Exterior Painting in Forks Township, PA
Family-owned since 1991. Licensed, insured, and based in Nazareth.
Forks is reaching the age where the first wave of subdivisions is due. A builder exterior lasts a long time and then goes all at once, usually starting on the south and west elevations and around the trim. Catching it at that point is a repaint. Leaving it another two winters turns it into repair work first, which is the difference that shows up in the estimate.
Forks Township has grown significantly over the past two decades, with many newer subdivisions now established alongside older residential areas. Anthony's Painting serves Forks Township homeowners with full interior and exterior painting services, tailored to both new construction and older properties.
If you are in a newer Forks Township home, we can help you update builder-grade paint colors with higher-quality finishes that add real value. For older properties, we specialize in proper surface preparation to ensure paint that lasts, not just looks good on day one.
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.
“We moved into our Forks Township home and wanted to repaint everything before bringing in our furniture. Anthony's team did the whole house in four days. Every room looks great, edges are clean, and they were respectful of the new floors throughout.”
Questions from Forks Township 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 Forks Township?
Yes. We cover Forks Township and the surrounding communities including Easton, Palmer Township, Bethlehem Township, Stockertown, Tatamy. We have worked across Northampton County since 1991.
