Exterior Painting in Upper Nazareth, PA
Family-owned since 1991. Licensed, insured, and based in Nazareth.
Rural exposure is what makes Upper Nazareth exteriors hard. A farmhouse on an open lot with no windbreak takes weather from every direction, and the west elevation will often be a completely different job from the east one on the same building. We price the elevations rather than the house. Outbuildings, barns and porches usually need more preparation than the house does.
Upper Nazareth Township's rural character, farmhouses, older properties on large lots, and a growing number of newer homes, makes it an area where experience matters. As a Nazareth-based contractor, we are just minutes away and schedule Upper Nazareth jobs quickly.
We have painted farmhouses, historic outbuildings, newer suburban homes, and everything in between in Upper Nazareth Township. Rural properties often have unique challenges: weathered wood, older siding, and surfaces that need more prep. We take the time to do it right.
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 have an older farmhouse and two outbuildings that needed full exterior painting. Anthony's crew power-washed everything, did proper prep on the weathered wood, and painted all three buildings. They were out here for three days and did excellent work at a fair price.”
Questions from Upper Nazareth 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 Upper Nazareth?
Yes. We cover Upper Nazareth and the surrounding communities including Nazareth Borough, Bath, Moore Township, Chapman, Bushkill Township. We have worked across Northampton County since 1991.
