Exterior repainting in Gilbert, AZ
Most Gilbert tracts hit their first repaint between years 5 and 7 — sooner on the south and west elevations. We prep right, use coatings rated for a 160°F desert wall, and back-roll every body coat so the paint actually bonds to the stucco texture. Brand and product spec'd on the proposal in writing.
Paint fails faster here
UV is 40% stronger than the U.S. average and south-wall surface temps hit 160°F by mid-afternoon in July. Most exterior paint failures we're called to fix were jobs done with the wrong product, not too few coats. We lean on Sherwin-Williams Loxon XP and Dunn-Edwards Evershield for body — both rated for desert exposure.
What a Gilbert repaint includes
Pressure wash + dry-to-spec cure. Every hairline caulked or patched first (paint isn't a filler).
Primer where it earns its keep — bare substrate, chalked walls, stain blockers. No blanket priming over good paint.
Two-coat topcoat, body + trim + accent. Cut-in by hand; body spray + back-roll for adhesion to the stucco texture.
