or structural repairs discovered during the preparation phase without needing to bring in outside contractors. This keeps projects on schedule and on budget while ensuring everything is done the right way.
Surface Types and Applications
We work on a wide range of exterior surfaces, and each material requires specific techniques and products to achieve long-lasting results. Wood clapboard and cedar siding need breathable paints that allow moisture to escape while blocking water penetration from outside. Vinyl and aluminum siding benefit from specialty paints formulated with flexible resins that expand and contract with temperature changes. Stucco, brick, and masonry surfaces require alkaline-resistant coatings and careful attention to surface preparation to prevent adhesion failure.
Common exterior painting applications we handle include:
- Full exterior repaints for single-family homes, duplexes, and multi-unit residential buildings
- Commercial building facades including storefronts, office buildings, and retail spaces
- Trim, fascia, and soffit painting to protect vulnerable areas prone to moisture damage
- Porch, deck, and railing coatings using products designed for foot traffic and heavy use
- Foundation and basement wall coatings with waterproofing properties
Choosing the Right Products
Paint technology has advanced significantly in recent years. Modern exterior coatings offer improved UV resistance, better color retention, and longer service life compared to products available even a decade ago. We stay current with these developments and select paints and primers based on the specific demands of each project. Acrylic latex formulations dominate the exterior market today because of their flexibility, breathability, and environmental profile, and we use them extensively alongside specialized alkyd and hybrid options when the situation calls for it.
