Refresh window trim, fascia, soffit, and door trim — the details that make your home look sharp and stay protected.
Trim is the first place East Tennessee weather attacks.
Fascia boards, window frames, door casings, and soffits take direct hits from sun, rain, and humidity — while the siding underneath stays cleaner.
Peeling trim doesn’t just look bad. It signals that water is getting close to the wall system.
For full-house painting, see our exterior painting page.

Why Cheap Trim Painting Fails
Painting rotted trim without repairing wood first = peeling within a season.
Skipping primer on bare wood = adhesion failure at the worst spots.
Not re-caulking joints = water gets behind trim and rots the wall.
Cheap paint on trim = fading in 2-3 years under Tennessee sun.
We fix root causes before painting, not after.
Hidden Damage Policy
If rotted wood, failed caulking, or moisture damage is discovered during trim prep, we stop and document with photos.
We provide a written Change Order before painting continues.
We never paint over rotted trim.
