Smith & Company Painting completed an exterior house painting project in Amity, OR, washing, prepping, and repainting a weathered home’s siding and trim with Rodda Ultimate 2. A five-person crew brought back a clean, protected finish over about two to three working days.
Bare Wood and Peeling Paint: An Amity, OR Exterior House Painting Job
Project Overview
This was an exterior house painting job in Amity, OR, a small town in Yamhill County just south of McMinnville. The home’s siding and trim had reached the point where paint was peeling and bare wood was showing through in spots, so it needed a real wash and prep before any new paint went on, not just a quick recoat.
Our crew cleaned the exterior, handled the prep, and brushed on a fresh coat of Rodda Ultimate 2, one of Rodda’s longest-lasting exterior paints. The result is a clean, sealed exterior built to hold up to Oregon weather.

Why This Exterior House Painting Project Mattered
Once bare wood is showing on an exterior, the clock is running. Unsealed wood soaks up moisture, and in the Willamette Valley that means it keeps failing faster every season. Priming the bare spots and getting a good coat back on protects the actual siding, not just the look of the house.
Challenges Faced
The main work here was prep, not the painting itself. Peeling paint had to be scraped back, bad caulking had to come out and be replaced, and every bare wood spot needed primer before a drop of finish paint went on. On a weathered exterior like this one, that prep is most of the job, and skipping it is how a repaint fails early.
Our Exterior House Painting Process
- Applied an algae and mildew cleaning solution where it was needed.
- Pressure washed the full exterior.
- Removed and replaced any bad caulking, and scraped all peeling paint.
- Primed the bare wood.
- Masked and protected the windows, roof, and everything else not getting painted.
- Brushed one good coat of Rodda Ultimate 2 onto the siding, starting on the south and west sides, then brushed one coat on the trim.
Final Results
The home came out clean, sealed, and even, with the bare wood covered and the trim sharp against the siding. Brushing the paint on gave good coverage and worked it into the surface, and the Rodda Ultimate 2 gives the homeowner one of the longer-lasting exterior finishes on the market.
