At JP’s Custom Painting, we know a professional paint job is about more than just a color change—it’s about protecting and elevating the look and longevity of your home. With over 30 years of experience serving Bend, OR, and the surrounding areas, we specialize in high-quality residential exterior painting that withstands Oregon’s climate and boosts your property’s value.
If you’re planning to repaint your home’s exterior, understanding the process will help you feel confident and prepared every step of the way. Here’s what you can expect when working with JP’s Custom Painting and how you can get your property ready for the transformation.
Why a Professional Paint Job Matters More Than You Think
A fresh coat of exterior paint does more than enhance curb appeal—it forms a critical part of your home’s protective shell. In a high-variation climate like Bend’s—where freezing winters meet hot, dry summers—your home’s exterior takes a daily beating from sun, wind, rain, and snow. Over time, that exposure can cause paint to crack, fade, or peel, leaving surfaces vulnerable to moisture, pests, and mold.
At JP’s Custom Painting, we use top-tier materials designed to resist UV damage, prevent moisture intrusion, and handle the natural expansion and contraction of your siding throughout the seasons. Our team has the training and experience to ensure that every coat of paint not only looks great but performs exceptionally—year after year.
And the benefits don’t stop at protection. A professionally painted property holds its color longer, resists damage better, and boosts resale value. Whether you plan to stay for decades or sell soon, quality painting is one of the smartest investments you can make.
How Often Should You Repaint Your Home’s Exterior?
In general, most homes in the Pacific Northwest need repainting every 7 to 10 years, depending on materials, sun exposure, and the quality of the previous job. However, if your siding is older or if it wasn’t properly prepared last time, you might notice signs of deterioration sooner.
Common indicators it’s time to repaint include:
- Fading or chalky paint
- Cracks or bubbling in the surface
- Peeling or flaking areas
- Exposed wood or other bare surfaces
- Mold or mildew stains that don’t wash off
Staying ahead of these issues with proactive painting can prevent much larger—and costlier—repairs down the line. If you’re unsure whether it’s time, our team is happy to provide an honest, no-obligation inspection.
What’s Included in a Professional Exterior House Painting Service
Hiring JP’s Custom Painting means more than hiring painters—you’re getting a dedicated partner focused on craftsmanship, communication, and customer satisfaction. Every project we take on includes a complete, step-by-step process to ensure your property looks its best and stays protected.
1. Consultation and Estimate
We begin with a thorough walkaround of your property to assess the surface conditions and understand your goals. From paint color to siding type and repair needs, we cover every detail. You’ll receive a transparent, itemized estimate so you know exactly what to expect.
2. Detailed Surface Preparation
This is the most critical step in achieving long-lasting results. We start by power washing your exterior to remove dirt, mildew, and debris. Next, we scrape any peeling paint, sand rough areas, caulk gaps, and perform minor repairs. This careful prep work creates the perfect surface for paint to bond securely.
3. Priming and Painting
If needed, we apply primer specific to your home’s material—wood, stucco, or composite. Then, using top-quality exterior paints and advanced application techniques (including brushes, rollers, and sprayers), we deliver a smooth, even finish built for durability. Our painters are trained to work efficiently and cleanly, minimizing disruption while maximizing quality.
4. Final Walkthrough and Touch-Ups
Once painting is complete, we do a detailed inspection with you to ensure everything looks flawless. We’ll take care of any final touch-ups and provide guidance on how to maintain the new finish. And of course, we leave your property as clean as we found it—if not cleaner.
How to Prepare Your Home for Exterior Painting
While we handle the heavy lifting, there are a few simple things homeowners can do to help the project go smoothly:
- Clear the Area: Move outdoor furniture, decorations, planters, and grills at least a few feet away from the house.
- Trim Landscaping: Prune back shrubs, trees, and vines to give our crew clear access to all painted surfaces.
- Secure Pets: Keep pets indoors or in a safe area to avoid accidents or distractions.
- Let Us Know Your Needs: If there are any areas of concern, special instructions, or accessibility notes, please communicate them in advance. We’re here to make the process easy and stress-free.
Choosing the Right Products for Lasting Results
The quality of the paint you choose matters—especially in a climate like Bend’s. That’s why we work with trusted brands known for fade resistance, mildew protection, and flexibility to handle seasonal temperature changes.
We help you choose not only the right product, but also the right finish:
- Flat finishes offer a modern, matte look but require more maintenance.
- Satin finishes provide a soft sheen and easy cleanability—great for most siding.
- Semi-gloss finishes are ideal for trim, doors, and other accents that need extra durability.
Each choice impacts how your home looks and performs over time. We’ll walk you through the pros and cons so you can make informed decisions that suit your vision and budget.
Picking the Right Color for Your Home
Color is powerful—it influences how your home feels, how it fits into the neighborhood, and even how warm or cool it stays in direct sun. That’s why we offer custom color consultations with every exterior paint project. We consider factors like:
- Architectural style
- Landscape surroundings
- Roof and trim color
- HOA regulations
- Sunlight and shade patterns
To ensure confidence, we recommend sampling a few paint swatches directly on your siding. Colors often look different outside than they do in-store or online. We’ll help you test them in different lighting conditions before committing to the perfect shade.
What to Expect While the Work Is Underway
Every project is different, but most standard residential exterior painting jobs take 3 to 5 days to complete. Larger homes or buildings with complex details may take a bit longer, especially if weather conditions interrupt the schedule.
Here’s what you can expect during the process:
- Daily communication from our team
- Respectful crew members who protect non-painted areas
- Safe, clean work practices from start to finish
- Masking of doors, windows, light fixtures, and more
- Flexibility to accommodate weather delays if needed
We treat your home like it’s our own and aim to keep you informed and comfortable throughout the job.
Final Touches and Long-Term Maintenance
Our work isn’t finished until you’re fully satisfied. Once the paint has cured, we walk through everything with you to ensure nothing has been missed. We also provide long-term care tips, such as:
- Gently washing the exterior once a year
- Keeping bushes trimmed to allow airflow
- Watching for early signs of wear or water damage
If your home has specific needs—like shady areas prone to mildew or sun-blasted walls that fade quickly—we’ll give you tailored advice to keep it looking fresh for years to come.
