Project Overview

We recently completed a detailed window repainting project for a 2,000 sq ft single-family home in Kenmore, NY. While the total surface area was relatively small, this job was all about precision, patience, and prep. And the results were worth it.

The Challenge: 20+ Years Without Maintenance

The windows on this home hadn’t been touched in over two decades, which meant our team had their work cut out for them. Before we could even begin painting, we dedicated a full day to:

  • Thorough scraping and sanding to remove decades of flaking paint
  • Detail caulking to seal cracks and gaps around the trim
  • Taping and masking to ensure clean lines with no overspray

Paint Application: Small Areas, Big Impact

Once prepped, we applied two coats of high-quality exterior paint to every window frame and trim section. Because of the intricate nature of window work, this process required:

  • Steady hands and brushwork for clean, even coats
  • Attention to corners, sashes, and sill edges
  • Maintaining the original aesthetic while upgrading the look and protection

Results

Though it was a time-consuming task, the final outcome made a dramatic impact. The freshly painted windows gave the entire home a cleaner, brighter, and more finished appearance. The homeowner was thrilled to see their aging windows brought back to life with lasting durability and curb appeal.
