Residential Exterior Painting Project Overview in Dayton, OR
A homeowner in Dayton, OR called us to refresh the outside of their house. The siding had picked up algae and mildew, which is common on shaded walls in the Willamette Valley, and one section of siding at the top of the front gable needed to be replaced before it could be painted.
We handled the whole job start to finish: cleaning, minor siding repair, and two coats of Sherwin-Williams A100 satin on the siding and soffits, with the fascias brushed by hand.

- Service: Residential exterior repaint, siding, soffits, and fascias
- Crew: 3 painters, led by crew leader Sergio Zepada
- Duration: About 2 working days

Challenges Faced

- A piece of siding at the top of the front gable was in bad shape and had to be replaced before we could paint that wall.
Our Residential Exterior Painting Process in Dayton, OR
- Applied an algae and mildew cleaning solution where needed, then pressure washed the areas to be painted.
- Replaced the damaged piece of siding at the top of the front gable.
- Masked off the windows, roof, and anything else that needed to be protected.
- Sprayed two coats of Sherwin-Williams A100 satin onto the siding and soffits.
- Brushed the same A100 satin onto the fascias by hand for a clean, controlled edge.
Final Results
The house came out with an even satin finish across the siding, soffits, and trim, and the repaired gable section blends right in with the rest of the wall. With the mildew cleaned off and two fresh coats down, the exterior is set up to hold up well against Willamette Valley weather.
