Scope of work
This Beach Grove home came to Texora Painting & Drywall with significant paint failure: chalking, peeling on the wood soffits, and UV-faded body colour. The homeowners wanted a full refresh with a modern colour palette that would hold up against the coastal marine air that's typical in south Tsawwassen.
We completed a full exterior repaint of the 2-storey single-family home, including all vertical siding, soffit, fascia, window frames, door frames, and accent trim. The work included:
- Full pressure wash of all exterior surfaces to remove dirt, mildew, and chalk
- Allowance for dry time before any coating work began
- Scraping and sanding all areas of loose or peeling paint down to a firm edge
- Caulking all window frames, door frames, and butt joints in the siding with a paintable polyurethane sealant
- Spot-priming all bare wood and repaired areas with Loxon XL primer
- Two full coats of Sherwin-Williams Duration on the body colour
- Two full coats of trim colour on all fascia, window casings, and door frames
- Soffits painted separately in a complementary colour
- Back-roll technique used throughout for maximum coating adhesion and even texture
Duration Exterior has a self-priming formula and Scotchgard Protector technology for mildew resistance, which matters in Beach Grove's damp, salt-air environment. The back-roll finish creates a slight texture that helps hide minor surface imperfections while improving paint grip on older wood.
Our process
Initial assessment & colour consultation
We met with the homeowners on-site to assess the extent of paint failure, identify any areas of wood rot or damage, and review their colour choices. We brought physical SW Duration fan decks and reviewed how the selected palette would look against the home's roof and stonework in natural light.
Pressure wash & dry time
The full exterior was pressure washed at 2,000 PSI, working top to bottom to flush all debris downward. We left a full 24-hour dry window before beginning any prep work: painting over a damp surface is one of the most common causes of premature paint failure.
Surface prep: scrape, sand & caulk
All peeling paint was scraped and feathered smooth. Bare wood was hand-sanded to remove any remaining oxidation. All gaps at window and door frames were re-caulked with NPC Solar Seal: a premium paintable sealant with 50-year rating.
Prime bare areas
Any exposed wood after scraping was spot-primed with Loxon XL to seal the surface, prevent tannin bleed, and ensure the topcoat bonded properly. Priming bare wood before topcoat is non-negotiable: skipping it leads to early peel and adhesion failure.
First body coat
SW Duration body colour applied by brush and roller: brush to cut in around all trim, window frames, and corners; back-rolled immediately behind for consistent texture. Working in sections to maintain a wet edge.
Trim first coat
All fascia, window casings, door frames, and corner boards cut in and rolled in the selected trim colour. A second crew member handled trim while the body coat dried to maximize efficiency.
Body second coat
Second coat applied in the same manner as the first, ensuring full coverage and proper mil thickness. Duration is designed for two-coat application: both coats are needed to achieve the rated durability.
Final trim & detail work
Second coat of trim colour applied. All detail areas (soffits, attic vents, light fixture surrounds) touched up and finished. Masking removed and all overspray or drips cleaned.
Walk-through & touch-ups
Final walk-around with the homeowners to review all elevations in full daylight. Any missed spots or holidays addressed on the spot before we packed up. Site left clean: all drop cloths, masking, and materials removed.
"Absolutely amazing work! The attention to detail and professionalism really stood out, and the final result completely exceeded expectations"
