Surface Preparation & Exterior Painting

After completing the crown and trim carpentry, we prepared all exterior wood surfaces for paint. This included scraping, sanding, caulking, and spot priming bare wood. To ensure maximum protection and color retention, the trim and crown molding were coated with two finish coats of Sherwin-Williams Duration a trusted choice for exterior painting projects in St. Louis County.

The refreshed crown molding and trim now highlight the arched entryway with crisp lines and a flawless curve. By combining precision carpentry with professional exterior painting, we restored this home’s unique architectural detail and ensured it will remain both beautiful and protected for years to come.

FAQs

How did you create the curved arch without steam-bending?

We built the radius from short eight-inch wood segments, each beveled by one degree. This method allowed the outside face to close tightly and form a smooth arc.

Will the trim joints show after painting?

No. Joints are glued, fastened, sanded flush, and sealed. With primer and two finish coats, the curve looks like one continuous piece.

What paint system do you use on exterior trim?

We spot-prime bare wood, then apply two coats of Sherwin-Williams Duration® for superior durability and color retention.
