Exterior Painting in Easton, PA
Family-owned since 1991. Licensed, insured, and based in Nazareth.
The row houses in the West Ward share party walls and sit tight to the pavement, so exterior work here is as much about access and containment as it is about paint. College Hill is the opposite problem: three storeys of Victorian detail, much of it wood, much of it needing real scraping. Both are priced off what we find at the walkthrough rather than a square-foot rate.
Easton is one of the most architecturally interesting cities in the Lehigh Valley, and that means painting it right requires real experience. Anthony's Painting has worked on row houses in the West Ward, historic homes on College Hill, and commercial buildings downtown. We know what Easton homes need.
Whether you are preparing a College Hill Victorian for resale, refreshing a rental property in the South Side, or repainting a storefront on Northampton Street, we bring the same care and attention to every project. Free estimates, no obligation. We cover all of Easton and the surrounding townships.
How We Handle Exterior Painting Here
Assess the surface, not just the house
Different siding fails differently. We look at what is peeling, what is chalking, where water is getting in, and price the prep off what we find rather than a per-square-foot guess.
Power wash
Dirt, chalk, mildew and loose material come off first. Paint will not bond to any of them, and this is the step most low bids shorten.
Scrape, sand, caulk, prime
Loose paint scraped back to a sound edge, rough areas sanded, gaps and joints caulked, bare wood and stains primed. On pre-1978 homes we follow lead-safe work practices.
Two finish coats
Applied in the right conditions. We do not paint in the rain, in the cold, or onto a surface that is still damp, even when it costs us a day.
Clean up and walk the property
Landscaping uncovered, debris removed, and a walk around the whole house with you before we leave.

Exterior projects vary with house size, siding type and how much prep is needed. A typical single-family home runs three to seven days. Weather can move that, and we would rather wait a day than paint onto a damp surface.
“My home on College Hill is over 100 years old with a lot of detailed woodwork. Anthony's crew was patient, thorough with prep, and the final result looks better than it has in decades. They also hauled away all the old peeling paint debris without being asked.”
Questions from Easton Homeowners
How long does exterior painting take?
Exterior projects vary based on house size, siding type, and prep work. A typical single-family home exterior takes three to seven days. We give you a specific timeline in your estimate.
What time of year is best for exterior painting?
Late spring through autumn. Temperature and humidity both have to be right for the paint to cure properly, and autumn in Pennsylvania is often the best window of the year. Spring and summer book fastest, so call early for warm-weather work.
Can you paint vinyl and aluminium siding?
Yes, both can be painted successfully with the right preparation and the right product. Vinyl in particular needs paint formulated to allow for expansion, and a colour no darker than the original unless the product is rated for it.
Do you cover all of Easton?
Yes. We cover Easton and the surrounding communities including Wilson Borough, Forks Township, Palmer Township, Glendon, West Easton. We have worked across Northampton County since 1991.
