Exterior House Painting
Exterior house painters across the GTA
Brick, stucco, aluminum, Hardie siding, and trim. We pressure wash, re-caulk the joints Toronto winters crack open, prime the bare spots, and recoat with weather-rated paint built for Ontario's freeze-thaw cycle.
What's included
Exterior prep is everything
Peeling, blistering, and early fade almost always trace back to prep that got rushed. In our climate, water that gets behind a coat freezes, expands, and lifts the paint by spring. The steps below are how we stop that — and they're written into every quote.
- Pressure washing to strip dirt, chalk, and mildew
- Scraping, sanding, and feathering of lifting paint
- Re-caulking joints the freeze-thaw cycle has cracked open
- Wood, stucco, and masonry repair as needed
- Spot-priming on bare and repaired surfaces
- Spray and back-brush, then two coats of weather-rated topcoat
- Windows, lights, and landscaping masked off
- Daily cleanup and a final walkaround with you

Exterior painting questions, answered
When is the best time to paint a home's exterior in Toronto?+
Late May through early October. The Ontario exterior season is short, so the calendar fills fast. We watch humidity, dew point, and overnight lows so each coat cures before the temperature drops. Outside the season we still handle small touch-ups when conditions allow.
How long does an exterior repaint take?+
A typical 2-storey detached home runs 5–10 working days, depending on the siding, how much scraping and carpentry it needs, and the weather. Larger homes can run 2–3 weeks. Weather delays are built into the schedule — we won't coat a surface that's wet or about to get rained on.
Do you paint brick and stucco exteriors?+
Yes. For brick we use breathable, masonry-rated coatings and finish any tuck-pointing first. Painting brick is a one-way decision — once coated it has to be repainted on a cycle, so we walk you through that before recommending it. Stucco gets cracks filled and a masonry primer before topcoat.
Can you paint aluminum and Hardie siding?+
Yes. Chalky aluminum siding gets washed and a bonding primer so the new coat grips. Hardie and other fibre-cement board takes an acrylic system that flexes with the freeze-thaw cycle instead of cracking. We match the right coating to the substrate rather than rolling the same paint over everything.
What warranty comes with an exterior project?+
Every exterior project carries a 1-year written workmanship warranty from Lince's Painting, on top of the manufacturer's product warranty on the coatings (typically 7–25 years depending on the line). We're $2M insured and WSIB compliant, so your property is covered while we're on it.
