Exterior Wood Window Trim Painting
Pickering
Project Overview
Mark reached out to Home Painters Toronto for help painting window trim on his two-story home in Pickering to improve curb appeal. The wood windows, bay window trim, and Tudor-style stucco boards were showing visible wear, and he wanted a clean, professional refresh without addressing the back or other areas of the house.
With the short exterior season already underway, timing and workmanship were top priorities. Mark chose Home Painters Toronto for our proven track record, fast scheduling, and trusted expertise in residential exterior projects.
Exterior Wood Window Trim Painting
The Challenge
This exterior project had a few limitations:
- No access to the back or upper eaves, so all work was focused on the window trim and wood trim on the front and two sides.
- The gardens and patio areas required careful protection from paint and debris.
- Several areas, including the bay window, had rotting wood that needed replacement before painting.
- Seasonal heat and limited summer weather windows made timing critical.
Every step required precision. From inspecting deteriorated wood to prepping each inch of window trim exterior for long-lasting results.
The Result
In just three days, Home Painters Toronto delivered a clean, durable finish. The freshly painted window trim in white and the matched grey wood accents gave the home an updated, polished look.
The team proactively replaced rotted trim near the bay window and ensured every brush stroke looked smooth. Mark appreciated their respect for his home and daily updates on progress. His exterior now looks fresh, with window trim that will stand up to the seasons ahead.
Scope of Work
Step 1: Site Protection
- Covered patios, gardens, and shrubbery using drop sheets and plastic.
- Secured ladders in the backyard to avoid theft.
- Ensured all areas around window trim were shielded from paint splatter.
Step 2: Wood Rot Repair & Replacement
- Performed thorough wood rot repair by inspecting and removing decayed sections, especially near the bay window.
- Replaced all rotting wood to create a solid, paint-ready surface.
- Matched new wood pieces with the existing trim to maintain a cohesive look.
Step 3: Surface Prep
- Scraped and sanded the wood trim thoroughly.
- Caulked gaps and sealed cracks in all window trim exterior.
- Primed bare wood for adhesion and durability.
Step 4: Painting
- Applied two coats of Sherwin-Williams A100 flat exterior paint. White on window trim, frames, and small bay window. Custom grey to match existing woodwork.
- Manually brushed each surface, no spraying, for maximum control and a clean finish.
