Exterior Painting

Exterior painting Kitchener homeowners trust for curb appeal and protection

Protect and beautify your home

A fresh exterior that stands up to Ontario weather

A great exterior paint job does more than improve curb appeal. In Kitchener-Waterloo, harsh winters, humid summers, and constant freeze-thaw cycles can wear down surfaces fast. The right coatings, applied the right way, help protect your siding and trim from moisture, sun exposure, and everyday wear.


M&M Custom Painting provides exterior home painting for houses, garages, and exterior features that need a clean, durable finish. We work on a range of materials, including siding, brick, stucco, doors, and trim, using products that are made to last in local conditions. If you are comparing exterior house painters in the region, you should expect thorough prep, clean lines, and a finish that does not start failing after the first rough season.

Our exterior painting process

A proven process for a long-lasting finish

Exterior painting is all about prep and timing. Here is how we approach most exterior projects in Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, and surrounding areas.

1.

Surface preparation that helps paint bond

We start by cleaning the exterior properly, often with power washing to remove dirt, mildew, and chalking so the new coating can adhere. Then we scrape loose paint, sand rough edges, and caulk gaps around trim, windows, and doors to keep moisture out. We also protect landscaping and keep the site tidy while work is underway.

2.

Repairs and priming where it matters

If we find minor damage like cracked trim, soft spots, or failing caulk lines, we flag it early and handle repairs with your approval. We prime bare areas and any spots that need it so the topcoat lays evenly and holds up. This step is a big reason a professional job lasts longer than a quick repaint.

3.

Even coverage with the right application

We apply high-quality exterior coatings using brushes and rollers, and when appropriate, sprayers for consistent coverage on larger surfaces. We build proper coats for true colour depth and a finish that resists peeling and fading. We schedule around weather, because temperature and moisture matter, especially in spring and fall in Ontario.

4.

Cleanup and a final walkthrough

When painting is complete, we remove masking, clean up materials, and do a full walk-around with you to confirm details. The goal is simple: clean edges, even coverage, and no missed spots from soffits down to foundation trim.

Exterior surfaces we paint

Not every exterior needs the same approach. Different materials require different prep and coatings, and that is where experience matters.

Siding and exterior walls

We paint common siding types, including wood, vinyl, and aluminum, and we choose products designed to flex and hold up outside. If you have older siding with wear showing through, prep and priming become even more important for a smooth final result.

Brick and stucco

Brick and stucco can be updated dramatically with the right coating system. We handle the prep, sealing, and primers needed for masonry so the finish looks consistent and performs properly.

Doors, windows, and trim

Front doors and garage doors can change the whole look of a home, and crisp trim makes the exterior feel sharp. We paint fascia, soffits, trim boards, shutters, and window frames with careful edging so the details look intentional, not messy.

Paint choices that last

Durable exterior coatings using Sherwin-Williams and Dulux

Exterior paint needs to resist sun, moisture, and temperature swings, not just look good on day one. We use premium Sherwin-Williams and Dulux products selected for durability, coverage, and colour stability. We also match primers and coatings to the surface, so wood, masonry, and siding get what they actually need.


If you are repainting because of peeling, fading, or chalking, we focus on the root cause so the new finish lasts longer. That often comes down to cleaning, adhesion, and sealing, not simply applying another coat over the problem.

Exterior painting FAQ

Common questions about exterior house painting

  • How often should I repaint my house exterior in Ontario?

    Many homes need repainting every 5 to 10 years, depending on the surface, sun exposure, and the quality of the previous paint job. Proper prep and premium coatings can help extend that timeline.

  • What is the best time of year to paint a house exterior here?

    Late spring through early fall is usually best, when temperatures are consistently above about 10°C and conditions are dry. We avoid painting in rain and work around temperature swings to protect the finish.

  • Can you paint brick or stucco?

    Yes. Both can be repainted with the right prep and coating system. Brick and stucco often require specific primers and sealers, and we handle that as part of the scope.

  • Do I need special paint for vinyl siding?

    Vinyl siding can be painted successfully with the right exterior coatings. We typically recommend choosing a colour that is similar or lighter than the original, since very dark colours can absorb more heat and increase the risk of warping.

  • Do I need to do any prep before painters arrive?

    We ask that you clear items near exterior walls and, if possible, trim plants that are tight against the house. We handle the rest, including cleaning, scraping, sanding, caulking, and protection of surrounding areas.
