Arizona Painting Company recently completed a full exterior repaint of a 6,039-square-foot, single-story home in Peoria, Arizona. Because of the size of the property and the condition of the existing exterior, proper surface preparation was an important part of creating a durable, long-lasting finish.
The exterior painting project was completed in four days.
Scope of the Exterior Painting Project
Before painting began, our team applied a full coat of masonry waterproofer to the home’s foundation.
The body and trim were painted with Sherwin-Williams Duration Flat, while Sherwin-Williams Latitude Gloss was used on the doors. The home’s existing colors were professionally color matched to maintain the property’s established exterior appearance.
- Home Size: 6,039 square feet
- Home Style: Single-story
- Body: Sherwin-Williams Duration Flat
- Trim: Sherwin-Williams Duration Flat
- Doors: Sherwin-Williams Latitude Gloss
- Colors: Professionally color matched
- Project Timeline: 4 days
The Duration coating was applied using a spray-and-backroll process. Backrolling was performed on the home’s vertical siding to help create consistent coverage and proper adhesion.

Preparing a Chalky Exterior Surface
The home’s exterior had developed a chalky surface from prolonged exposure to the Arizona climate. Painting directly over a chalky substrate can interfere with adhesion, so additional preparation was necessary before applying the finish coat.
Our team applied a clear bonding sealer to the areas being painted. The sealer helps stabilize the existing surface and provides a stronger bond between the substrate and the new exterior coating.
Protecting Weathered Exterior Features
Another consideration during this Peoria painting project was the condition of exterior components that had been exposed to the elements for an extended period.
Features that required additional care during preparation included:
- Garage window inserts
- Plastic shutters and sills
- Plastic cord coverings
- Other exterior accents affected by prolonged sun and weather exposure
These types of materials can become brittle over time, so our team took additional care during the preparation process to minimize the risk of damage.
With detailed preparation, masonry waterproofing and professional exterior coatings, this large Peoria home received a refreshed finish designed for long-term performance in Arizona’s demanding climate.
